WAF - Antivirus not working

I can no longer use Filtering->Antivirus, Single Scan, Uploads  in any of my WAF Firewall Profiles. I get the following message on all webpages when I try to access any of the websites:

 

...

Bad Request

Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.

Error Reason

The request was blocked because an uploaded file contains a virus (daemon connection problem).

Below is what I see in the WAF log:

I'm not sure if the last update caused this or not but it used to work. I rebooted the Sophos box but that did not help.

What does the log indicate and what should I check next?

  • Hi,

     

    it seems that the virus scanner is not responding. It might help if you switch the engine from Sophos to Avira under Management > System Settings > Scan Settings.

    You can also have a look into /var/log/fallback.log if there are any error messages regarding AV (internally called cssd).

     

    Best,

     Sabine

  • I already tried switching from Sophos to Avira. Got the same results.

     

    Here is what I see in the fallback.log:

  • That's the reverseproxy.log. ;-)

    I'm not sure how that happened since  'fallback.log' and 'reverseproxy.log' are not even close enough to one another in the file list for me to select the wrong one. Strange...

    Currently, I do not see any errors in the 'fallback.log'. I switched to Avira, again, and rebooted the box but that made no difference. I switched back to Sophos and that made no difference. I rebooted the box a second time and now it's working.
