Re: [hylafax-users] Windows/Hylafax



Well, I have gone through everyone's suggestions, but I am still getting the same results.

Mark's suggestion is interesting but every way I've edited hosts.hfaxd has not changed anything.

Here are the changes I have done to hosts.hfaxd:

1. Original config:
localhost:21::
10\.0\.1\.:::

2. Next
localhost:21::
10.0.1.:::

3. Next
localhost:21::
^curtis@xxxxxxx:::

4. Next
localhost:21::
^curtis@
10.0.1.:::

Each time, the same error.

BTW, I have chmod on printfax.log, but no difference.

I think they key is to make sure your network and fax email user is represented in the hosts.hfaxd documents. My fax email account is "fax@xxxxxxxxx" so I added ^fax@ to hosts.hfaxd with a positive result.

Been trying to set up a Windows XP machine (same results though with
Windows 2000) to fax through HylaFax but am at the point that I'm
ripping out my hair.

Just some background first. HylaFax is on a Debian (sarge) server. I can
fax out no problem.


I have tried integrating either adiXein or just "Respond" and
"printfax.pl" but regardless am still unable to send a fax that way.

What I have noticed by going through the logs is that the following
error occurs on the Linux machine after providing "Respond" with the
telephone number:

Jan 13 10:18:54 localhost printfax[12902]: /usr/bin/printfax.pl [12901]:
Can't open `/var/spool/fax/outgoing/printfax.log': Permission denied


I noticed in the printfax.pl file there are commented-out instructions
saying that samba must have access to the printfax.log file.

So I changed permissions to the file to 666 and then to the outgoing
folder to 777, but still the same error. So I moved the log file to
/var/log/samba/ just out of morbid curiosity, but still no luck.

Jan 13 10:30:58 localhost printfax[12983]: /usr/bin/printfax.pl [12982]:
Can't open `/var/log/samba/printfax.log': Permission denied



I don't know if even this is the reason why it's not getting to the
point of sending the fax or not. But it's the only error I have noticed.


Any help would be most appreciated!

Curtis
