Updating Endian to use ClamAV 0.91.2

[Guest]

[euser4life]

Here is another one that I use when looking for updates....

Mike Tremaine over at http://www.stellarcore.net/downloads/efw2-updates/

Is always faithful in packaging together updates for us noobs... Thank you sir, your efforts are much appreciated.

Also before you update make sure that you make a backup the old /etc/init.d/clamd file and copy it back after installation of 0.91.1 because this file isn't included in Mike's build.

(** I have updated Endian 2.1.2 with this rpm for clamav 0.91.1 but not 0.91.2 yet)
(*** The new version speeds up the amount of time it would take when having to reboot endian or when having to save and restart proxy changes)

You will get errors if you just install it with rpm -i, you will need to do the following:

Backup init.d script:

cp /etc/init.d/clamd /tmp/

Stop Clamd:

/etc/init.d/clamd stop

Get the updated files, you can use WinSCP or scp to transfer the files:

http://www.stellarcore.net/downloads/efw2-updates/clamav-0.91.2-0.endian5.i386.rpm
http://www.stellarcore.net/downloads/efw2-updates/clamav-db-0.91.2-0.endian5.i386.rpm
 

ClamAV will give an error if you only clamav-0.91.2-0.endian5.i386.rpm it needs the clamav-db package:

rpm -i --replacefiles clamav-db-0.91.2-0.endian5.i386.rpm

The replace files option will extract the new files other wise you will get an error like this

rpm -i clamav-0.91.2-0.endian5.i386.rpm
        file /etc/clamav/clamd.conf from install of clamav-0.91.2-0.endian5 conflicts with file from package clamav-0.90.1-0.endian12
        file /etc/clamav/freshclam.conf from install of clamav-0.91.2-0.endian5 conflicts with file from package clamav-0.90.1-0.endian12
        file /usr/bin/clamdscan from install of clamav-0.91.2-0.endian5 conflicts with file from package clamav-0.90.1-0.endian12
        file /usr/bin/clamscan from install of clamav-0.91.2-0.endian5 conflicts with file from package clamav-0.90.1-0.endian12
        file /usr/bin/freshclam from install of clamav-0.91.2-0.endian5 conflicts with file from package clamav-0.90.1-0.endian12
        file /usr/lib/libclamav.so from install of clamav-0.91.2-0.endian5 conflicts with file from package clamav-0.90.1-0.endian12
        file /usr/lib/libclamav.so.2 from install of clamav-0.91.2-0.endian5 conflicts with file from package clamav-0.90.1-0.endian12
        file /usr/sbin/clamd from install of clamav-0.91.2-0.endian5 conflicts with file from package clamav-0.90.1-0.endian12
        file /var/log/clamav/clamd.log from install of clamav-0.91.2-0.endian5 conflicts with file from package clamav-0.90.1-0.endian12

After this:

rpm -i --replacefiles clamav-0.91.2-0.endian5.i386.rpm

That should be it, now we copy the clamd script back to /etc/init.d/

cp /tmp/clamd  /etc/init.d/clamd

Start ClamAV again:

/etc/init.d/clamd start

I just installed it and it worked.

I followed the instructions EXCEPT that the I could not find the same rpm files.  I did find even newer versions (0.93).  Followed the instructions, didn't get any error messages - until ....

/etc/init.d/clamd start                         [failed]

Help please!

I'd followed Bhai's instructions on my endian 2.1 with no sweat. A little exception on:

/etc/clamav/clamd.conf

where I had to add bunch of boolean value, "yes" without the quotation marks to a few lines in the configurations files.

Otherwise, it was smooth ride.

my two cents...

I did the same thing, you need to make a  changes to the clamd.conf file
/etc/clamav/clamd.conf.

Comment out the lines that read:
MailMaxRecursion
ArchiveMaxFileSize
ArchiveMaxRecursion
ArchiveMaxFiles         
ArchiveMaxCompressionRatio
ArchiveBlockEncrypted
These options have been removed
* clamd:
    - NEW CONFIG FILE OPTIONS: MaxScanSize, MaxFileSize, MaxRecursion, MaxFiles
    - ** THE FOLLOWING OPTIONS ARE NO LONGER SUPPORTED **: MailMaxRecursion,
      ArchiveMaxFileSize, ArchiveMaxRecursion, ArchiveMaxFiles,
      ArchiveMaxCompressionRatio, ArchiveBlockMax

Then jump over to your log directory /var/log/clamav
and
chmod and add rw access for everyone to clamd.log
