ERROR: Could not lookup : Servname not supported for ai_socktype #19

I was trying to run a scan using my node app, during the callback I got an error as follow

ERROR: Communication error

So I tried to run the scan manually, the error message is ERROR: Could not lookup : Servname not supported for ai_socktype

The command used for run is: clamdscan --no-summary --fdpass --config-file=/etc/clamav/clamd.conf /home/ubuntu/testing/up/testing12324

Anyone encountered this before? Thank you :)

Did you ever find a solution to this? I just recently started getting this error also. In the meantime I switched to using clamscan instead of clamdscan

The user who runs the node instance, must be in the unix group clamscan.

usermod --groups clamscan --append

This should do the trick

Starting clamav-daemon will help...
