I am using the https://github.com/appwrite/php-clamav package for scanning files before uploading them to the AWS server. But I am getting the error "Unable to connect to ClamAV server". Server I am using a Linux server on IONOS. I followed the installation procedure. But getting this error while trying to scan a file while uploading.
Here is my error log :
PHP Fatal error: Uncaught RuntimeException: Unable to connect to ClamAV server in /var/www/vhosts/networksfortraining.org/sandbox-app-three.networksfortraining.org/wp-content/plugins/wp-s3-user-upload/vendor/appwrite/php-clamav/src/ClamAV/Network.php:66

Thanks.
TL;DR
Developers are unable to connect to the ClamAV server when using the PHP package for scanning files before uploading to AWS. The error log shows a Fatal error due to inability to connect to the ClamAV server on the Linux server. To resolve this, check the network connection, verify ClamAV server settings, and ensure the server configuration aligns with the package requirements.
