freshclam trouble with The Perfect Server CentOS 7.3

=> https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial...php-pureftpd-postfix-dovecot-and-ispconfig/2/

The tutorial says:

Code:

yum -y install amavisd-new spamassassin clamav-server clamav-data clamav-update clamav-filesystem clamav clamav-scanner-systemd clamav-devel clamav-lib clamav-server-systemd unzip bzip2 perl-DBD-mysql postgrey re2c

and when the time comes to run freshclam, I simply get:

Code:

#freshclam
ERROR: Can't open/parse the config file /etc/freshclam.conf

I double checked, the freshclam.conf file is there and EXAMPLE is commented out. Any ideas?

=======
and here's the next problem with this tutorial:

Code:

#./certbot-auto
Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log
Enter email address (used for urgent renewal and security notices) (Enter 'c' to
cancel):[email protected]
An unexpected error occurred:
ReadTimeout: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org', port=443): Read timed out. (read timeout=45)
Please see the logfiles in /var/log/letsencrypt for more details.

after waiting about 12h the problem resolved itself, maybe letsencrypt was having problems?

 

Next problem with this tutorial: pureftpd

Code:

#systemctl enable pure-ftpd.service
#systemctl start pure-ftpd.service
Job for pure-ftpd.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status pure-ftpd.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

Code:

#systemctl status pure-ftpd.service

Seems to be a kernel issue as centos 7.3 is running inside LXC on top of Proxmox which is not using a stock kernel :-( is there perhaps an alternative to pureftpd which ISPCFG3 supports and which will work with a non stock kernel?

 

next issue when installing ISPCFG3 => which is missing:

Code:

#php -q install.php

>> Initial configuration

Operating System: CentOS 7.3

sh: which: command not found

 

Thanks Till, I had installed which on my own I just mentioned it here.

Any ideas about the initial question (sorry for mixing topics) about the freshclam issue?

 

hi, did you solve the problem ? im facing the same problem... :/
"Job for pure-ftpd.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status pure-ftpd.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details."

i do not know how can i solve. and also my dns serves does not working toooo :/

 

I didn't fix the pure-ftp problem, I just switched from using LXC to KVM to avoid it.
