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

    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.
