Clamscan does not use a config file - the default database directory is set at compile-time. Either recompile clamav with the desired --with-dbdir=/some/path or adjust freshclam.conf and clamd.conf to agree with clamscan on the database location. Your previous post showed that freshclam is also using the antique database, so something still wrong there. Maybe freshclam doesn't have write permission in the database directory. -- Noel Jones _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
