Hello All, First time poster... I am working on the "perfect-server-centos-6.4-x86_64-apache2-dovecot-ispconfig". I am up to the portion of installing and starting Clamav / SpamAssassan Components. When i try to run /etc/init.d/clamd.amavisd start i get the following: Code: # /etc/init.d/clamd.amavisd start Starting clamd.amavisd: [FAILED] I have looked in the forum for help on this topic but none of the solutions have worked and the googles is not bringing any fine results. I also notice that in /var/spool/amavisd/ i do not have a clamd.sock file. Like other users in the past i have touch clamd.sock and that did not help Please any help would be much appreciated. I am just scratching my head here, and it has to be something stupid that i am missing. Additional Note: There is only one step i have not performed in the "perfect-server-centos-6.4-x86" that is installing getmail Common Things Asked in Other Threads: My /var/run/ contains the following: Code: drwxr-xr-x 16 root root 4096 Oct 27 00:56 . drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 4096 Oct 21 21:52 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4 Oct 27 00:31 acpid.pid srw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 Oct 27 00:31 acpid.socket drwxr-xr-x 2 amavis amavis 4096 Oct 27 01:17 amavisd -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4 Oct 27 00:31 auditd.pid drwxr-xr-x 2 clam clam 4096 Oct 6 16:48 clamav drwxr-xr-x 2 amavis amavis 4096 Feb 22 2013 clamd.amavisd drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Feb 22 2013 console -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5 Oct 27 00:31 crond.pid ---------- 1 root root 0 Oct 27 00:31 cron.reboot drwxr-xr-x 4 root dovecot 4096 Oct 27 00:31 dovecot drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Feb 22 2013 faillock drwx--x--- 2 root apache 4096 Oct 27 00:31 httpd drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 5 13:21 netreport drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Feb 23 2013 plymouth drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct 27 00:31 portreserve -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4 Oct 27 00:31 portreserve.pid drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 27 2012 saslauthd drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Feb 22 2013 sepermit drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 May 10 09:06 setrans drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 23 2010 spamassassin -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4 Oct 27 00:31 sshd.pid -rw------- 1 root root 4 Oct 27 00:31 syslogd.pid -rw-rw-r-- 1 root utmp 3456 Oct 27 00:31 utmp locate claimd.conf list: Code: /etc/clamd.conf /etc/clamd.conf.rpmsave /usr/share/doc/clamd-0.98/clamd.conf /usr/share/man/man5/clamd.conf.5.gz I also change modified /etc/clam.d/amavisd.conf: changed PIDFILE to following: Code: PidFile /var/run/amavisd/clamd.amavisd/clamd.pid /var/spool/ list the following #all subdirectories are also chowned accordingly.

First question: how much RAM has the server? Something in /var/log/syslog when trying to start clamd?
