It needs to be updated by the look, then you can run freshclam again - Did you manually install Clam or did you use cPanels auto install in whm?

# clamscan -V

Will tell you which version is running.

I was wondering how cpanel was going to update their clamavconnector....

Obviously not.....

clamavconnector needs to update as part of the nightly run.....

[DigitalN]

Latest Version is 0.81 Released 26/01

http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...ease_id=300116

If you have installed it using WHM and want to keep it updated that way, using the addonmodule updates, you have to wait till the cPanel crew support it and add the update. Otherwise download it and install it yourself.

If you have the addon selected in WHM, it will check for updates nightly. cPanel aren't going to release the new clam as soon as it hits the shelves. There needs to be some QA testing involved before hand, no matter how stable the vendor says the product is. That said, I've gone ahead and submitted a bugzilla for ya'll to make cpanel aware of the new update.

surely cpanel shouldnt be so far being the updates tho?

Shouldnt they just trust clamav and update the package anyway.

I have been fined by my service for running an out of date clamAV something which i expected to update on its own. not have an engine thats running 2 versions older.

my suggestion.. uninstall the cpanel clamav and install it manually..

How do I upgrade?

bah

How do I upgrade?

Disclaimer: It worked for me. If it borks your system your on your own. That said, goodluck.

Grab the source for clamav 0.82: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/c...ar.gz?download
Make sure you have the GMP library and its headers... quoted from the ClamAV FAQ:

The ClamAV package requires the GMP library to verify the digital signature of the virus database. When building ClamAV you need the GMP library and its headers: if you are using Debian just run apt-get install libgmp3-dev, if you are using an RPM based distribution install the gmp-devel package. You'll need to rerun ./configure and recompile ClamAV.

cd /usr/local/cpanel/modules-install/clamavconnector-Linux-i686
wget http://ovh.dl.sourceforge.net/sour[ceforge/clamav/clamav-0.82.tar.gz
sed -i -e 's/AVV=0.80/AVV=0.82/' install
./install

The 'sed' command may not work if you have an old version of sed, ie. 3.02. If thats the case, just edit the install file with your fav editor and change AVV=0.80 to AVV=0.82. Save it, exit, and run "./install"

Verify that 0.82 has been installed by running the following:

/usr/bin/freshclam -V
/usr/bin/clamscan -V
/usr/sbin/clamd -V

They should all report "ClamAV 0.82/700/Thu Feb 3 15:33:15 2005", run /usr/bin/freshclam to update.

Do we do that every time clam gets outdated????

I've updated mine and will using the instructions above from now on...

[haze]

RS-Freddo, you could, just make sure you don't have the option enabled in WHM to update the clamav connector. You may also miss out on future updates and fixes to the clamavconnector doing so. If you have no need for the cpanel frontend, then perhaps it would be best to just install clamav with exiscan by hand ?

As for your question, make sure to read the release notes and changelog incase anything changes in the build, or configs and make the appropriate changes during the manual install.

I wonder how cPanel will treat this if I leave the "keep clamavconnector updated" option on after upgrading manually. Think it will be a train wreck or would it just update over it, or not at all?
