Hi!

chaloner's ftp seems down... anyone to tell me where i can download the file to install hylafax on my fresh sme 7.0?

Thx!

Put this in a scipt and run it:

#!/bin/sh


wget -c ftp://ftp.hylafax.org/binary/linux/redhat/RPMS/i386/hylafax-4.3.0-2rhel4.i386.rpm
yum -y localinstall hylafax*

mv /etc/cron.daily/hylafax /etc/cron.weekly/

faxsetup

mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/inittab
echo "fax:23457:respawn:/usr/sbin/faxgetty ttyS0" > /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/inittab/S85hylafax
/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/inittab
/sbin/init q

ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/hylafax /etc/rc.d/rc7.d/S92hylafax

echo "FILETYPE=pdf;
SENDTO=FaxMaster;" > /etc/hylafax/etc/FaxDispatch

echo "RETURNFILETYPE=pdf;" > /etc/hylafax/etc/FaxNotify

ttyS0 for com1, ttyS1 for com2 and so on...

It does the same as Chaloners script. ( i think....) I use it myself.
There could be a never hylafax RPM, but you can just upgrade later or change the script to download the latest.

Me again,  I have installed a new modem external and it seems to be working fine but I cannot connect to the server.  I have downloaded Frog Faxmail but it keeps comming up user and password required.  is this a Hylafax thing, a Frog faxmail thing?  Do I need to open port 4559? Do l need to enter a password?  I have done some search but as yet cannot find any answers.

Please help
Paul

Paul, What did you do to solve the "user and Pssword" issue? Iam having the same problem.

Thanks
Carl

Hi Carl,

I had the same problem but with Winprint HylaFax client and I added a user like this:

faxadduser -a adminpass -p userpass -u 100 username

Del,
Just upgraded to SME 7.1 and everything went to He++. Seems that the SME server software doesn't like what it is being told to do.

Warning: /sbin/mgetty does not exist or is not an executable program!

The file:

HylaFAX software optionally uses this program and the fact that
it does not exist on the system is not a fatal error.  If the
program resides in a different location and you do not want to
install a symbolic link for /sbin/mgetty that points to your program
then you must reconfigure and rebuild HylaFAX from source code.

The directory /usr/share/ghostscript/fonts does not exist or this file is not a directory.
This is the directory where the HylaFAX client applications expect to
locate font metric information to use in formatting ASCII text for
submission as facsimile.  Without this information HylaFAX may
generate illegible facsimile from ASCII text.


Make /var/spool/hylafax/bin/ps2fax a link to /var/spool/hylafax/             bin/ps2fax.gs.


Make /var/spool/hylafax/bin/pdf2fax a link to /var/spool/hylafax             /bin/pdf2fax.gs.

Any ideas as to what changed?

You don`t need any of those programs to function. Just keep going thru the install process and you will be fine.

Duncan,

Thank you for the information. I am in the process of documenting all of the install process and have another question. Does anyone have a more complete install of this software on the SME server version 7.1? Not the Halyafax doc's but doc's that pertain only to the SME server version 7.1. I have looked but no luck?

I need specific details so I can also document my findings.

Thanks in advance

Please tell me how up setup the group and user, ibay for this.

Please tell me how up setup the group and user, ibay for this.

You need to set up a user or group called "faxmaster"
If you set up a user you can forward the mail/fax to another user.
If you set up a group, members of the group will recieve the mail/fax

You don't need an ibay.

Hey,

Looks like an issue with the init string. Go to the Hylafax website and see what init string they recommend for a Rockwell chipset.. BTW Most of the problems 60% with Hylafax are from the Init String. When you ran the faxsetup what did you try? Get the information and rerun faxsetup and try from their. I had to run it 2 times before I stumbled upon the correct init string.
