Hi,
after fresh install I get this two errors. Is this normal work, or I must reinstall iRM?

Re: Clamav ERROR on Fresh install

If change in /etc/iRedMail-0.9.6/conf/clamav

from

export CLAMD_CONF='/etc/clamd.conf'
export CLAMD_LOGFILE='/var/log/clamav/clamd.log'
# CLAMD_BIND_HOST is configured in conf/global
export CLAMD_LOCAL_SOCKET='/tmp/clamd.socket'

export FRESHCLAM_CONF='/etc/freshclam.conf'
export FRESHCLAM_LOGFILE='/var/log/clamav/freshclam.log'
export FRESHCLAM_PID_FILE='/var/run/clamav/freshclam.pid'

to

export CLAMD_CONF='/etc/clamd.conf'
export CLAMD_LOGFILE='/var/log/clamd.log'
# CLAMD_BIND_HOST is configured in conf/global
export CLAMD_LOCAL_SOCKET='/tmp/clamd.socket'

export FRESHCLAM_CONF='/etc/freshclam.conf'
export FRESHCLAM_LOGFILE='/var/log/freshclam.log'
export FRESHCLAM_PID_FILE='/var/run/clamav/freshclam.pid'

Works fine

This is expected error during iRedMail installation. Because clamav service is not running, directory /var/log/clamav/ was not created yet. After you start clamav service (or reboot server -- this is expected right after iRedMail installation), it should be fine.

Re: Clamav ERROR on Fresh install

On previous installation who have same problem need do few commands:

mkdir /var/log/clamav
touch /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log
chown root:clamupdate /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log
chmod 664 /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log
freshclam -v
