Comments on Build A HylaFax Server With AvantFax Frontend Using Debian Etch

Build A HylaFax Server With AvantFax Frontend Using Debian Etch Install Debian. I used the basic barebones install option. I did some things that were done because of preference, and not necessary. I have marked them approriately. I encourage contributions from anyone who would like to add or correct something in this HowTo to contact me so I can fix it. I have installed this setup twice following these instructions and used Avantfax 2.3.0. Thanks to all the resources who helped me figure this out. Especially Razametal, who submitted a fantastic Spanish language walkthrough on ecualug.org.

Why do you frequently reboot?

Restart services is most easier.

For Ubuntu 6.x and higher.

For if your hfaxd daemon is acting funny (client gives "can't get a socket" errors).

Edit your event.d file for your modem:

sudo vi /etc/event.d/ttyS0

If it is empty, first do the last instructions in the Handbook for Binary Package Install

http://www.hylafax.org/content/Handbook:Binary_Package_Install

Then add this line to the end and save:

exec /init.d/hylafax

Hi to everyone and thanks for great tutorial...

I followed it and there is only one thing i would like to add i any one other had or that will not have the same problem...

 If you will try to automaticaly print faxes, you need to enable this in local-config.php file and install cupsys-bsd package that gives directly support to needed lpr program. if you only install lpr package it will not work...

 Works now as expected. I even put it in wmvare debian image... :-D Only sending faxes does not work, but this is modem problem i suppose.

Hi,

I'm trying this tutorial on Debian 8 and on the "Now, lets get messy and install a cute web front end on it. " part getting below error;

 

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree

Reading state information... Done

Note, selecting 'giflib-tools' instead of 'libungif-bin'

Package libtiff4-dev is not available, but is referred to by another package.

This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or

is only available from another source

However the following packages replace it:

  libtiff5-dev

 

E: Unable to locate package libpq4

E: Package 'libtiff4-dev' has no installation candidate

E: Unable to locate package libungif4-dev
