When attempting to upload a file via the file manager in cpanel this error is received: Virus Detected; File not Uploaded! (Clamd is not configured properly.) While I have no idea why it would attempt to use clamd when uploading a file, I attempted to look further. One of the things I tried was a restart of exim since I know that that will restart clamd. That is when I receive this error: Starting clamd: ERROR: Please define server type (local and/or TCP). From there I attempted to look at the clamd.conf file which only has the following line in it: FixStaleSocket yes .

I have no idea where to specify server type and need some help.

Hmmm. Tough one here...

Do you need clamd on at all?

Well what I do know is that clamd was working fine, before last Monday or Tuesday. I am not even sure why it is not working correctly now other than an cpanel update which wasn't complete or something on that line. As for whether or not I need it, my understanding is that it is standardly run with exim.

Well, yeah. As you may know, since cPanel releases a new update very often, problems arise often.

Did you try /scripts/upcp in SSH? Did that fix it?

There is a cron set to run that script nightly, but I will run it again just to make sure. I'll get back later if that has or has not fixed the issue. I suspect that since it does run nightly and the clamd was still down when I restart exim (for another reason) a little bit ago it has not yet been resolved.

Alright, the update just finished and I attempted to restart exim again. I still receive the: Starting clamd: ERROR: Please define server type (local and/or TCP). error when doing so. Any idea where to define that in the configuration so it will work correctly again?

Ok, its mainly due to the clamavconnector Addon module installed.

Uninstall it from WHM -> Addon module section and install it back.

This did fix the issue for me. Trying to find the config changes.
