Topic: Hylafax on SME9.1

[bunkobugsy]

Is anyone running this? Can't seem to figure this one out after upgrade from 8.2.
Have been runnig 4.4.1 on SME 7 and 8 for years without a problem.
EL5 x86_64 RPMs from SME8 contribs don't seem to receive or even pick up.
Neither do other EL6 x86_64 RPMs (5.2.1, 5.5.2) + smeserver-hylafax EL5.
Any ideeas? Should I raise a bug? Thanks.

First, any log messages?

Next is there a 9.x contrib ? If not we can look at that. Probably worth opening a bug and we can take a look.

No log messages, wiki page last updated before SME9 released, rpms missing from 9.1 contribs repo. Just asking if anyone managed to use it, really need it.

Followed wiki steps, detects modem, restart, but it simply won't answer.

Ok. I can't do anything from my mobile phone to assist. Home Tuesday.....

Wondering if there are any issues with port speed/comms. Can you communicate direct with say minicom ?

Open a bug and ask for a rpm for v9 and we'll try and get one built this week. However if the v8 one installs then I think it is likely to be an issue with hylafax/modem

Is there any other debugging you can enable in hylafax to log a bit more ?

[bunkobugsy]

Thanks for your help, will post back with any new info.

Similar to http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/centos-rhel-6-install-serial-console/

create /etc/init/ttyS0.conf:

start on runlevel [2345]
stop on runlevel [S016]
respawn
instance /dev/ttyS0
exec /usr/sbin/faxgetty ttyS0

and restart fixes problem.
