CLAMAV NOT RUNNING? Possible Solution

[William Case]

Hi Javier or anyone else.

I still can't get clamd running even after your helpful suggestions.

freshclam works
clamscan works

[root ~]# clamdscan
ERROR: Clamd is not configured properly.

[root ~]# service clamd start
clamd: unrecognized service

ls: /var/log/campav: No such file or directory
Am I supposed to create a campav directory in /var/log or does clamav do
it?

Nothing.  clamav.log doesn't exist.  Message and mail are silent.

Done.  No /etc/clamav but there is a /etc/clamd.d -- created link there.

All help greatly received.  I haven't felt so frustrated since I first 
installed Red Hat 7.0.
