The service “clamd” appears to be down.

I'm getting emails about this non stop. Service Name clamd Service Status failed Notification The service "clamd" appears to be down. Service Check Method The system"s command to check or to restart this service failed. Number of Restart Attempts 167 Service Check Raw Output (XID a25nrv) The "clamd" service is down. The subprocess "/usr/local/cpanel/scripts/restartsrv_clamd" reported error number 255 when it ended. Startup Log LibClamAV Warning: Detected duplicate databases /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/share/clamav/bytecode.cld and /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/share/clamav/bytecode.cvd. The /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/share/clamav/bytecode.cld database is older and will not be loaded, you should manually remove it from the database directory. I've tried restarted the entire server gracefully. I've tried restarted the ClamAV service. This is my first experience with WHM and i have minor experience with cPanel. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Hello, You could move the duplicate database to another location with commands like this: mkdir /root/clamav-backup mv /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/share/clamav/bytecode.cld /root/clamav-backup/
    Then, check for any error messages when running the following commands: /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/freshclam /scripts/restartsrv_clamd
    Thank you.

    I moved the backup and did both of those commands. Here's what I got. /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/freshclam ClamAV update process started at Fri Mar 2 08:33:35 2018 WARNING: Your ClamAV installation is OUTDATED!

    Hello, Could you let us know of any output related to ClamAV in /var/log/exim_mainlog or /var/log/chkservd.log when a restart is attempted? Thank you.

    Hi @mramos, Can you confirm the exact issue you are facing? For instance, what appears in the "Startup Log" section in the ClamAV service failure notifications you receive? Thank you.
