Topic: Problem with Clam antivirus

[skiguy09]

I recently installed clam antivirus on SME server v6 using the instructions at this link:

http://pagefault.org/howto/e-smith-antivirus.shtml

every 5 minutes I get this email:

grep: /var/log/amavis-ng/amavis-ng.log: No such file or directory
grep: /var/log/amavis-ng/amavis-ng.log: No such file or directory
grep: /var/log/amavis-ng/amavis-ng.log: No such file or directory

Any ideas on how to fix this??

anyone have any ideas?

To fix the amavis log issue run the following commands at the prompt:

mkdir /var/log/amavis-ng
chown qmailq:qmail /var/log/amavis-ng
chmod 755 /var/log/amavis-ng
touch /var/log/amavis-ng/amavis-ng.log
chown root:root /var/log/amavis-ng/amavis-ng.log
chmod 666 /var/log/amavis-ng/amavis-ng.log

The mrtg issue I would guess is related because there is no amavis log file to parse so it can't monitor.
