• Halloween is coming! To celebrate the occasion, we dusted off a couple of old skins, and even created a brand new one (Pixel).
    To get into the festive spirit, install the Skins extension.
  • The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • The Plesk Mobile apps for iOS and Android and the Plesk Mobile Center extension have been deprecated, and are no longer available for new installations. In Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84, the Plesk Mobile Center extension will be removed from servers during the upgrade, and the Plesk Mobile apps will lose their server management features.
  • The Social Login extension has been deprecated and will be removed in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84. After that, it will no longer be possible to log in to Plesk with a Google, Facebook, GitHub account, or with a passkey. Plesk usernames and passwords, as well as logging in with a WebPros Account, are not affected.

Question Can't create mirrors.dat in /var/lib/clamav

TRILOS new media

New Pleskian
Cron <root@$> /usr/share/clamav/freshclam-sleep > /dev/null
notifies:
ERROR: Can't create mirrors.dat in /var/lib/clamav
ERROR: Failed to save mirrors.dat!
ERROR: initialize: libfreshclam init failed.
ERROR: Initialization error!

and
$/usr/bin/freshclam --debug
shows:
ERROR: Can't create mirrors.dat in /var/lib/clamav
Hint: The database directory must be writable for UID 993 or GID 995
ERROR: Failed to save mirrors.dat!
WARNING: Failed to create a new mirrors.dat!
ERROR: initialize: libfreshclam init failed.
ERROR: Initialization error!

but
#ls -lan
clears up:
drwxr-xr-x 3 993 995 4096 Apr 25 04:48 clamav

Anyway, only Plesk Premium Antivirus is used on that server (Plesk Onyx Version 17.8.11 Update #95) and clamav should not even be installed or I don´t know which component uses clamav.
Any ideas on how to get rid of this or whether it´s wise remove clamav?
 
You could try to use strace to get a better idea of what happens there and why the syscall fails.
