ClamAV stopped working with ClamAV Module ERROR:: Could not loaddatabases from /var/clamav

[Rick Cooper]

Bear in mind this same error will occur during the creation of the initial
object and if anything changed in the exports part of the perl module all
manner of issues can occur. That is why Julian finally agreed to include the
clamd code after having asked so many times, anything changes in certain
internal parts of libclamav and the clamav module is broken until the
maintainer gets around to modifying the constants imports and functions

Switch to clamd and you will likely have no issue and use a lot fewer
resources

Hi list!

It seems ClamAV got updated on my CentOS 5.x machine but since the update, 
it stopped working.

I see this error from the /var/log/maillog:
MailScanner[16618]: MailScanner E-Mail Virus  Scanner version 4.84.6

MailScanner[16618]: ClamAV Module ERROR:: Could not load databases from
/var/clamav

I checked /var/clamav it looks ok, also wiped out the databases there and 
then ren freshclam but no luck. Permissions also seem to be ok

Ideas anyone?
