clamav doesn't start

I've installed clamav and tried to start it through the rc.d script but it doesn't start.

It seems to be down to the line:

 if [ "$START_CLAMD" == "yes" ]; then

returning false. If I comment that line out it starts ok,

Starting clamav just from the command line (just running clamd) also works.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Have you edited /etc/conf.d/clamav?

Re: clamav doesn't start

In what way?

If you mean removing the Example line then yes, otherwise it wouldn't start from the command line.

/etc/conf.d/clamav, not /etc/clamav/clamd.conf.

Files in conf.d are configuration files for /etc/rc.d daemon scripts.
