ClamAV Version

    Hello, I've moved this post into it's own thread. The warning message you have reported is not abnormal because the version of ClamAV published by cPanel is not yet at 0.99.2. While there's a newer version available, keep in mind the virus database itself is still updated through "freshclam". There's typically a delay between when ClamAV releases a new version, and when it's published by cPanel, as we have to put the new version through testing first. The new version is planned per CPANEL-6015, and I will update this thread with more information on the release of this new version as it becomes available. Thank you.

    @cPanelMichael It is almost a month since CLAMAV udpate fails in my server:

    Any ETA when this will be fixed?

    Hello, 1. The output you provided shows an error message that is unrelated to the version of ClamAV installed on your system: Can't connect to port 80 of host database.clamav.net (IP: 69.163.100.14)
    Can you verify if that hostname is accessible over port 80 from your server's command line? You could check this with a command such as:
    telnet database.clamav.net 80
    2. ClamAV 0.99.2 is available in cPanel 58:
    # rpm -qa | grep clam cpanel-clamav-virusdefs-0.99.2-1.cp1156.x86_64 cpanel-clamav-0.99.2-1.cp1156.x86_64
    cPanel 58 is currently available on the "Current" build tier. You can find more information on the release process at:

    Thanks a lot for answering back cPanelMichael and forgive me for answering so late. My WHM/cPanel version: 56.28 I checked out that port 80 is working, I checked all my LogWatchs and the example that I wrote in my post happens to be the only time that the port 80 was blocked, lol. I have checked the rpm and showed the following: root@server2 [~]# rpm -qa | grep clam cpanel-clamav-0.99-4.cp1156.x86_64 cpanel-clamav-virusdefs-0.99-4.cp1156.x86_64 My LogWatch is still showing the following (this is the excerpt from today's logwatch): --------------------- clam-update Begin ------------------------ Last ClamAV update process started at Sat Jul 30 04:20:36 2016 Last Status: WARNING: Your ClamAV installation is OUTDATED!

Best Regards, Sergio

    Hello, Yes, that output suggests no problems, other than the outdated version. The newer version is included with cPanel 58, as you mentioned. Thank you.
