There is no need to reconfigure anything.

For those that are interested. This version of ClamAV has on access scanning available under OS X 10.5 and later. For more information please check the ClamAV website here -> http://www.clamav.net/lang/en/2012/03/21/on-access-scanning-for-os-x/

Apple released an update to Lion bringing it to version 10.7.3 and introduced a security update to Snow Leopard. If you followed the latest set of instructions where everything was located in /usr/local then these updates wouldn’t have affected you. However for all the people who are still on the original setup you will have been impacted as this security update installs and overwrites PHP and Postfix. The solution to this is still the same go into the source directory of the last installed version and run a “sudo make install” for PHP and Postfix, restart Apache and Postfix and everything is back in order again. You might also need to comment out the line:

inet_interfaces = localhost

from “/etc/postfix/main.cf”

Try to migrate as soon as possible to the new setup to save you from future problems with the next security update.

The funny thing is that when you read the content of the security update details you will see that if you followed our update strategy you will use more recent stuff for your web and mail server then is included in this update. Example: After the update you will have Apache 2.2.21 while we are on 2.2.22 and the buid in PHP will be updated to 5.3.8 while we are on 5.3.10. This proves my point that you are better of doing this kind of stuff yourself without waiting for Apple or someone else to provide you with the updates.

Here you don’t even need me, I only help in the testing and eventual problem fixing if something goes wrong…

Sorry for this late post, but it is by many things like a short holiday and illness…

Having a brand new installation running with Lion for a few weeks now on my new production machine and it’s running like a dream. Just installed the OS X update to 10.7.1, rebooted and had my fingers crossed as I had not rebooted the machine yet. After the reboot did a bunch of checks and everything was running fine. Indicating that the upgrade does not have any impact on our new setup (as was the intention of moving everything into /usr/local) which is great but also indicated that my installation from scratch went find as well and I had not missed any startup- script.

So feel free to upgrade and keep me posted of any issues you might find.
