Question Plesk E-Mail Security | Failed to start clamd scanner (amavisd) daemon

M

Michael.P

New Pleskian
Server operating system version
AlmaLinux 9.5
Plesk version and microupdate number
Plesk Obsidian 18.0.66 Update 1
I have a freshly installed AlmaLinux server. The Mail Security extension can be installed, but does not work.
Amavis, Postfix, Dovecot run, but are disfunctional.
The config check function does not work.
There are no problems with my other server with AlmaLinux 8.9.

Does anyone know the problem and have a solution?

Thanks Michael

The error indicates there is a problem with the Clamav definition database.

Try to kill freshclam if it's running and manually start freshclam. The cron takes a random number that is passed to the sleep command in order to prevent DB servers from being hammered at the same time of day.
