clamd is stopped....
« on: April 27, 2017, 02:41:47 PM »
Hello,

Just installed CWP on a test server with Centos 6.9 and from the postfix_manager menu did a mail server rebuild with the ClamAV, Amavis & Spamassassin option. The rebuild seem to be stuck in a infinite loop. opened CWP Dashboard in a different window and found the following service had stopped:
ClamAV (red dot) clamd is stopped
Clamd for Amavisd  (red dot) clamd.amavisd (pid 9744) is running...

Restart Clam and get the following error:

Stopping Clam AntiVirus Daemon: [FAILED]
Starting Clam AntiVirus Daemon: ERROR: Can't get information about user clamav. [FAILED]

Has anyone had the same issue?

Seems clamd is trying to restart in a infinite loop.
Maybe is clashing with amavis trying to restart clamd too.
My solution was to stops clamd service at Dashboard.
Unfortunately, rebooting the server, needs to stops manually the clamd process.

Seeking the logs:

- same here - clamd is hammering away on close to 100%



Ok - found a solution here in the forum -  it solved the problem:

service clamd stop
rm -f /var/run/clamd.amavisd/clamd.sock
service clamd start
