remove the manually installed part. It's rarely a good idea to have two
versions of the same software installed.

after that, use clamav installed by apt-get
(both debian and ubuntu should have newest version).

Try running /usr/local/bin/clamconf as root and post those results somewhere.  
That will tell you how clamd.conf and freshclam.conf are set.

clamd.conf.5 is the man page for clamd.conf and should be in 
/usr/local/share/man/man5/

clamd.conf might be in /usr/local/etc/

hi 
I have done both:compiling manually and by apt-grt install and I even install 
the graphic panel.
I do not have any clamd.conf but clamd.conf5
which there is not any DatabaseOwner entry in it !
in my passwd, I just have "clamav:x*::/var/lib/clamav:/bin/false"

Re: [clamav-users] No supported database files found

[Rob Sterenborg]

So there *is* a clamav user in /etc/passwd, which has /var/lib/clamav as home 
directory. It is probably configured by apt-get. I don't know where clamd.conf5 
comes from: the file is usually called clamd.conf.

Install from source or from apt-get, not both, so remove either one. If you 
remove the apt package, the clamav user will probably be removed and have to be 
created afterwards.

If you're new to all this I suggest you use the package from apt-get and go 
from there.

Re: [clamav-users] No supported database files found

[Rob Sterenborg]

I don't know what username you need to use.
- Check your freshclam.conf for the DatabaseOwner to know which username you 
need.
- Check your /etc/passwd file to make sure this username does not exist.
- If it doesn't exist, check if another username exist that has almost the same 
name and was meant for you to use.
- If still can't find such username, create it.
- If such username does exist, modify your freshclam.conf and/or clamd.conf to 
use this username.
- chown the directory and set permissions accordingly.
