Re: [clamav-users] freshclam errors

[Dieter Raith]

Mein Server wurde zwangsmigriert Vserver ---> Cloudserver.
Ich habe 2 CPUs, 2 GB Ram und 50 GB Disk. Ich zahle auch € 6,90 + MWSt.
Den "rescale" Hinweis habe ich auch gelesen, will aber sicher sein,
daß das keine Probleme  macht. Würde  dann auf einen CX31 upgraden.
Vielen Dank trotzdem für den Hinweis. Werde am Mo mit Hetzner reden.

Since you wrote you currently have 2 GB RAM, I am guessing that you are
using a Hetzner CX11 cloud server? In that case, you can simply use the
"Rescale" option (see https://console.hetzner.cloud/projects) to upgrade
to a CX21 (4 GB) or CX31 (8 GB). This only takes a few minutes, and the
existing installation remains intact.

Thank You all for Your suggestions. I will migrade to a more powerfull 
Cloud server
with 8 GB ram and also provide some cache. I sent a question to my 
provider (Hetzner),
if the can do it easily. I do not know what virtualisation software they 
use.

Add swap, 4 or 8 gig.

If it's a VM, give it 4 or 8 gig of memory, too, or upgrade the system

Re: [clamav-users] Freshclam errors after MacOS Catalina update

[Micah Snyder (micasnyd) via clamav-users]

If your clamav instance is installed to /opt/local, then your freshclam.conf is 
probably in /opt/local/etc/freshclam.conf

Edit the freshclam.conf file and set the "UpdateLogFile" option to a filepath 
that your user is allowed to write to. 

I haven't had this particular issue on my Catalina test machine or personal 
laptop, but I also haven't done very thorough tests to investigate if we need 
to change default options or add logic to request permissions in macOS 
Catalina.  It's possible that we may need to make some adjustments as Apple 
continues to try to lockdown directory access in macOS.

That doesn't look like any mirror site I've ever seen listed, but then they

Are you located in or close to Tanzania? 

What do you get with the following Command?

[clamav-users] Freshclam Errors - Deprecated version?

[TAGSIT QAF]

Relative newbie with brand new install. I manually downloaded the latest
version of ClamAV directly from the site so I'm reasonably sure it
shouldn't be deprecated, yet I'm getting these errors:


etc/cron.daily/freshclam:

ERROR: Can't get information about db.# tz zone descriptions (deprecated
version).

ERROR: getpatch: Can't download daily-22421.cdiff from db.# tz zone
descriptions (deprecated version).

ERROR: Can't get information about db.# tz zone descriptions (deprecated
version).ERROR: Can't download daily.cvd from db.# tz zone descriptions
(deprecated version).

Any help would be appreciated. TAG

only went back a few months. If' it's already been discussed, can you

[Clamav-users] Freshclam errors

[DBS Labs]

I just installed ClamAV-0.91.2 on a Redhat EL 4 server for testing.  There were 
no errors during the install.
 
I then edited the clamd and freshclam configuration files because our system is 
behind a firewall and I have to use a proxy server.
 
When I run freshclam I get these error messages -
ClamAV update process started at Wed Sep 12 09:38:19 2007

[Clamav-users] Freshclam errors

[Doug Hubbard]

I am having issues trying to update my AV definitions. (running 0.88.7)
Whenever I run freshclam I get the following output (the IP listed will 
vary according to the DNS return)


ERROR: Error while reading database from db.us.clamav.net

Usually building from source produces all the files that are needed for
the -devel rpm anyway, the rpm build process is what separates them into
the binary rpm and the development files.

If you installed gmp from source then you probably have the necessary
files already.  Check for gmp.h in /usr/include/ (maybe
/usr/local/include/  maybe somewhere else).  You will need to rebuild
clam.  (make clean; ./configure; make; make install)

I had the devel files; problem was I needed to set env vars for libs,
headers. Once I did that it compiled ok.

Now we're happily exterminating viruses 8^)

Thanks all.

Depending on your OS and how you installed clam you may need to install
the gmp-devel package and configure; make; make install clam again.

freshclam to update the virus signatures. I've set it up as a cron job, running 
as root with the command "/usr/local/bin/freshclam --quiet -l

messages:

Any help would be appreciated.
