Thanks so much Edwin!
The problem was with the swap setup. A2's vps servers are not
configured with any swap space! Having only ever worked with my own
configured servers I never even thought to check this out. I added
512MB of swap just using a file and it's now loading clamd.
I'm still going to upgrade the RAM to 256MB since the server needs to
be a little faster and more rugged. I'm going to use ASSP for spam
control and managing the clam service.
You might want to go with a bit more memory than that if you can.
On my
system, clamd takes up 138m all on its own (with the Sanesecurity
signatures).
I'll bet the issue is cost. I am making this on the assumption that A2
refers to A2Hosting. As such, they charge for each increment in ram on
a monthly basis. As long as the server is not doing a lot of hosting
or mysql, then he may get away with 256MB.
