Getting ClamAV Daemon working in Ubuntu 18.04

Probably late, but i just fixed this issue on my server (debian), the clamav-daemon.service file need to have JoinsNamespaceOf=apache2.service on the [Unit] and PrivateTmp=true on the [Service] , like this:

[Unit]
...
JoinsNamespaceOf=apache2.service
[Service]
...
PrivateTmp=true 
The apache2 file just need to have the PrivateTmp=true. Do a  systemd daemon-reload after editing the systemd files and restart the clamav-daemon.

Thank you for your contribution. Not too late I'm afraid. Still not working (on Ubuntu 18.04)

I followed your suggestion and had most of the settings already. I just needed to add PrivateTmp=true in the [Service]-section from /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/clamav-daemon.service


Reloading the systemd daemon on Ubuntu is with systemctl daemon-reload


But I still get the same reading error on /tmp when using the daemon in stead of command line. Command line performance is awfull.

Hi,

I upgraded to php-7.4 via PPA and my problem with clamAV is gone. Moreover, even performance seems better.

Thank you so much for this. It solved the issue for me on Ubuntu 20.04. Repeating for posterity:





Edit the clamav start up file


sudo nano  /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/clamav-daemon.service


Add to the end of the correct sections



[Unit]
...
JoinsNamespaceOf=apache2.service

[Service]
...
PrivateTmp=true




Restart services


sudo systemctl daemon-reload


sudo systemctl restart clamav-daemon.service
