Re: [hylafax-users] HylaFax 4.3.0rc2 woes




Toby,

there are couple of things I can think of trying (off the top of my head)...

1. Do a "ps -ef |grep fax" and make sure you don't have multiple copies of hylafax running. If there are, this issue will arise. I had this
problem once before...notably after startup. In my case, I found that I had the respawning set up in /etc/inittab - but I was also kicking
off hylafax via the system 5 startup scripts (in /etc/rc.d/init.d/hylafax).

2. You said you ran a netstat and found nothing listening on the port....did the port number appear in any form in the results ? It's possible that the port is not being
released properly after being closed.

3. You can try editing /etc/services and altering the port number reserved for hylafax (comment out the original - that way you can uncomment it and fall back to it). Restart
hylafax and you should be good to go...

I hope the above helps...cos I'm out of ideas !!

Good luck...

Bruce Whittaker,

[hylafax-users] HylaFax 4.3.0rc2 woes





Hi everyone, I recently removed my (old)HylaFAX installation to try
out 4.2.0rc2 but when I started it, it seems that 4559 is already in
use. I have checked using netstat and other tools right before I
started the new HylaFAX and am positive that nothing's listening to
that port. Anyway, here's a portion of the logfile:

Any ideas how to fix this? My entry in /etc/inittab is this:

mo:2345:respawn:/usr/sbin/faxgetty ttyS4

Thanks in advance.
