Software :: Can't Open , Var , Log , Clamav , Freshclam.log In Append Mode / Fix It?
Jul 14, 2009I keep getting the message code...
I am not clear why clamd.log and freshclam keep changing permission and ownership to clamav.

I am not clear why clamd.log and freshclam keep changing permission and ownership to clamav.
I have installed ClamAV 0.95.3 into Ubuntu 9.10 (i386) fully patched
I am behind an authenticating proxy, so I've entered these details into freshclam.conf:
HTTPProxyServer myproxy.com
HTTPProxyPort 1234
HTTPProxyUsername myusername
HTTPProxyPassword mypass
code....
So I changed the perms to 0700 (user is clamav).
Now I get:
$ sudo freshclam
ERROR: Can't open/parse the config file /etc/clamav/freshclam.conf
I checked DNS resolution with this (which I found in a thread somewhere):
# host database.clamav.net
database.clamav.net is an alias for db.local.clamav.net.
db.local.clamav.net is an alias for db.other.clamav.net.
db.other.clamav.net has address 193.1.193.64
db.other.clamav.net has address 130.59.10.36
- I presume the installation can find the update site?
downloaded clamav and clam-db using install/remove software in opensuse 11.3 gnome.
tried to update virusdatabase typing freshclam in command-line
gives me this:
alexander@linux-y54v:~> freshclam

I have installed my first Ubuntu server today. It is connected to our corporate network. On this network there is a Windows 2008 R2 server that serves as DNS Exchange and file server. For some unknown reason this Windows server looses network connection when the ubuntu server comes online. After some investigation the network connection is instantly restored when I stop the clamav-freshclam service on the ubuntu server. When I start the service the network connection of the Windows server goes down.The only "link" with the Windows service and the Ubuntu server is that the Windows server is configure as the nameserver on the ubuntu server.
I want to run this in production because the ubuntu will serve as anti-spam server. I need to understand what is happing and why to prevent this.
Is set up a postfix, dovecot + clamav server as described in the wiki. I also use the freshclam update script in /etc/cron.daily/freshclam. But my problem is i get this error message every day:
/etc/cron.daily/freshclam:
ERROR: Problem with internal logger (UpdateLogFile = /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log). ERROR: /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log is locked by another process
When i run $ sudo freshclam I get this message ClamAV update process started at Sat Oct 9 12:21:22 2010 WARNING: Your ClamAV installation is OUTDATED!

Guessing I may have to download the package and install manually just thought I'd ask before doing that.

This started happening sometime yesterday afternoon on a server that's been trouble free for years.
My Ubuntu update is scheduled to run every month on the 5th, so this was roughly 10 days after that. So it seems to me it's not update related. The only thing I've done on the server lately is update a spamassassin rule which required an amavis restart. That was done earlier in the week.
I've already reviewed issues at [url] and all the conditions are correct for the more recent How to.
I can also confirm that, in fact, /var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl does not exist.
I have two servers complaining about ClamAV being outdated:
WARNING: Your ClamAV installation is OUTDATED!
WARNING: Local version: 0.96.1 Recommended version: 0.96.3
Doing an aptitude update says I don't have to upgrade anything. Why is this? Must ClamAV be updated manually?
On a new machine (Ubuntu 10.04.2), the freshclam program (in the package clamav-freshclam version 0.96.5+dfsg-1ubuntu1.10.04.2) won't do updates. It fails on DNS queries. DNS is working for other programs OK. Diagnosis with tcpdump shows that it is sending the queries to 127.0.0.1 instead of the actual DNS servers designated in the /etc/resolv.conf file. Of course it won't get an answer because it is querying the wrong IP address. There is a --no-dns option which I tried, but that doesn't help. Any idea if freshclam or clamav needs its own config of DNS servers?

Do I need to tell ot what the DNS servers are, somewhere?
Why would it query only 127.0.0.1 for DNS?
I got my version of clamav working and it's fully updated. Problem is I can't seem to get my LibClamAV to function correctly. The output of #freshclam works But when I do: #service clamd.amavisd restart
This is the error:
LibClamAV Warning: ***********************************************************
LibClamAV Warning: *** This version of the ClamAV engine is outdated. ***
LibClamAV Warning: *** DON'T PANIC! Read http://www.clamav.net/support/faq ***
LibClamAV Warning: ***********************************************************
My version is updtodate and I am unsure why the error. I am using amavisd-new-2.5.2 (20070627) and Clamav 0.95.3
I can install clamav from SBo no problem, but the version is outdated. I downloaded the newer source code from clamav's site, edited the slackbuild to reflect the new version number, and rebuilt the package. But I get this following error when building.
Config files are installed in the proper places (except the file /etc/clamd.conf.rej referred to below which doesn't exist). But the binaries clamd and freshclam aren't installed anywhere.
Code:

When I log on a root and attempt to issue the command Freshclam to upgrade the virus definitions it attempts or create a new file with a definition name. I get a message stating that the directory isnt writable. The user and group access rights are as follows:
USER = read, write, execute
Group = read, write, execute
All= read, execute.
The only way I can get around this is by applying a 777 which would be read, write and execute for all. Now, I have a group define with several user ids in it including Root.How do I connect the group with the directory/file so I dont have to apply a 777 access right to group users could issue the Freshclam command.

Why is this happening? What's wrong? I've found that this problem begins on the second try to open the file-- for the first time clicking on it, kwrite opens it for editing but not on tries following the first one made in the same computer session. Rebooting fixes the problem but only for the first new opening of the file.
