Quoting Neil Aggarwal <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

Hello:

On my server running Fedora Core2, I installed Clam AV version 0.72
from the dag rpms.

Here is what I did:

cd /usr/local
wget
http://dag.wieers.com/packages/clamav/clamav-0.72-1.1.fc2.dag.i386.rpm
wget
http://dag.wieers.com/packages/clamav/clamav-db-0.72-1.1.fc2.dag.i386.rp
m
wget
http://dag.wieers.com/packages/clamav/clamd-0.72-1.1.fc2.dag.i386.rpm
wget
http://dag.wieers.com/packages/clamav/clamav-milter-0.72-1.1.fc2.dag.i38
6.rpm
rpm -ivh clamav-0.72-1.1.fc2.dag.i386.rpm
clamav-db-0.72-1.1.fc2.dag.i386.rpm clamd-0.72-1.1.fc2.dag.i386.rpm
clamav-milter-0.72-1.1.fc2.dag.i386.rpm

Using crontab -e, I added this line to the crontab:
0 * * * * touch /var/log/clam-update.log ; chmod 0600
/var/log/clam-update.log ; chown clamav.clamav /var/log/clam-update.log
; /usr/local/bin/freshclam --quiet -l /var/log/clamav/clam-update.log

But, when freshclam runs, it gives me this error:
ERROR: Can't open /var/log/clamav/clam-update.log in append mode.
ERROR: Problem with internal logger.

The /var/log/clamav/clam-update.log is present and owned by clamav:
ls -la /var/log/clam-update.log gives me:
-rw-------  1 clamav clamav 0 Jun 14 14:29 /var/log/clam-update.log



If you read the error messages carefully you will see that in crontab you have

/var/log/clam-update.log

and the error from freshclam is:

/var/log/clamav/clam-update.log

Either you made a typo or you got multiple logs going on here.  Either change
the crontab or change /etc/freshclam.conf and point them to the same log file.
