It was suggested that: "If FreshClam is failing and you're not sure why, you may run freshclam -v for "Verbose Mode" to see the HTTP request & response details (ClamAV 0.102+)."
And that: "[If] running a version of FreshClam/ClamAV lower than 0.103.2? If so, you should immediately upgrade to at least 0.103.2." But am exclusively a Debian Linux site. There is no version beyond 1.0 for Linux. While I installed the code via aptitude, a Debian package installer, I did check to see if there was a later version on https://www.clamav.net/downloads for Linux. There is not. 1.03 is a Windows version. The command freshclam -v in version 1.0 does NOT display http request and responses. It doesn't tell me anything that I didn't see before. As the response was "FreshClam previously received error code 429 or 403 from the ClamAV Content Delivery Network (CDN)." I have no idea whether the real response was 403 or 429, and so there is no way to know, regardless of what the individual responding suggested. The response also said "If you are receiving a 403, 503, or 1020 error codes when downloading from Cloudflare, then you are either explicitly blocked, using an EOL'ed version of ClamAV or you are downloading incorrectly." But I have no idea where I am receiving the response from. This is a command-line issue at a terminal prompt on Debian 11.5 (bullseye). I am not using a browser. As I noted, the initial install on the same type of OS on a separate Debian 11.5 server ran fine and the 'freshclam' command worked. The failures came when I attempted to run the command on other servers. As to setting up a mirror, I will look into it, but ClamAV documentation says that doing so delays needed current updates. And I don't have ten hosts. Further, while I will look at it further, what I see for mirrors on Linux, it is for the entire code not just the refresh stuff. I don't want to open a server up to more that I need and my servers are CMD only. While a couple do have GUIs if I go to them, I typically interact with them as SSH sessions. Some of the docs seem to require GUI access. _______________________________________________ Manage your clamav-users mailing list subscription / unsubscribe: https://lists.clamav.net/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: https://github.com/Cisco-Talos/clamav-documentation https://docs.clamav.net/#mailing-lists-and-chat
