clamd service didn't start
 

Hi there I try to start clamd service since I found "PROCS CRITICAL: 0 processes with command name 'clamd'" from nagios.
so I check at its log file at "tail /home/clamav/logs/clamd.log" it said that log file exceeding maximum limit so I try to rotate log by
pico /root/123/etc/logrotate.d/clamd
/home/clamav/logs/clamd.log {
rotate 12
weekly
compress
delaycompress
create 640 clamav adm
postrotate
/etc/init.d/clamav restart > /dev/null
endscript
}
logrotate -f /root/123/etc/logrotate.d/clamd

then I check the log again I found different error instead (like below)
root@pat:/# tail /home/clamav/logs/clamd.log
Fri Apr 16 05:31:43 2010 -> Log file size limited to 1048576 bytes.

Please help!
Thanks in advance

Hi,

With clamd stopped you can (re)move the databases from /home/clamav/var/lib/clamav and run freshclam again to get the newer versions.

Regards

Thank by the way, this issue is already solved by upgrade clamav
