I'm getting an error that I don't understand. Here's the brief summary, followed by the wordier explanation:
Brief: $ freshclam ERROR: Can't open /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log in append mode (check permissions!). ERROR: Problem with internal logger (UpdateLogFile = /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log). $ ps -Af | grep clamd amavis 30448 1 0 16:00 ? 00:00:04 clamd andy 31044 26453 0 16:12 pts/1 00:00:00 grep clamd $ ls -l /var/log/clamav total 20 -rw-r--r-- 1 amavis clamav 1951 Apr 7 16:11 clamd.log -rw-r----- 1 amavis clamav 9529 Apr 7 04:02 clamd.log.1 -rw-r--r-- 1 amavis clamav 934 Apr 7 16:01 freshclam.log Explanation: I'm running clamd as user amavis. Clamav's log files are owned by user amavis and writeable. When I run freshclam I get an error stating there's a permissions problem, but I don't see one. Does freshclam run as a different user than clamd? I didn't see any option to specify that in /etc/clamd.conf... _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://www.clamav.net/support/ml
