[Resolved]Clamav: how to flush database
(1/1)
bmail:
Hello,
Since today, the last download of a clamav third party database (http://ftp.swin.edu.au/sanesecurity/jurlbl.ndb), Clamav do not want to start. This database seems not in good health ...
root@DBSecure:~ # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/clamav-clamd start
Starting clamav_clamd.
LibClamAV Error: Empty database file
LibClamAV Error: Can't load /var/db/clamav/jurlbla.ndb: Malformed database
LibClamAV Error: cli_loaddbdir(): error loading database /var/db/clamav/jurlbla.ndb
Thu Feb 13 11:00:21 2020 -> !Malformed database
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/clamav-clamd: WARNING: failed to start clamav_clamd
I tried to de-activate it within the list of additionnal signature, and restart clamav: it doesn't work.
Probably normal, as it concerns the download and refresh of database, not the calling of if in clamav.
Do you know how can I purge the database in order to restart clamav without this problemaic third party database ?
Just erase /var/db/clamav/jurlbla.ndb ?
Thanks a lot for any ideas !

hi,
It looks like it's an update issue.
WARNING: Local version: 0.102.1 Recommended version: 0.102.2

Hello Darksense,
Yes, I notice it, but it seems strange that's only concern one third party database ...
Previously, I never notice that an issue on a third party database could prevent clamav to start.
That' why I wonder how to disable the loading of jurlbla.ndb (or properly erase it) , in order to start clamav.
Best regards,
Bertrand

Ok, it works !
Just erasing without scruple jurlbla.ndb and unable it in signatures config, then restart clamav, then activate jurlbla.ndb and restart clamav.
Download is ok and clamav, even outdated, restart like a charm.
Probably an issue during downloading.
Thanks a lot for your advices.
Bertrand
