Could you post an instruction about how to swith to clamd in other version of linux? e.g Redhat. It will be great if you do that. Cheers.
There are many posts about it. Please search forum first. It's easy to find out how to use your distribution supplied clamav daemon (clamd). Edit Code: /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/tools/clamav/bin/clamassassin file and change CLAMSCAN value to clamd absolute path, for example (SLES10SP1): Code: CLAMSCAN=/usr/bin/clamdscan Also edit ispconfig startup file Code: /etc/init.d/ispconfig_server and comment out freshclam startup/shutdown lines and use your distribution freshclamd daemon. Above solution (topic author's) did not require to do that - but personally i prefer this one.
If your trying to get this working on centos check out http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=16723 and http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=12864 Page 2 This helped me fix the above init.d script as it didn't work on centos. Cheers, bwragg
Great posts. Thanks for the responses, I used to have the same problems but your solutions worked for me. Great help!
I am new to open source software / operating systems and this forum will be helpful. Thanks for posting the solutions. Is there any link to common issues in Linux?
Yep! I too need links. I am encountering so much error messages from the server. I am an ojt here in our company and i am assigned to correct this one.
Nice post and really helpful. Thanks guys for sharing. But I need some tutorials because I want to know more. Can anyone explain it to me?
