Version of ClamAV?
0.88.2

Have you run freshclam?
I in order to resolve this problem (Can't initialize the virus database) I have:

- uninstall the previous clam version (0.88.1) with 'rpm -e clamav'
- I have created '/var/lib/clamav' with the right permissions
- I have created the user/groups 'clamav'
- yum install clamav

..but now I do not understand if clamav/freshclam he is in execution or not !

What's the output of "clamscan --verbose /dev/null"?

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# clamscan --verbose /dev/null

..but if:

..in '/etc/rc.d/init.d' I don't have a nobody script for boot startup of freshclam, but when I used the previous version (0.88.1) was this ! ..
I have used 'www.webmail.us/testvirus' and all the virus are captured.

My conf is:
/etc/clamd.conf
LogFile /var/log/clamav/clamd.log
PidFile /var/run/clamav/clamd.pid
DatabaseDirectory /var/lib/clamav

/etc/freshclam.conf
DatabaseDirectory /var/lib/clamav
UpdateLogFile /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log
PidFile /var/run/clamav/freshclam.pid
DatabaseOwner clamav
Checks 24
NotifyClamd /etc/clamd.conf

I use also amavisd-new, and with the clam previous version (0.88.1) is all ok !!
thanks and sorry for my confusion !
