Re: [clamav-users] Fw: Freshclam ERROR: Initialization error! WARNING: Ignoring deprecated option
Thanks for any consideration of the problem, but I found the solution. sudo freshclam command is used for updating your antivirus database, which cannot be run while another instance (auto update) is already running. Stop auto uptade process: sudo /etc/init.d/clamav-freshclam stop Run manual update: sudo freshclam Re-Start auto update process: sudo /etc/init.d/clamav-freshclam start I found this on: https://askubuntu.com/questions/880253/sudo-freshclam-not-working-error-cant-open-var-log-clamav-freshclam-log-in-a#880282 Thanks again. ‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐ On Friday, July 2nd, 2021 at 1:06 PM, TH123 wrote: >> Attn: Clamav-users >> >> I'm having a problem with freshclam. >> >> $ sudo freshclam >> WARNING: Ignoring deprecated option SafeBrowsing at >> /etc/clamav/freshclam.conf:22 >> ERROR: /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log is locked by another process >> ERROR: Problem with internal logger (UpdateLogFile = >> /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log). >> ERROR: initialize: libfreshclam init failed. >> ERROR: Initialization error! >> $ >> >> This happened after an OS update.
