Problem with ClamAV

Is clamd running?

Check to make sure that the clamd service is running. The ps aux command, piped to grep, should give you something like this:

Code:

# ps aux|grep -i clamd
root     11599  0.0  9.1 115948 93784 ?        Ssl  Apr08   1:10 /usr/sbin/clamd

If no clamd process is listed, try restarting clamd:

Code:

# /scripts/restartsrv_clamd
# ps aux|grep -i clamd

Are any errors displayed when you run these commands? Also, are any errors logged to /usr/local/cpanel/logs/error_log when you try to start a scan? You can use tail to watch the log while starting a scan:

Code:

# tail -f /usr/local/cpanel/logs/error_log

 

Dear Team,

I am trying to scan an account through ClamAV here it is:

Scanning:
... connecting to clamd service ...

It does not go further.

I use following "# ps aux|grep -i clamd" command from your this post.
After that following message appear:

root 8089 0.0 0.0 3996 748 pts/0 S+ 05:37 0:00 grep -i clamd

Then i try to restart it through following command:
# /scripts/restartsrv_clamd

Then following message came:
clamd: no process killed
clamd: no process killed

Please check and guide to set it as running.

Try reinstalling clamavconnector from WHM >> cPanel >> Manage Plugins >> select clamavconnector and at the bottom select Save.

 

Umer, I posted a checklist in another thread and it has almost always resolved the issue. You can check the post here. I hope it resolves your problem.
If you want to expedite this, you can open a ticket with cPanel support.

how can i solve this problem ???

 

Reinstall ClamAV

From the output provided, it appears that ClamAV was not installed completely. In Main >> Server Configuration >> Tweak Settings, check the value for The maximum memory a cPanel process can use before it is killed off (in megabytes). It is likely the default, 256. Change it to 512. Then, uninstall and reinstall ClamAV using Main >> cPanel >> Manage Plugins.

It should take much longer to install ClamAV this time, and it should work when the installation is finished.

The issue of the memory limit causing plugins not to install completely is known by our developers, and there is an internal bug report for this issue. There is no estimate for when this is corrected, but the workaround for now, if a plugin fails to install completely due to the memory limit, is to raise the limit to 512 or more.

If raising the limit and reinstalling ClamAV does not fix the problem on your server, please submit a ticket so that we may investigate directly, because it may be caused by a different problem.
