Topic: SME 7.0b4: Anybody have Hylafax running?

[pwalter]

Jesper Knudsen's Hylafax contrib script is quite popular for 6.01 and 6.5, but does not install on 7.0b4. Has anyone got Hylafax running on 7.0b4, and can provide a HOWTO?

[pwalter]

Answering my own question, first install the following rpms:
http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/centos/4/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS/sharutils-4.2.1-22.2.i386.rpm
http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/centos/4/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS/openssl096b-0.9.6b-22.3.i386.rpm
http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/centos/4/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS/libpng10-1.0.16-1.i386.rpm
http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/centos/4/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS/compat-libstdc++-296-2.96-132.7.2.i386.rpm

Then, install Jesper Knudsen's contrib as at

Another option would be to adapt the howto to use RHEL4 rpms instead of installing compatibility for RH7 rpms.

eg:
'yum install gawk sharutils ghostscript libtiff'
(these are the dependancies oof the new rpm - this will get the Centos versions of these rpms and their dependancies instead)

and then install the hylafax rpm from here:
rpm -ivh ftp://ftp.hylafax.org/binary/linux/redhat/RPMS/i386/hylafax-4.2.2-1rhel4.i386.rpm

Then edit Jesper's hf_install.sh script and remove the top half that downloads/installs the rpms and run the script with just the part from configuring the com port to the bottom, or just try to do the configuration manually following the steps he lists there.

Greg,

Yeah, I originally tried installing the RHEL4 rpm's but for some reason could not get it to work. Having installed the compatibility rpm's, I assume uninstalling them, then using your yum install method, plus installing the latest version of hylafax, will bring it up to date?

YFYI: Chaloner Hale contributed his hylafax contribs for the 6.x series. I have it installed on SME7B5 with some very small adjustments. Works like a charm.

RequestedDeletion,

I have it installed on SME7B5 with some very small adjustments.

What were your adjustments?

[guest22]

Chaloner told me it was about the .qmail file in the users homedirectory.

Basic functionality of hylafax is working just fine. Templates are included in the RPM.

The included readme explains all of it.

i am managed to setup the hylafax, i can receive the incoming fax into the pdf format, however, when i try to send out fax using the relayfax client (Chaloner's relayfax.tar), faxes are not able to fax out.

Dear RequestedDeletion,

What is the rpm that you have just mentioned and as well as the templates?

Thanks.

followed to my earlier post, i have an user setup called "relayfax@xyz.com", of course there is a faxuserlist file define for the userid/pass auth use.

my question is that i use the relayfax client to send fax, the relayfax account received the relayfx client fax, but did not pass to hylafax server to fax out.

i went to relayfax email account, i saw the content information was captured as below

CLIENTVERSION: 6.5.1
PRINTEDFAX: TRUE
FAXNUMBER: 12345678, "yiibong ", ""
FROMLINE: yiibong@xyz.com
BILLINGCODE: <Default>
FAXPASSWORD: 123
FROMNAME: yiibong
PRIORITY: 50

Why is it so? pls advise.

Thanks

Hi I have the same problem i.e. outgoing faxes arrive in relayfax mail but do not do anything from there.

Any advice please to get this working?

In the file .procmailrc in the relayfax user dir, you can set "verbose=yes" and see where it stops.
And make sure your scripts are not overwritten by the templates.
