The cPanel file upload issue
If you have received below error while uploading file via File Manager from your cPanel
C:\\\\fakepath\\\\test.jpeg: unknown Bytes complete FAILED! :Upload canceled: VIRUS DETECTED! (Access denied. ERROR)
This error will occur when ClamAV was not installed from WHM & was installed manually OR when /var/clamd directory is remaining after uninstalling ClamAV.
Solution:
- Login to WHM
- Click on “Manage Plugins”
- Click on “Install clamAV for cPanel”
The clamAV installation will take some time to complete. You will see a successful message about the installation once the plugin is successfully installed.

That’s it 🙂 Issue fixed 😉
