Service Error
        The âclamdâ

Startup Log
        Starting Clam AntiVirus Daemon: ERROR: TCP: bind() error when trying to listen on [127.0.0.1]:3310: Address already in use

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

I have a problem with clamd service, I try with

# /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/restartsrv_clamd

but get this error:

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

ps auxf |grep clam |grep -v grep

If there is another instance, kill it first.

Eg.

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.

/scripts/restartsrv_clamd

How about the output from:

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.

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.
