Hi,

Please help - I am near desperation. I am trying to configure an Ubuntu 8.04.3 server on a Xen VPS that only has 128MB of RAM, it runs mysql pdns and postfix. I have tried to run clamav on it and everything is fine except for clamd. Is this because I have too little ram?

I have tried the package maintainers version and have now compiled and installed the latest version (0.95.3) from source both result in the same thing. When I run clamd it just hangs, the longer I leave it the more likely that I have to reboot the server to be able to have an ssh connection to it. The fact that it has behaved the same way on different versions tells me it's probably a ram issue. Is there any other way of running an anti-virus check on this little mail server without running clamd?

I can find nothing in the log files:


Fri Jan 22 19:25:26 2010 -> +++ Started at Fri Jan 22 19:25:25 2010
Fri Jan 22 19:25:26 2010 -> clamd daemon 0.95.3 (OS: linux-gnu, ARCH: x86_64, CPU: x86_64)
Fri Jan 22 19:25:26 2010 -> Log file size limit disabled.
Fri Jan 22 19:25:26 2010 -> Reading databases from /var/lib/clamav
Fri Jan 22 19:25:26 2010 -> Not loading PUA signatures.


I also find nothing unusual in syslog.


I really appreciate your help.

Regards
