file uploads with mod-security & clamav

[tsmaudio]

Hi Falko

I have not had much luck with adding in the clamscan variables, it seems to cause an error when it trys to launch the script.

While testing and waiting for files to upload.....I have been reading the mod security manual in more detail and I have noticed a line that says there is a hard limit of 1G for post payload scanning, which i missed before. I started testing again without scanning for viruses and mod security is indeed rejecting files over 1G.

It seems i have more problems than I thought, sorry!

Is it possible for mod security to only post scan up to 1G but still let pass up to 2G files, if a clever rule was written (can anyone help with that)


I have read your recent howto on scanning files on upload using clamav, but you specify platforms and Federo Core 6 is not one of them. Is there a reason for that as this might be the best way to go.

Thanks again
Tony

Yes, that package is available only for Debian and Ubuntu.
But this is a similar library that might work for you: http://trickie.org/code/phplibclamav.php

If not, you can still invoke ClamAV with PHP's exec() function.

Thanks Falko again for your help
I will try that instead.

Cheers
