... assuming I am choosing option 2 (serve CVD files from a local web server) when it says, “ let freshclam download the *.cvd files from http://database.clamav.net to the webserver’s DocumentRoot.” how, exactly, is one supposed to do that?
Just set up the configuration and the permissions required.
The simplest choice I can see is to change DatabaseDirectory in freshclam.conf to /var/www/html ... ... my concern with that the current /var/lib/clamav DatabaseDirectory on my existing servers running clam contain the uncompressed cld files, not the cvd files.
Let ClamAV worry about that, and/or search the list archives, and/or read the freshclam.conf 'man' page.
Or is there a part to the private local mirror setup I’m missing, like setting up an entirely different mechanism for pulling CVD files using a bash script with wget commands, or ... ... Secondarily, I’m wondering if there are any gotchas I should be watching for on the web server side, itself. The 2 most obvious things that come to mind are DAC rights and SELinux concerns.
You worry too much, and I suggest perhaps about the wrong things. Is there a reason that you don't just use a Web proxy (option 1)? -- 73, Ged. _______________________________________________ clamav-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.clamav.net/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: https://github.com/vrtadmin/clamav-faq http://www.clamav.net/contact.html#ml
