HOWTO: Upgrade layer1 MailScanner

**hostseeker** · 03-08-2004 08:00 PM

Thank you!

It appears my upgrade and search and replace didn't go right at all.

Is there a unix command that I could use for search and replace in SSHl for the entire mailscanner directory for the occurances of Sr where it is case sensitive?

It seems instead of /usr/ it came our Sr/ which I know I probably caused by hitting the wrong keys.

Also in the virus.scanners.conf file somehow the last colum ended up with /u/usr instead of just /usr, but I have already fixed that.

Thanks!

Are you sure its only that ? Well i recommend you to reinstall it. Probably while you are at it, just follow instructions at http://forums.cpanel.net/showthread.php?threadid=20412 . I have posted a complete howto to update clam+mailscanner installed from layer1. It would be better to go that way to avoid any loose ends left.

anand,

Thank you for your help.

I was looking at your post earlier before I attempted the upgrade, but your post looked like it was only for clamav and not for both clam. Plus that thread was 5 pages long and I couldn't figure out what to follow as each page had modified instructions.

The instructions I followed were for both Mailscanner and Clamav. I am sure I just messed up somehow and hit the wrong key and ended up replacing some text wrong.

I think I have most all of it corrected, but just wanted to be sure.

To be absolutely sure I guess I would need to completely uninstall Mailscanner and Clamav but I really don't know how to do that either, LOL.

I learn more every day but it seems like this learning process takes forever, I am glad people are patient!

Thx. My post was first infact for clam only. Later i thought of doing mailscanner also. Let me guide you.

Btw to uninstall, just go in the directory where you untarred the mailscanner installation from layer1. Run ./uninstall. It will do everything for you.

Go to this post

http://forums.cpanel.net/showthread....9110#post99110

Find this "New mailscanner 4.28.5-2 and clam 0.67-1 for FRESH BOXES ONLY".

That post will tell you how to update your clam and mailscanner using the layer1 installation itself.

Incase you get in trouble, PM me your server info, i will help fix it.

If you need my help, i wud be online for next 30m to 1hr max.

Thanks, it seems to be working now so I think I will leave well enough alone.

It seems that Mailscanner upgraded to 4.28.5 however ClamAV is still 0.60

I think I will just leave it that way for now, as I was unable to get email at all for a couple of yours while the files and paths were screwed up.

You could follow my howto to update clam.

I upgraded successfully, but it doesn't want to use clamavmodule. It simply refuses to deliver messages. If I change it back to clamav it starts working again. How can I find out why it doesn't like clamavmodule?

Yes, Mail::ClamAV is installed.

Okay I will! Is it the original post in the 5 page thread or is there an updated post?

It it matters I am running RH Enterprise 3 with the latest kernel.

Yes its in that thread only. If you read it, you will surely find the post which says CLAM only update.

Casey could you just explain this ? I am confused. This question is pointed to my howto or ... Sorry.

I guess I had an attack of newbiness. I mean for the virus scanning option in MailScanner.conf.
...Not necessarily anything to do with the howto.

Okay I did the Clam AV update and how have 0.67-1

The only difference for me was that existing clamscan 0.60 was located at /usr/bin/clamscan and not /usr/bin/local/clamscan

Perhaps because I have RHE? Anyway, I renamed clamscan to clamscanold before I did the make install and it worked fine.

Thank you anand!
