[users@httpd] mod_vscan not working

[Rajiv Ranjan <Ra...@mindtree.com>]

Hi,

I am trying to integrate an antivirus (Scanner Deamon) to my apache server
(It is a proxy to my application server) using mod_vscan.

Scanner deamon is running on the proxy server at port 8127 and is able to
detect viruese if I scan files using telent at 8127.
I did a build and install of mod_vscan and added the following directive to
my httpd.conf .

<IfModule mod_vscan.c>
        SetOutputFilter VSCAN
        VScanHostname localhost
        VScanPort 8127
        VScanErrorDocument /home/rajiv/ScannerDeamon/virusMessage.html
</IfModule>

Now whenever I try to download an infected file from the server, I dont get
any error messages nor is the download interrupted.

Could any of you who might have done something similar please tell me what is
it that I might be doing wrong? My apache is running on port 80.

Regards,
Rajiv.

maybe it's not answer to your question, but in my opinion mod_clamav 
would be better for you, as it uses clamav, which is better than 
openantivirus.

mod_clamav is easy to install, let me know if you need help with it.
