« on: October 06, 2003, 09:32:32 PM »
Hello, I read that ClamAV + Amavis-ng it's a good solution to have the system clean of virus.

I try to install it, but when i try to start it, /etc/init.d/clamd start, it have an error and Failed the start process, the message is
Error Initializing the Data Base (or similar)

I folow the steps in the How To from pagefault.org (a very good Howto, thanks)
Anybody can help me?, Thanks.

Try this pagefault inspired howto http://www.sme.swerts-knudsen.dk/ It worked better for me than the pagefault version. Not that pagefault isn't good but it isn't Jan-proof ;-)

OK hopes this helps.

Btw you may have to uninstall some of the files you've installed before you use this howto. Some slight differences in versions may occur.

Hi,

I use ClamAV without any problems, but I purchased Stephen Noble's  Antivirus Panel, which sits nicely in the SME manager. And It works on SME 6b3 perfectly!!

You can buy it from www.dungog.net


Kind regards,
Rob.

Thanks, I go uninstall it and begin from top.

I hope that with rpm -e ,  the previos install removes well.

I have installed more than two times following the how to of pagefault.org,
 and it works good,

 Just follow the instructions step by step, before installing Clamav
 or Amavis-ng  make sure you have installed all required rpms, which
 list is in the same how to.

 Go for it
