[clamav-users] Error (Cannot connect to unix socket '/var/lib/clamav/clamd.socket': connect: No such file or directory)

[Tobi]

Hi Chris

sorry I was not clear enough. I did not mean to start the service via systemd but to call like

sudo /usr/sbin/clamd -c /path/to/config

and see then if the socket has been created in expected location.

Cheers

tobi
