Re: [hylafax-users] Problem using hylafax & capi4hylafax



To check if you have a handling problem with hylafax or with windows
clientsoftware:
Can you send a fax from the commandline with sendfax?

Yes, c2sendfax works fine (c2sendfax -f TIFF -d number tif-file).



i mean "sendfax", not c2faxsend. The proposal is to check the server from the command line before using windows clients.

try "sendfax -n -d 12345 /etc/hosts" (or any other testfile).


Ok, did it: suse9:/ # sendfax -n -d 9022484 /etc/hosts request id is 7 (group id 7) for host localhost (1 file) suse9:/ # Which produced thiese entries in /var/log/messages: Dec 4 17:59:11 suse9 HylaFAX[5034]: Filesystem has SysV-style file creation semantics.

"faxCAPI" "/dev/faxCAPI"

No fax was sent.

It seems as if the original "faxsend" binary is used instead of c2faxsend.
- check the installpath (/var/spool/fax (c2faxrecv!) vs. /var/spool/hylafax (newer versions of hylafax)).
- check if your own config and config.faxCAPI are in the etc dir
- move them to another place
- rerun faxsetup and exit before faxaddmodem should be run
- move your config and config.faxCAPI back to the etc dir
- restart c2faxrecv/hylafax


For further questions, please post the config.faxCAPI and the versions of c4l, c4h, hylafax and if you compiled them or use the ones shipped with suse (may be theres a problem with suse 9; did you check their homepage for updates?).



I did so ....
   suse9:/ # ps -ax | grep fax

if i remember it right, you have a C4. Then should be 10 c2faxrecv running (one for each B-channel--> 8 + 2 for management)!


Not realy, its an AVM Fritz!Card DSL ;)



OK, everything is alright then.
