Title: HylaFAX v6
Post by: chaloner on June 02, 2009, 04:57:54 AM

For all those that like to keep up to date with the latest, I have installed the the 6.0.2 HylaFAX rpms.

Tested and working just fine...

If you have a previous version installed you need to uninstall just the hylafax rpm, nothing else. I use yum...

To install the new version;

1) Download both the client and server rpm's from hylafax.org for redhat/centos4

2) yum --enablerepo=base --enablerepo=updates localinstall hylafax-client-6.0.2-1rhel4.i386.rpm hylafax-server-6.0.2-1rhel4.i386.rpm

3) re-run faxsetup followd by faxaddmodem for each installed modem

4) fire it up

For fresh installs;

yum --enablerepo=base --enablerepo=updates localinstall hylafax-client-6.0.2-1rhel4.i386.rpm hylafax-server-6.0.2-1rhel4.i386.rpm
signal-event post-upgrade
signal-event reboot

after reboot followed by;

faxsetup
faxaddmodem

then to make eveything stick;

mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/inittab
cd /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/inittab
echo 'fax:23457:respawn:/usr/sbin/faxgetty ttySx' >> 85hylafax (adjust the x for your com port)
/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/inittab
init q

ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/hylafax /etc/rc.d/rc7.d/S95hylafax
mv /etc/cron.daily/hylafax /etc/cron.weekly/
service hylafax restart

I also tried hylafax 6.0.1-2, but not 6.0.2

It's not compatible with smeserver-hylafax...

Stephen Noble, can you update this contrib?
You wrote:
   SMERPFax should be added to smecontribs and / or panels should be converted to utf-8, perhaps it should be merged with smeserver-hylafax

Currently, smeserver-hylafax is not compatible with SMERPFax.
I would also like to have many modems

thank you
anne

Thanks for the update. Have you noticed any tangible improvements over the 4.4.4 version? It claims to have better T.30 handling which may be useful.

@chaloner: what has to be uninstalled? Only the hylafax-rpm or also the dependency smeserver-hylafax? Could you advise please?

Thank you.
