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. That's right. If that doesn't sound like what I said, you need to think a bit more about what you're doing. -- 73, Ged. ___ clamav-users mailing list clamav-users@lists.clamav.net https://lists.clamav.net/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: https://github.com/vrtadmin/clamav-faq http://www.clamav.net/contact.html#ml
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.

Presumably you're not asking about the warning, but about the errors. Do you already have a freshclam daemon running? It would not be at all unusual for an OS would start one at boot. Use 'top' or 'ps' or whatever tool you're familiar with to check for the existence of a freshclam process. If you have one running already you can either let it do its job, or kill it and start another one. If that doesn't seem to be the problem let us know. See mail of mine to this list in the last day or so for a bit more about freshclam, or Read The Fine Manual. -- 73, Ged. ___ clamav-users mailing list clamav-users@lists.clamav.net https://lists.clamav.net/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: https://github.com/vrtadmin/clamav-faq http://www.clamav.net/contact.html#ml
