How to Update to ClamAV -0.81

[Lestat]

This might be a little backwards but works great for me.

Instructions

1: wget -O clam-updater.tar.gz http://www.cpanelappz.com/download.php?file=3
2: tar zxvf clam-updater.tar.gz
3: cd clam-updater
4: ./install
How to test

On shell as root type this (note the CAPITAL V):
clamscan -V

As of date the present release is 0.75.1, so if thats what the above shows you, you are in business ;-)

Now your thinking why am I going backwards on the versions here. Well just made things easier for updating clamav on a fresh install of Cpanel. I tried to install the ClamAV-0.81 without going backwards and still showed the .80 version.

(This is in case your zlib is out of date when you try the ./configure option on clamav)

1: wget http://www.zlib.net/zlib-1.2.2.tar.gz
2: tar zxvf zlib-1.2.2.tar.gz
3: cd zlib-1.2.2
4: make clean
5: ./configure -s
6: make
7: make install

Next step on updating to ClamAV-0.81:

1: wget http://voxel.dl.sourceforge.net/sour...av-0.81.tar.gz
2: tar zxvf clamav-0.81.tar.gz
3: cd clamav-0.81
4: ./configure
5: make
6: make check
7: make install
8: make clean
9: clamscan -V

If I have all wrong please reply. But looks as if it has worked for me just fine.

All in your method is right.
Thx for idea

Didn't work for me at all... it installed .75 but even after i do a 'make install' for .81, cmalscan -V tells me Im still at .75.

Any ideas?

[aldalil]

root@name [~]# tar zxvf clamav-0.81.tar.gz

gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors


!!!


not able to extract the files !
is there any one have an idea ?

actually, you didn't upgrade the clamav, you just installed the new version in a different location.



do a
ps ax | grep clam

you shoud see a line with /usr/sbin/clamd

(that is the old version)

clam 0.81 is installing in /usr/local/sbin/clam

exim is still using the old clam.

i was however able to make exim work with the new clamav, i'll try to post a step by step tutorial soon.

works great!
I follow the instructions and got it running as:
ClamAV 0.81/685/Wed Jan 26 17:08:24 2005

Cheers!

You should also install GMP (currently v4.1.4) before installing ClamAV. This allows ClamAV to verify the digital signatures of the virus updates.

[Stonemage]

This damn thing isnt working still... so is there a way to either fix it or remove it?

[Lestat]

Have a new write up on that jester.ro? I see what your saying...

[Lestat]

Nevermind found a better update for it. This seemed to work just fine.

Grab the source for clamav 0.82: http://voxel.dl.sourceforge.net/sour...av-0.82.tar.gz
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://internap.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/clamav/clamav-0.83.tar.gz
sed -i -e 's/AVV=0.82/AVV=0.83/' 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=0.83. Save it, exit, and run "./install"

Verify that 0.83 has been installed by running the following:

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

They should all report "ClamAV 0.83/700/Thu Feb 3 15:33:15 2005", run /usr/bin/freshclam to update.
