Hi folks,

Brand new debian box, brand new kav install with postfix.

Whats wrong?

May 13 15:03:36 kav4lms-filters[6917]: app [3041168304] INFO Passing message to scanner: /var/tmp//.kav4lms-oKyABW/tmp.KTRFpk
May 13 15:03:36 kav4lms-filters[6917]: app [3041168304] ERROR Error while requesting file processing: Connect error (local: /var/run/kav4lms/kavmd.sock): Generic error

and

/etc/init.d/kav4lms start
Starting up kav4lms daemon: kavmd...failed.

hi,
which Debian distro are you working with?
M

Those error messages in the log are caused by kavmd failure at start (the latest line you stated here).

kav4lms-filters attempt to connect to kavmd daemon which is down, so it's working socket does not exist or is not listened by the daemon, so they produce appropriate error in the log.
