clamd.amavisd fails to start

MattB · Mar 9, 2014

I have recently set up an ISPConfig server following the guide:
http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-centos-6.4-x86_64-apache2-dovecot-ispconfig-3-p4

I am unable to get amavisd to start, I am getting the following error:

/etc/init.d/clamd.amavisd start
Starting clamd.amavisd: [FAILED]

Is there some setup process missing from the guide which I need to action?

Here is my maillog:

Hi

Did you followed the guide word-to-word, as the errors show that you missed the dovecot, dovecot-sql.conf.

It is a general advice to follow the guide word-to-word

Please run:

ln -s /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf /etc/dovecot-sql.conf

and then restart dovecot.

Thanks, tried that and now I got the following error message when trying to start amavisd:

Starting clamd.amavisd: /etc/init.d/functions: line 188: 11200 Killed $cgroup $nice /bin/bash -c "$corelimit >/dev/null 2>&1 ; $*"
[FAILED]

Any ideas on this one? Thanks

Hi

Please follow like this way.

ln -s /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf /etc/dovecot-sql.conf
Click to expand...

If you have already linked the file then you can leave above part.

/etc/init.d/dovecot restart
Click to expand...

yum install amavisd-new spamassassin clamav clamd unzip bzip2 unrar perl-DBD-mysql
Click to expand...

& then

sa-update
chkconfig --levels 235 amavisd on
chkconfig --del clamd
chkconfig --levels 235 clamd.amavisd on
/usr/bin/freshclam
/etc/init.d/amavisd start
/etc/init.d/clamd.amavisd start
Click to expand...

Thanks, have done this but I am still getting the same error message!?

Do one trick,

I am giving you my /etc/init.d/functions file. Make a backup of your original file & replace the file with my file & then try to restart the services.

Unfortunately still the same error message is shown! :-/

jboud · Mar 14, 2014

Sorry false alarm there, it started normally after full system restart.

Hello all, I'm having the same problem after updating Debian 7 64bit.

/etc/init.d/clamav-daemon start
[FAIL] Starting ClamAV daemon: clamd failed!

My guess is the update is faulty and not something on our systems.

MattB · Mar 14, 2014

Could this be a memory issue as I only have 512mb of RAM?
