are you just running freshclam manually?
what are your permissions on /var/lib/clamav/ ?

Thank you very much for you answer the permission of the Var directory is 755 I think it's the default one.

I run the clamscan it shown it's out of the date. and then run the Freshclam I got the error above which i mention in my earlier message

please guide me if I did any wrong or how can I do it update??

thanks.

And you have ownership as clamupdate:clamupdate and NOT as root?
Code: [Select]
[root@srv]# ls -al /var/lib/clamav/
