ClamAV auto-update does not work

[Bdzzld]

Hi,

Although the tickbox "Install and Keep Updated" is checked in WHM, ClamAVconnector (cPanel->Addon modules) needs to be manually uninstalled and installed again to get it updated. Is this a known problem?

I'm using "WHM 10.8.0 cPanel 10.8.2-R119, CentOS 4.3 x86_64 - WHM X v3.1.0".

Thanks.

It auto-updates so long as you auto-update cpanel. If you have cpanel updates set to manual then it won't update the addon scripts automatically either. You don't have to uninstall it, by the way. Just press submit at the bottom of the screen again.

Hi Casey,

Thanks for the enlightment...
Any ideas why cPanel is still using an old version ?

Hi,

The problem is that cPanel is still offering version 0.88.3-1.7 and not yet the latest release.

Regards.

they cant just update it without first testing that it still works with clamavconnector, hence why they are a little behind.

Hi,

That's completely understandable. The update has only been out a day...
Last update it took cPanel more than a week to release the new version.

Edit : Have checked it via the Logwatch e-mails. It took them 25 days instead of "more than a week"!

 

[nickp666]

I do agree that the updates are a little slow at times, but at least you know by the time you get them they are reasonably stable

 

[Bdzzld]

...a little slow...

You can say that again... :D

Hope they will release an update sooner than the last one though, because of the discovered security(!) problems with previous releases...

clamav has been updated to 0.88.4

Thumbs up, cPanel, for the pretty quick update...
Just upgraded three servers...

cPanel has not yet updated the ClamAV component...
You'll have to remain patient untill they've updated the component... sometimes it takes a long time and sometimes within a few days... you may never know...
In the mean time your servers will be running a somewhat outdated antivirus program. If you do not want to wait, you 'll have to update it yourself manually...

Upgrade cpanel to R139 will upgrade clamav too

 

[allwebnow]

how do you check what version of clamav you have?

 

[Fernis]

At a shell prompt type:

clamd -V

That's a capital V

 

[Bdzzld]

or follow this path :

WHM -> cPanel -> Addon Modules

The 3rd box should show the following (right now) :

Name: clamavconnector 
Author: cPanel Inc.
Installed Version: 0.90-1.9.3
Version: 0.90-1.9.3
