File::Scan::ClamAV module version 1.91 installed but AvClamdPort not ready

So I've been having a lot of trouble getting ASSP installed and working properly on my new server mainly because CPAN has been fighting with me every step along the way. I finally managed to get the last CPAN module installed any I find this error:

Quote:
File::Scan::ClamAV module version 1.91 installed but AvClamdPort not ready, error: Cannot connect to unix socket '/var/run/clamav/clamd.ct': connect: No such file or directory;


I go to the directory and the file and permissions look good but then I noticed this...


Quote:

hostname:/var/run/clamav# ls -la
total 16
drwxr-xr-x 2 clamav root 4096 2010-12-06 01:04 .
drwxr-xr-x 14 root root 4096 2010-12-06 01:00 ..
srw-rw-rw- 1 clamav clamav 0 2010-12-06 00:50 clamd.ctl


Yes, there is an "L" at the end of the file, weird. So I searched everywhere for an answer, nothing. I checked in the clamd.conf file and it is in fact pointing to clamd.ctl but for some reason ASSP is looking for clamd.ct which doesn't exist. I was tempted to rename it but I figured it might break something else or cause upgrade issues in the future so here's a quick fix for anybody else who encounters this seemingly undocumented issue:

Code:

hostname:~# cd /var/run/clamav/
hostname:/var/run/clamav# ln -s clamd.ctl clamd.ct
hostname:/var/run/clamav# ls -la
total 16
drwxr-xr-x 2 clamav root 4096 2010-12-06 01:04 .
drwxr-xr-x 14 root root 4096 2010-12-06 01:00 ..
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2010-12-06 01:04 clamd.ct -> clamd.ctl
srw-rw-rw- 1 clamav clamav 0 2010-12-06 00:50 clamd.ctl


All set! :D

linux, tutorials, clamav
