Re: [hylafax-users] faxgetty doesn't answer



Well, you need to figure out why faxgetty is unable to communicate with the modem. I assume that faxaddmodem ran fine for you?

Yes, it works ok.. but I need to remove faxgetty from inittab and restart
machine to be able to access it, because it will not let go of the device
even with a init q (after removal) and kill -9 <pid>

Hello all!

I have a problem, I'm experimenting with deploying a hylafax installation but I've runned into a problem.

I installed version 4.2.1-1fc3 (RPM from hylafax.org) on a fresh installed machine with FC3 with a PCMCIA modem ActionTec Datalink V90 LK (http://www.actiontec.com/support/modems/dlv90lk.html) modem gets detected by linux perfectly with no problems at boot time and creates device (ttyS3), it's already configured on inittab to launch (mo:2345:respawn:/usr/sbin/faxgetty ttyS3), hylafax starts as expected:

Mar 1 17:53:01 fax hylafax: faxq startup succeeded
Mar 1 17:53:01 fax FaxQueuer[2392]: HylaFAX (tm) Version 4.2.1
Mar 1 17:53:01 fax FaxQueuer[2392]: Copyright (c) 1990-1996 Sam Leffler
Mar 1 17:53:01 fax FaxQueuer[2392]: Copyright (c) 1991-1996 Silicon Graphics, Inc.
Mar 1 17:53:01 fax HylaFAX[2396]: HylaFAX INET Protocol Server: restarted.
Mar 1 17:53:01 fax hylafax: hfaxd startup succeeded
Mar 1 17:53:05 fax FaxGetty[2442]: OPEN /dev/ttyS3 HylaFAX (tm) Version 4.2.1
Mar 1 17:53:15 fax FaxGetty[2442]: MODEM AEIGFM560LKNF1 AEIGFM560LKNF1/p052099f



faxstat reports the modem as ready


[root@fax ~]# faxstat
HylaFAX scheduler on fax.intranet.acorporativa.com.mx: Running
Modem ttyS3 ((55)5393-8720): Running and idle
[root@fax ~]#

but faxgetty never answers incomming calls, i've straced faxgetty's process and got this:

select(9, [5 8], [], [8], {29, 999096}) = 0 (Timeout)
gettimeofday({1109723926, 489798}, NULL) = 0
gettimeofday({1109723926, 490670}, NULL) = 0
gettimeofday({1109723926, 491240}, NULL) = 0
select(9, [5 8], [], [8], {0, 636}) = 0 (Timeout)
gettimeofday({1109723926, 494599}, NULL) = 0
gettimeofday({1109723926, 495321}, NULL) = 0
open("/var/lock/LCK..ttyS3", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
gettimeofday({1109723926, 496569}, NULL) = 0
gettimeofday({1109723926, 496789}, NULL) = 0


and it keeps looping and looping, if I make a call to the fax, it will still be the same.

When it's on the right mood and after several reboot's it will answer the phone, but if you call it and no fax is sent, it will go to this same mode again. Also if it's running normally and I restart the hylafax service /etc/init.d/hylafax restart it will hang this same way.

I've commed to see that it's a uucp locking problem, but haven't found a way to fix it.

any ideas on what's going on? did I do something wrong?


Can you set


ServerTracing: 0xFFF

in your modem config file, restart faxgetty, and then send the FaxGetty logs in your /var/log/messages after you call the line?

Thanks,

Lee.
