ClamAV - Updating from versions lower than 0.90.0

The printable version is no longer supported and may have rendering errors. Please update your browser bookmarks and please use the default browser print function instead.

New Version of CLAMAV is out today - Ver 0.90.2

http://www.clamav.net/

ver 0.90.2 has some new features and as such, a couple of new option switches.

With the "Howto Update ClamAV" instructions in mind and also assuming you are upgrading from version 0.88.7. If upgrading from something else other than 0.88.7 , substitute your version for 0.88.7 mentioned below.

Also changed the following:

vi ../conf/clamd.conf.in

change option: LogTime to LogTime yes ( was just LogTime by itself before )

change option: LogSyslog to LogSyslog yes ( was just LogSyslog by itself before )


vi ../conf/freshclam.conf.in

Add option: ScriptedUpdates yes


cd /opt/zimbra/conf/

cp clamd.conf clamd.conf.org

cp freshclam.conf freshclam.conf.org

cp clamd.conf ../../clamav-0.90.2/etc/

cp freshclam.conf ../../clamav-0.90.2/etc/

(You just don't want to use clamav defaults but use your previous config with zimbra specific config stuff )

For the curious: cd /opt/zimbra/clamav-0.90.2/etc/

diff /opt/zimbra/conf/clamd.conf clamd.conf.org to see changes.


ScriptedUpdates means that clamav gets the just the virus DB changes and not the whole file each time.

Verify owner is zimbra:zimbra again.

Restart as zimbra user ( su zimbra ) zmcontrol stop then zmcontrol start and check the /opt/zimbra/log/clamd.log to see if all is right with the world again.

Test test test!
