CentOS - May 2007 - clamav error

Hi All,

I installed clam on CentOS 5 as below.

yum install clamav clamav-db clamd

I got them form Dag.

below are the RPMS I installed.
[root at box ~]# rpm -qa |grep clam
clamav-db-0.90.2-1.el4.rf
clamd-0.90.2-1.el4.rf
clamav-0.90.2-1.el4.rf


But, when I restart clam it gives following error.

[root at box init.d]# /etc/init.d/clamd restart
Stopping Clam AntiVirus Daemon:                            [FAILED]
Starting Clam AntiVirus Daemon:                            [  OK  ]

[root at box init.d]# tail -f /var/log/clamav/clamd.log

This happens with clamav-0.90.

I am ruuning clamav-0.88 on CentOS 4.4. It works fine. below are RPMS I
installed on CENTOS 4.4

[root at netmonitor ~]# rpm -qa |grep clam
clamav-0.88.7-1.el4.rf
clamd-0.88.7-1.el4.rf
clamav-db-0.88.7-1.el4.rf

I tried a lot to solve this issue. But still have not been able to solve.

Help needed.

IF you have the same issues that others had when it first came out, then.

 

As I recall, there are slight differences between the older clamav
/etc/clamd.conf files and the new one that must be addressed.

 

It is a simple google to take care of.

 

You might look in the /etc dir and see if a clamd.conf.rpmnew was created
that has the info you need
