Clamdscan in CentOS 7 for new Virtualmin Installs

I think I have resolved this with:

# touch /var/run/clamd.scan/clamd.sock
# chown clamscan: /var/run/clamd.scan/clamd.sock

then uncommented these lines in /etc/clamd.d/scan.conf:

 

 

sed -i -- 's/#PidFile \/var\/run\/clamd.scan\/clamd.pid/PidFile \/var\/run\/clamd.scan\/clamd.pid/g' /etc/clamd.d/scan.conf

 

sed -i -- 's/#LocalSocket \/var\/run\/clamd.scan\/clamd.sock/LocalSocket \/var\/run\/clamd.scan\/clamd.sock/g' /etc/clamd.d/scan.conf

 

systemctl restart [email protected]

I could test this with:

clamdscan -c /etc/clamd.d/scan.conf /etc/hosts

 

Give it a few moments try again, if not restart the service, ultimatley a restart may need to be

prior the fix:

ERROR: Could not lookup (null): Servname not supported for ai_socktype

after the fix:

/etc/hosts: OK

I hope it helps.
