no, you should not run freshclam manually and let the system cron jobs do
that instead.

under ubuntu, you should run "chown -R clamav: /var/lib/clamav"

you should not run freshclam under root user. You should keep it for
freshclam daemon. This way you can prevent the aemon from running properly,
because of permission problems.

Thank you for your response.

When I run freshclamwithout user I got:
"Can't create temporary directory /var/lib/clamav/tmp Hint: The database
directory must be writable for UID 1000 or GID 1000"

I wonder if this is the same issue that was mentioned a week or two
ago on the list, where I think (from a very imperfect memory) manually
running freshclam fails to delete the 'tmp' directory after running,
which causes a later automated attempt to create it to fail (because
the attempt is coded poorly), but running freshclam as a daemon does
delete it, so a later attempt succeeds?

Perhaps you could try deleting the 'tmp' directory.

If this is the issue, I believe there's a ticket to fix it already.

Hi Gary

Many thanks and sorry, I may not have explained fully

We do not run or test using root. It is always run as clamav and is integrated 
into a hosting control panel. So is very easy to stop start restart as correct 
user (clamav)

Only sys admins has access to full server which we are 

Thank you so much for your help, it is appreciated 

Many thanks

Try stopping all of the clamav daemons, have a cup of tea, and re-start

Best to create a separate user such as 'clamav' for this stuff.

If you enable debug logging you may see more helpful information.
When I see (28) it seems to mean that a timeout has been reached.
Perhaps you can increase the two timeouts in the freshclam daemon
configuration (and I suggest that you then restart the daemon).

The timeouts provided by default are I believe too short, I use 1800 seconds
and 600 seconds:

root@pi4b302:~# grep -i timeout /etc/mail/clamav/freshclam.conf
ConnectTimeout 600 ReceiveTimeout 1800

(Yes, this is ClamAV running on a Raspberry Pi4B. :)

>> try running 'https://database.clamav.net/daily.cvd' in /tmp

I think that should read something like

"try running 'wget https://database.clamav.net/daily.cvd'"

I do not understand these symptoms.  What timeouts are you using?
(See below.)

Best to create a separate user such as 'clamav' for this stuff.

if centos uses different user for freshclam updates as debian (and
presumably ubuntu), you may cause the issue by touching the files.

note that updates seem switched from http to https, so you may need clamav
to access https too (and fir possible intercepting proxy issues).



If this email I’m sending appears on the list emails, I will email again with 
debug trial and show all rights/permissions are correct on the folders

you should not run freshclam under root user. You should keep it for
freshclam daemon. This way you can prevent the aemon from running properly,
because of permission problems.

try running 'https://database.clamav.net/daily.cvd' in /tmp

Hi

We see this failure to update on both Centros 6 and 7

If you stop and start fresh clam or touch the files, the issue goes away for a 
few days

If this email I’m sending appears on the list emails, I will email again with

Many thanks

[clamav-users] Problem to update virus database

[Tomasz Mejer via clamav-users]

Hi.

I have installed ClamAV on my Ubuntu 16.04 LTS machine. I can't update
virus database update.
When I run:

sudo freshclam

i got:
"Download failed (28)
"getcvd: Can't download daily.cvd from https://database.clamav.net/daily.cvd
Thu Jan 23 16:54:54 2020 -> Trying again in 5 secs.."

Can you help me to solve this issue?

Best Regards: Tomasz
