Thanks. That did help. Now I'm getting a problem starting the daemon. The
error that I am getting is:
[r...@neidorff ~]# /etc/init.d/clamd start
Starting Clam AV daemon: ERROR: Missing argument for option at line 33
ERROR: Can't open/parse the config file /usr/local/etc/clamd.conf
[FAILED]
I've checked the clamd.conf file. It looks fine. permissions are 644. I've
tried owner as root, clamav and qscand. No change. I've put some "echo"
statements in /etc/init.d/clamd to verify that it is running and where the
error is coming from. Here are the relavent lines:
start() {
# Find user to run as
CLAMUSER=`grep ^User /etc/clamd.conf | cut -d ' ' -f2`
if [ -z $CLAMUSER ] ; then
CLAMUSER="clamav"
fi
# Lets start up
echo -n $"Starting Clam AV daemon: "
LANG= daemon --user $CLAMUSER /usr/local/sbin/clamd
RETVAL=$?
echo
[ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && touch /var/lock/subsys/clamd
return $RETVAL
}
Line 33 is "return $RETVAL.
Can anyone please help me get my clamav working again?
Thanks,
Mark
That error is not in the init script, it is being generated from the
clamd.conf file and is not a permission issue but a failure to parse the
file. The error is that it does not understand the option on line 33 of
/usr/local/etc/clamd.conf
What do you have on this line? In the default clamd.conf (new one
distributed with 0.96) it is:
# Default: no
which is not a problem. Check your clamd.conf and if you can't see what
is wrong, paste the contents (or partial contents) and I will see if I
can determine what it does not like.
