CLAMAV not updating

[wharfratjoe]

CLAMAV doesnt seem to be updating automatically (i will add more mirror databases to the freshclam.conf file today) I am at version 809 and the virus definition database has been updated to version 813.

Now that I ran it manually I am uptodate:

C:\clamav-devel\bin>freshclam.exe
ClamAV update process started at Thu Apr 7 05:44:22 2005
main.cvd is up to date (version: 30, sigs: 31086, f-level: 4, builder: tkojm)
Downloading daily.cvd [*]
daily.cvd updated (version: 813, sigs: 1493, f-level: 4, builder: trog)
Database updated (32579 signatures) from database.clamav.net (IP: 206.58.251.131
)
Clamd successfully notified about the update.

Verified it wihin the control panel as well:
ClamAV devel-20050323/813/Thu Apr 7 03:20:51 2005

i also setup the freshclam.pid (process) within in the freshclam.conf file to run seperatley than inside of the clamd.pid process to test this

If I am missing something for auto update please let me know. I made no changes to either the clamd.conf or freshclam.conf files.

Thanks
Joe

now i am getting this error:

Running task: C:\clamav-devel\bin\freshclam.exe
Started: Thursday, April 07, 2005 3:00:15 PM
Task output:
ERROR: Can't open /cygdrive/c/clamav-devel/log/freshclam.log in append mode (check permissions!).

Task error output:
ERROR: Problem with internal logger.

Ended: Thursday, April 07, 2005 3:00:15 PM with code (1)

I am guessing beause the log file is being used by another process. Is there anyway around this?

This is a bug in windows ClamAV implementation. Open in windows explorer c:\clamav-devel and set inherit rights to log directory and children.

i added the plesk admin read /exec and the psaserv read/exec and the emails are coming in correct now. Thanks

I applied psaserv to c:\clam-devel with

Read & Excute
List Folder Content
Read
Write

as well as changed pasadm and psacln to have the same permission as above, and ticked "Allow inheritable...." in Advanced.

But I am still having these errors,

ERROR: Can't open /cygdrive/c/clamav-devel/log/freshclam.log in append mode (check permissions!).
ERROR: Problem with internal logger.


What have I missed? Thank you.

 

[wharfratjoe]

my permissions are the following:

administrators and system - full control
psaserv - write

do not allow inheritable from parent to propogate

check the replace permissions on child objects.

this is working for me.

hope this helps,
Joe
