The status request simply fails because in /etc/rc.subr ...

status)
  if [ -n "$rc_pid" ]; then
    echo "${name} is running as pid $rc_pid."
  else
    echo "${name} is not running."
    return 1
  fi
;;

there's only a check whether the pid specified in ...

 /usr/local/etc/clamav-clamd.sh

... exists.

Two things you can test:

 If you are running ClamAV in UNIX domain socket mode,
there must be an appropriate UNIX domain socket file
somewhere, because Amavis tries to connect to the ClamAV
daemon using this socket. Usually this socket is specified
in 'clamd.conf'.

I would say if there's not such a socket file, your
ClamAV daemon is quiete unusable because nobody is able
to connect to the daemon instance.

If you are running ClamAV in TCP/IP mode you can do the
telnet test again. The TCP/IP port ClamAV listens to is
specified in 'clamd.conf' as well.

Finally try running /usr/local/sbin/clamd manually from
the command line to see whether it spits out some error
messages ...

Thanks, that explains why postfix is still logging. But clamd is running...

esmtp# ps -ax | grep clam
26441  ??  Ss     0:00.37 /usr/local/sbin/clamd
26467  ??  Is     0:00.00 /usr/local/bin/freshclam --daemon
26494  ??  Is     0:00.00 /usr/local/bin/freshclam --daemon

But still the server thinks it is not and there is no pid file...

esmtp# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/clamav-clamd.sh status
clamav_clamd is not running.
esmtp# ls -la /var/run/clamav/
total 4
drwxr-xr-x  2 clamav  clamav  512 Feb 23 21:51 .
drwxr-xr-x  6 root    wheel   512 Feb 23 21:51 ..
esmtp#

I even uninstalled and re-installed. Any ideas why this is not reporting as running?

I think the following section in /usr/local/amavisd.conf
should answer your question:

   ### http://www.clamav.net/   - backs up clamd or Mail::ClamAV
   ['ClamAV-clamscan', 'clamscan',
     "--stdout --disable-summary -r --tempdir=$TEMPBASE {}", [0], [1],
     qr/^.*?: (?!Infected Archive)(.*) FOUND$/ ],

Basically if clamd is not running Amavis will execute the
commandline scanner version of ClamAV. That's the reason why
you are still getting log entries.

So to sumarize: ClamAV's daemon is not running, thus
there is neither a PID file nor a UNIX domain socket.

So if you want to use the daemonized version of ClamAV,
you need to elaborate why the daemon isn't started.

I do not have anything in /var/run/clamav and that is the location in
clamd.conf for placing the PID file. I cannot connect to the localhost
as well:

esmtp# telnet localhost 3310
Trying ::1...
telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host

However, according to the clamd.log, clamav is intercepting viruses. Do
you think it is working and why would I not be able to connect via
telnet or view the pid file if it is?

Tho - this file can be configured in /usr/local/etc/clamd.conf.

If ClamAv is running in TCP/IP mode it should be possible to
test whether the server is responding by connecting to its
TCP/IP port using a telnet client ...

  -> telnet localhost 3310

After doing a portupgrade of clamd from 0.81 to 0.83, the service
reports that it is not running using 'clamav-clamd.sh status'.

esmtp# cd /usr/local/etc
esmtp# rc.d/clamav-clamd.sh status
clamav_clamd is not running.
esmtp# ps -ax|grep clam
 781  ??  Ss     0:10.96 /usr/local/sbin/clamd

However, all seems to be fine, postfix 2.1.5, amavisd-new and clamd all
seem to be running and Webmin reports them all as running.


Any thoughts or something I should know regarding the upgrading? I
checked /usr/ports/UPDATING, but nothing regarding this. All conf files
are reflecting the new settings.
