I am having a big problem trying to allow PHP to scan files, using clamav libs in PHP.

I downloaded the relevant files from:
http://www.clamav.net/lang/en/downlo...party-library/

Anyways I am stuck on the tutorial for installing it in the 'INSTALL' file, where it says to run the command:
It runs for a duration but then halts on the following error:
It suggests that 'configure:3465' that the files where not found going by the line above that.

Not being in the default path, does anyone know where to make libclamav work?

Does anyone know of an easier way of locating such files that it's looking for?

Drastically stuck here, just wondered if anyone could help me please?

Much appreciate any replies in advance,
Jeremy.

Hi,

I guess it's looking for clamav shared libraries and header files, like libclamav.so and clamav.h.
You didn't say your distro, but you need to use the distro's package manager to install something like libclamav-dev, along with the clamav package

Ahh yes of course, thank you ever so much!

I forgot about that since I have installed a few other packages/modules in PHP and they needed the header files and which ever of a -dev part of an application.

I think it would be an rpm, since it's what came out of iRedMail you see, I will have a hunt around for it anyways and search an outout from yum and see what happens, since I am using Centos 5.6.

Thank you ever so much again though, very helpful,
Jeremy.

Actually I cannot find it.

The version when I ran:

It came up with this version here:
As I can remember, this is the latest version, I can just find it on their website can't I?

I mean this is what I have found when I search with yum:

Thats all there is, when I enable all the repos where rpm packages can be found, thats the whole list when I search even for just 'clam' without anything else!

Any help as usual is appreciated, failing that I could just use the exec() command in PHP to use the shell but that would take a little more work than what I originally wanted.

Just thought it would be quite interesting to get this working.

As I said any help's much appreciated!
Jeremy.

Hi,

Doing a little googling, I was able to find the clamav-devel package here

Ahh thank you so much!

Why could not I find that myself?

Probably looking for the wrong package, what did you search for by any chance?

Thank you so much for assisting me, was just getting on with another approach to file scanning, was not really working very well.

Really appreciate that!
Jeremy.

Thank you ever so much!

Now got it working as a module in PHP.

Checked its loaded within a script and it now works, many thanks!

Jeremy

Hmm got it working installed as a module however.

I just wondered where would I locate the directory where my signatures for clamav exist please?

It's just I have checked an email I was told had a virus and got PHP to check in that particular directory, for testing purposes only available to me.

But came up with no virus found, this will be due to the following message:

With the main part of the worry being '0 virus signatures' is there anyway of locating where I can find all my signatures please?

Just I think this will be finished once I get those.

Thank you for your help so far and I appreciate any replies in advance,
Jeremy

Ahh sorry found it!

You can ignore the last comment and a final thank you ever so much for helping me out, it's loaded the signatures, weird how it wasn't working when I set it in the php.d/clamav.ini file I made, where to locate the db files.

I did a manual reboot of my server and it worked eventually, so thank you once again, now this post is closed, must be something wrong with their logic in the test scripts, probably did not change something maybe they should have.

Quite used to that now in my time of web development work, also it's not really sucking too much power out either, which is what I was worried about.

All the best,
Jeremy.
