Hi All

I have done allot of updates on a server this weekend. Most things seem to be working but I keep getting an error when I start amavisd.
Code:
mail amavis # /etc/init.d/amavisd start
 * Starting amavisd-new ...
Can't open PID file /var/amavis/amavisd.pid: Permission denied at /usr/sbin/amavisd line 17371.                                                        [ !! ]
 * ERROR: amavisd failed to start


I have added amavis to the clamav group and vice versa but that hasn't solved it.

Thanks in advance

The problem was amaviz needed to be owned by clamav and part of clamav group.
