clamd has failed. Contact your system administrator if the service does not automagically recover.

    Check your already running processes. See if clamd is already running (and possibly started by another user/system call).

    Code:
    ps auxf |grep clam |grep -v grep
    If there is another instance, kill it first.

    Eg.
    Code:
    root     29698  0.0  2.4 359024 202924 ?       Ssl  08:37   0:00 /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/clamd

kill -9 29698

    You should be able to then successfully restart it.

    Code:
    /scripts/restartsrv_clamd
Waiting for “clamd” to start ……waiting for “clamd” to initialize ……
…finished.

Startup Log
    Oct 21 08:43:30 localhost systemd[1]: Starting clamd antivirus daemon...
    Oct 21 08:43:41 localhost systemd[1]: Started clamd antivirus daemon.

clamd started successfully.

    How about the output from:
    Code:
    ps auxf |grep clam |grep -v grep
    Also, have you confirmed that clamav is installed?

    Another thing to check is make sure nothing else is listening (besides clam) on port 3310.
    Code:
    sudo netstat -tulpn |grep 3310

    I've seen this happen in the past when a third-party instance of ClamAV was installed on the system.

    Thank you.
