2 problems

As stated before, the current version of the client software was built around Windows XP, and hasn’t been rebuilt or optimized for NT6. Things such as UAC, printer management, etc do throw it off from time to time.
If a C+ / C Sharp dev wants to donate some time to make the software play a bit nicer that would be awesome.
In it’s current form the client software is functional, just not robust.

I’ve setup 3 Fog 0.32 servers, and it installs clamav during the Ubuntu instal for Fog (at least it says it does). I have 3 Fog servers that all give the same error when trying to run the virus scan, “no supported database found”. I think it’s a glitch and I haven’t invested the time to fix it.
-
ok. I got clamav to work on my Fog 0.32 server. It might have been easier to get healthcare reform legislation passed in the US, but it’s done.
I had to add the PPA package source to apt, remove the old clamav on the server, install the new one from PPA. Expand the init.gz that fog uses, update the hosts and freshclam.conf files, and make symbolic links to the virus databases in the root of my web server. If anyone wants specifics, I’ll explain, but it’s quitting time and my butt hurts from working on this for 4 hours.

Nice, as a Linux/Fog n00b I would love some step-by-step / specifics if you have the time. If not that’s okay too, I’m sure I’ll figure it out from the post above. Thanks again.

I’ll wiki it and post when it’s done.

I’m in the same boat as Sk00t3r. I’ve been trying to hammer my way through making a FOG server, but as this is the first time I’ve ever used Linux, it’s been creating some problems for me. I have the majority of the server up and running with a master image, but getting ClamAV to work is still escaping me. Any luck with that wiki? I would really appreciate taking a look at what you have to say about it.
-
I started to edit the clamav wiki article, but it wasn’t flowing right so I am trying to figure it out. Too busy with end of the school year stuff at the moment, but be patient and I’ll have some specifics up near the end of May/beginning of June

No worries! I appreciate the help, and I look forward to seeing that article from you.

Hi chad-bisd,
I’m having the same problem, so I removed the clamav, installed from PPA. Still not working (as I though) so could you post in the very short way the steps:
- Expand the init.gz that fog uses
- update the hosts and freshclam.conf files
- make symbolic links to the virus databases in the root of my web server
so we can keep trying.
thanks

I have updated the WIKI article: [url]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Clamav[/url]
I need to get back to school and verify the steps I took, but it’s enough to get you on the right track.

That’s certainly enough to point in the right direction! Thanks again for all your help.

I guess Clamav version 0.97 on ubuntu 10.04 needs more investigation, I will try to install it using the manual method. cuz the source list doesn’t contain version 0.97 only 0.96!!!
-
Finally got it to work locally but will test it on clients soon
all I did was to update the source list after removing the old clamav
[LIST=1]
[]sudo nano /etc/apt/sourcelist.conf
[]add this line [COLOR=#0000ff]deb [url]http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-clamav/ppa/ubuntu[/url] maverick main[/COLOR]
[]then apt-get update
[]then apt-get install clamav
[]then configure /usr/local/etc/freshclam.conf
[]then run fresh clamav
[/LIST] -
for ubuntu 12.04 use
ppa:ubuntu-clamav/ppa
