Have you tried to query what process is locking the log file? It is possible that multiple freshclam instances are running at the same time, especially if an instance of freshclam is running as a daemon.
On Linux, you can use a command such as "lsof | grep freshclam.log" to identify what process is locking a freshclam.log. -Kevin On Mon, Sep 22, 2014 at 6:26 PM, David Cain <sblkclamav-us...@jimmiedave.com > wrote: > ERROR: Problem with internal logger (UpdateLogFile = > /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log). > ERROR: /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log is locked by another process > > DC > _______________________________________________ > Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: > https://github.com/vrtadmin/clamav-faq > > http://www.clamav.net/contact.html#ml > _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: https://github.com/vrtadmin/clamav-faq http://www.clamav.net/contact.html#ml
