Hello,
the virus database of clam on AV is very outdated on terra master. The update function does not seem to work. Is there any way to trigger the definition update again ? Maybe via SSH or so ?
greetings
gretor.
P.S. The old forum posts from 2020 with the same problem didn't really help me.

Please refer to the following steps.
1.
Log in to the SSH terminal
2. Edit the freshclam.conf
3. Replace the contents of freshclam.conf with the following and save
Code: Select all
DatabaseDirectory /usr/local/share/clamav/
UpdateLogFile /var/log/freshclam.log
LogFileMaxSize 2M
PidFile /var/run/freshclam.pid
Checks 12
#DatabaseOwner clamav
DatabaseMirror db.local.clamav.net
DatabaseMirror db.ch.clamav.net
DatabaseMirror db.cn.clamav.net
DatabaseMirror db.jp.clamav.net
DatabaseMirror db.us.clamav.net
DatabaseMirror db.uk.clamav.net
DatabaseMirror database.clamav.net
4.
If it doesn't work, you can wait for the update, which will be updated recently.

Can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong as ClamAV still doesnt want to update even though I have done what was said? Do I need to reboot before running the freshclam --user=root command?

That version is End of Life & blocked from updating:

One would need to independently build a newer tpk for installation, since Terra-Master has not kept their official package, from their integrated repository, current.
