I am having problems with ClamAv in the cPanel , I have been for some time receiving messages from the WHM monitor with the following message:

Code:
Notification :    The service “clamd” appears to be down.

Service Check Raw Output:
May 24 15:01:27 dominio.com systemd[1]: Starting clamd antivirus daemon...
May 24 15:01:54 dominio.com systemd[1]: clamd.service: control process exited, code=exited status=1
May 24 15:01:54 dominio.com systemd[1]: Failed to start clamd antivirus daemon.
May 24 15:01:54 dominio.com systemd[1]: Unit clamd.service entered failed state.
May 24 15:01:54 dominio.com systemd[1]: clamd.service failed.
I logged into the server and realized that is failing to start. I tried uninstalling and installing again did not solve the problem.
The problems is same as : The service “clamd” appears to be down.
Does anyone have a solution?

Hello,

Could you let us know of any output to /var/log/exim_mainlog when attempting to restart ClamAV?

Thank you.

Hi @cPanelMichael , thanks for the attention.
I believe it was update bug.
Fortunately I've been able to solve it, the solution was to uninstall the program, delete the residual data in /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/share/clamav/, reinstall, and restart the server.
