I have similiar problem on WHM 11 server:

# ./freshclam
ClamAV update process started at Mon Aug 6 23:49:32 2007
LibClamAV Error: Wrote 0 instead of 512 (main.inc/main.ndb).

Did you install clamav your self or through WHM?

Did you recently upgrade to WHM 11, and if so, did you have any trouble with clamav before this?

I got new VPS with version 10 and autoupdate set to STABLE tree. I changed it to RELEASE tree so my WHM/cPanel was updated automatically to version 11. There were no errors.

ClamAV was not installed on version 10. I installed it after upgrade to version 11, via Plugins option in WHM. There is a checkbox "Install and keep updated" under clamavconnector plugin, that is how I installed it.

ClamAV is running, I can see catched emails in the log. Also manual scan initiated from cPanel works. It even updated the program from version 90.something to 91, like day or two after I installed it. But virus database updates are failing every day with the error I posted above.

@OP

Look at your database directory and check if there is .dbLock file, delete it and try to run update again.


@My problem

I tried to run freshclam update to another directory (/tmp), where no current Clamav files were present - update worked without any errors, even incremental update worked (I copied outdated database files to /tmp and ran freshclam on them).

When I delete current database files from ClamAV dir, update works - it downloads new database and notify clamd. But once they are there, update program is unable to work with them. However it does not have problem with creating temp directory, just with saving files into it. I really don't understand it. Permissions are ok, I tried to run it as root or as clamav user... Always same error message (see my first post).

Sorry for bump this up, but I found one reason of this error, added here to help someone else.

If you get some error like:

[[email protected] /]# freshclam
ClamAV update process started at Sun Sep 28 06:46:56 2008
getfile: Can't write 1448 bytes to /usr/share/clamav/clamav-bf2bd27fe72cb94b17e5724741764fb8
WARNING: Can't download main.cvd from database.clamav.net

Maybe user clamav is out of quota. Just dl main.cvd from direct link (to see link run freshclam -vv)

# cd /usr/share/clamav/
# wget http://database.clamav.net/main.cvd
# chown clamav:clamav main.cvd
If you got error (chown: changing ownership of `main.cvd': Disk quota exceeded), user clamav is out of quota. To see clamav quota:

# quota -u clamav

To edit clamav quota:

# edquota clamav

Disk quotas for user clamav (uid 32xxx):
Filesystem blocks soft hard inodes soft hard
/dev/simfs 18032 307200 307200 8 0 0

Change soft,hard values, it should be in KB (not sure), save.

# chown clamav:clamav main.cvd

Done? update clamav:

# freshclam
