[Bill Shirley]

Do you have that directory?  What are the permissions?

Hi Steve

I renamed the sample file & commented the Example line mentioned in your
reply. When I run freshclam now, I get a new error as given below:

[root@localhost ~]# freshclam
ERROR: Can't change dir to /usr/local/share/clamav
[root@localhost ~]# freshclam -d
ERROR: Can't change dir to /usr/local/share/clamav

What to do?

Thanks

Re: [clamav-users] Error: upgrading Clamav

[Steven Morgan]

You need to set up /usr/local/etc/freshclam.conf. By default, the ClamAV
supplies a sample configuration file named freshclam.conf.sample. Rename or
copy this file to freshclam.conf. You will need to comment out the line
near the top of the file containing "Example".

Hope this helps,
Steve

Hi Ravi,

In the top of the /etc/freshclam.conf you probably need to remove this line:

# Comment or remove the line below.
Example
