Hello Support Team,
Recently we have install Clam AV on RHEL 8.7 server using Installing -
ClamAV Documentation <https://docs.clamav.net/manual/Installing.html>
But after installation getting error Failed to start clamd scanner ()
daemon..
Can you please help me in this case.
Forgive me not replying to OPs message, it was before I joined the
mailing list.
I notice in the screenshot the ExecStart line in the systemctl status
output says:
/usr/bin/clamd -c /etc/clamd.d/.conf
That looks a lot like the config file should have been clamd.conf but
you put .conf instead. Either you compiled it to look for the config
file there, or left out the config file option entirely when compiling
and that's what it falls back to.
Alternatively you misconfigured the systemd system file, presumably:
/etc/systemd/system/clamd.service
and put /etc/clamd.d/.conf instead of /etc/clam.d/clamd.conf.
On a side point, typically that configuration directory would be
/etc/clamd/ or /etc/clamav/ rather than /etc/clamd.d/ but I spend more
time on Debian than RHEL so I might be wrong and it doesn't matter so
long as it's right in your systemd .service file and in your compiled
binaries, but just check that really is the correct path to the config.
Regards,
Adam Sweet
