I have clamav.log full of these messages, what might be the problem and how to fix this? I have Debian clamav-0.97.6+dfsg-1~squeeze1 spamassassin-3.3.1-1 dovecot-pop3d-1.2.15-7 postfix-2.7.1-1+squeeze1 and also there is somewhere near milter.

LocalSocket setting is ok

  • @MichaelHampton, yup it seems to solve the problem. I am using ISPManager and I thought after installing it will start the clamd right away, so didn't checked this option. You can post it as an answer, so i'll accept :) – Jevgeni Smirnov Jun 04 '13 at 04:59

The clamd server doesn't appear to be running. Try starting it.

Check equally:

/etc/clamav/clamd.conf

...
LocalSocket /var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl
...

And

/etc/clamav/clamav-milter.conf

...
ClamdSocket unix:/var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl
...

When there is an issue with clamd@scan service, because the user changed from clam to clamscan try this solution: (ATTENTION!!! THIS IS A SOLUTION FOR Red Hat, CentOS, Fedora family distros).

# sudo mkdir -p /var/log/clamav

Make sure the /var/lib/clamav & /var/log/clamav with the right user & group.

# sudo chown -R clamscan:clamscan /var/lib/clamav
# sudo chown -R clamscan:clamscan /var/log/clamav

Open the file /etc/freshclam.conf and make sure the lines are set to as below:

# sudo nano /etc/freshclam.conf

Find and check does it contain this: (use ctrl+w)

DatabaseDirectory /var/lib/clamav
DatabaseOwner clamscan

#sudo nano /etc/clamd.conf

Find and check does it contain this: (use ctrl+w)

LogFile /var/log/clamav/clamd.scan
DatabaseDirectory /var/lib/clamav
User clamscan

# sudo nano /etc/clamd.d/scan.conf

Find and check does it contain this: (use ctrl+w)

LocalSocket /var/run/clamd.scan/clamd.sock

# sudo nano /etc/mail/clamav-milter.conf

Find and check does it contain this: (use ctrl+w)

ClamdSocket unix:/var/run/clamd.scan/clamd.sock

If someone is using clamav milter and has an issue. 

# sudo chown -R clamilt:clamilt /var/run/clamav-milter/clamav-milter.socket
# sudo chown -R clamilt:clamilt /var/run/clamav-milter/
# sudo chmod 775 /var/run/clamav-milter/clamav-milter.socket
# sudo chmod -R 775 /var/run/clamav-milter/
# sudo getfacl /var/run/clamav-milter/clamav-milter.socket
# sudo getfacl /var/run/clamav-milter/

Restart will take up to 2 minutes or longer, just wait. It should start itself.

# sudo systemctl restart clamd@scan
# sudo freshclam

Check the status:

# sudo systemctl status clamd@scan
