Default Can't connect to clamd through /var/run/clamav/clamd

hi

I have a newest ports tree update on my freeBSD 7.0
I've installed clamav from ports and after freshclam, I get the following WARNING message:
Code:
# freshclam

have you checked the configuration in your freshclam.conf? i believe this error might be caused by the value of NotifyClamd.

It's not an error, it's a warning, which can eb safely ignored.

As nadamson already pointed out, freshclam is trying to notify clamd that a new database is installed, so that clamd can reload it, if you don't have clamd running then it can't be notified (du'h).
