    Hi all

    I'm running through The Perfect Server Debian Squeeze (Bind/Dovecot/Nginx/ISPConfig3)

    On this page when I run

    Code:
    apt-get install amavisd-new spamassassin clamav clamav-daemon zoo unzip bzip2 arj nomarch lzop cabextract apt-listchanges libnet-ldap-perl libauthen-sasl-perl clamav-docs daemon libio-string-perl libio-socket-ssl-perl libnet-ident-perl zip libnet-dns-perl
    The output shows

    Code:
    Clamav signatures not found in /var/lib/clamav ... failed!
    Please retrieve them using freshclam ... failed!
    Then run '/etc/init.d/clamav-daemon start' ... failed!
    
    I had some problems around ClamAV in my last installation of ISPConfig and I think they caused its eventual downfall. So I want to ensure I'm following-up on every error message I see during a clean install!

    I'm guessing the above is not okay?

    Please help!

    It happens every time, yes. After that sequence during the install, do:

    Code:
    freshclam
    
    Once the downloads are complete, do:

    Code:
    /etc/init.d/clamav-daemon start
    
    Even if you haven't done it yet, just run freshclam and you can restart your clamav service.
