flexfax: WHFC error when used with mysql ODBC

[Hong Kong Observatory <d1swdev@mail.asiaonline.net>]

Hi,

Server config :
HylaFax v4.0pl1 running under AIX 4.2.1 with modems ZyXEL U336RE.
A phone book stored in MySQL database running mysql 3.21.33.

WHFC config:
WHFC 1.0.5 , MySQL ODBC 2.50.24 and winsock 2.0 (Note that winsock 2.0 is
required for MySQL ODBC).

Problem:
WHFC works find IF user entered the FAX number. Also WHFC is able to
retrieve data from phone book in MySQL database in server. But if FAX
number from phone book databse is used, Following error message boxes will
appear after the 'send FAX' button clicked :

   WSANOTINITIALISED: WinSock not initialised

   no connection to host

   WSANOTINITIALISED: WinSock not initialised

   HylaFAX server not found

After closing the above error message boxes, the 'S' , 'R' and 'D' buttons
of WHFC will be disabled and a 'L' button will apear. Then the only way to
reconnect to HylaFAX server is to restart WHFC.

Please help to fix the problem, thank you !!


One more question, when querying the 'done queue' of HylaFAX server
(clicking the 'D' button), WHFC will hang !! (May be I got too many
entries in the doneq - over 2000).
