      Hi together,

      I'm getting bad messages from my system log:

      Feb 16 22:44:40	havp[36891]: --- Initializing Clamd Socket Scanner
      Feb 16 22:44:40	havp[36891]: Running as user: havp, group: havp

      Feb 16 22:45:40	havp[36891]: Clamd: Could not connect to scanner! Scanner down?
      

      Can anybody help, please?

        I'm having similar problems for dansguardian package, too. No Content is being checked by clamAV.
        Does anybody can give me a hint where i could start searching for?

        ~maybe~ the problems with dansguardian could be the result of the problems i had before using havp. How can i remove clamav and all it's config by shell for a fresh dansguardian install (auto-depencies should reinstall it, right?)?

        I'm not firm with bsd commands - is it the common apt-get or what's running on here?

        Thanks in advance

          You can run pkg_delete (package name) to manually remove a package.  You can add a -f before the package name to force it regardless of dependecies if needed.

                Thanks very much - is pkg_list valid for listing installed Packages?

                    I believe so.  I don't have a system on hand to check right now, but you can try it.

                      Hi,
                      There is nothing running.
                      /var/run holds a large list, but clamd is missing.

                      Any Ideas?

                        Okay, one pkg_delete later… :-)
                        [2.0.2-RELEASE][admin@herakles.home]/root(2): ls -l /var/run/clamav
                        -> total 0

                        this is more than before. UNfortunately i cannot find any init.d folder, i would have tried restarting it manually.
                        Any Ideas?

                            Ah, interesting!
                            Got following message:

                            WARNING: Ignoring deprecated option MailFollowURLs at line 50
                            LibClamAV Error: cli_loaddb(): No supported database files found in /var/db/clamav

                            I'm currently trying to use the Update option. Hopefully it helps, but the last Update was even this night.

                            Update: In /var/db/clamav is only one file called mirrors.dat

                            Update 2: manually running 'freshclam -v', error filesystem full.
                            But…

                            there should be enough space left. Any Idea?

                              The file you are attempting to download (main.cvd) is 29 meg. Your /var filesystem has 28meg free. Hence your out of disk space error.

                              What sort of device are you installing to?

                              Never underestimate the power of human stupidity

                                It is a Watchguard Firebox, Embedded 4GB CF Card

                                Okay, I deleted rdd and now it was enough space for the main.cvd, it is still not enough for the daily.cvd.
                                Due to 1.5GB of RAM, i had the idea to use a tmpfs in RAM for storing the db. Including it in fstab and directly mounting /var/db/clamav to that ram-partition. 
                                However, it will be refreshed frequently, so a reboot won't be that bad.

                                Goal 1 Archieved: clamd is up and running. But DB Version is from 2011 :-(
