Clamav not working
« on: July 10, 2008, 01:39:03 AM »
Need Help plz

Ever since my sme had an update the server couldn't send and receive emails, and I discovered it was a problem with the Clamav, so I tried to reinstall it but nothing has work, the only think I could do so the email would work, was to disable the Clamav and now when I try to see the options of Clamv in the website manager of sme its saids it has a conflict. Now I considering to format the server. If anyone can help me I will be very thankfull.

What was the problem with clamav before you started fiddling? Where did you install clamav from after removing it?

Before all this trouble I tried to install Dansguardian, but it work find like a week. Then after a weekend all my users started to report they couldn't send or receive emails. Later I discovered that it was the Clamav, I search the web and find out that the problem comes with one of the SME updates. therefore I tried the steps showed in the contribs forums (which I can't find now) to solve it, but it didn't work. So I disable the Clamav and the emails stared to work. I had other things to do at work so I couldn't go on with the problem until now. Hope this helps.

No unfortunately it does not help as I have no idea what steps you have undertaken. In your first post you state you reinstalled clamav, you fail to answer the questions asked in my post and in your latest post you state you installed dansguardian and did something else mentioned in the forums, but are unable to state what you did or even give a global picture.

It does me, nor any other I think, any clues to go from. You should try to be as clear and precise as possible and give all details not only ones you assume relevant.

Once again, where did you install clamav from after you first removed it?

Then did you already try and remove dansguardian? What makes you assume it was a clamav related issue?

ok, all the installations Id try are:

1. Dungog-dansguardian from dungog Wiki.
2. Dansguardian from SME server, http://wiki.contribs.org/Dansguardian
3. Usermanager, http://dungog.net/wiki/Usermanager
4. The forum: Contribs.org > Contribs.org Forums > SME Server 7.x > Topic: There was an error sending your message: unable to send data - http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=37386.0
5. Spam and Virus Checking, http://www.bowe.id.au/michael/isp/webmail-server.htm - which I failed to install I have a command make problem.

And I couldn't uninstall Dansguardian and the Clamav, I haven't found how to do it I've just disable them. Hope this helps now but if not I'll have to format and reinstall the sme. But thanks very much for your time.

My guess is that this is the culprit... it is an instruction for a very ancient Linux release and certainly not for SME Server, easiest fix is to reinstall I guess.

I think trying to undo whatever "might" have worked from this; http://www.bowe.id.au/michael/isp/webmail-server.htm would be virtually impossible.

Please don't try those kinds of things with production servers unless you have a very high pain tolerance.

Thanks for your time and your disposition to help, but I think it's better to format and install the SME 7.3 again, it will take me a few Hours. Probably I install something I shouldn't had, when trying to fix the Clamav. Any way I'll be more carefull next time.

good luck

I suggest you post your problems to the forums/bugtracker next time before wandering of into the unknown so some of the people here can help you solve your issue(s).
