[hylafax-users] frustrated... trying to run a faxserver

[jimmysubman@xxxxxxxxx]

Hello guys, I am trying to setup a hylafax server for couple of days
now, but without any success. I will be very greatfull if someone
could explain/solve my problem. And please try to talk to me like to
4yo beginner linux user :)
First I had exactly the same problem as the guy who posted his thread here :
http://www.hylafax.org/archive/2001-04/msg00010.php

same sympthoms. After manually copying the configuration file
config.ttyS1 to fax/etc and hylafax/etc directory something has
changed - faxsetup command is giving me following output:

Setup program for HylaFAX (tm) 4.3.1.

Created for i686-pc-linux-gnu on Sun Jan  7 09:32:03 CET 2007.

Reading cached parameters from /var/spool/hylafax/etc/setup.cache.

Checking system for proper server configuration.


Warning: /etc/hylafax/vgetty-link does not exist or is not an
executable program !

The file:

   /etc/hylafax/vgetty-link

does not exist or this file is not an executable program.  The
HylaFAX software optionally uses this program and the fact that
it does not exist on the system is not a fatal error.  If the
program resides in a different location and you do not want to
install a symbolic link for /etc/hylafax/vgetty-link that points to your program
then you must reconfigure and rebuild HylaFAX from source code.

Make /var/spool/hylafax/bin/ps2fax a link to /var/spool/hylafax/bin/ps2fax.gs.


Make /var/spool/hylafax/bin/pdf2fax a link to /var/spool/hylafax/bin/pdf2fax.gs.

Update /var/spool/hylafax/status/any.info.

       HylaFAX configuration parameters are:

       [1] Init script starts faxq:            yes
       [2] Init script starts hfaxd            yes
       [3] Start old protocol:                 no
       [4] Start paging protocol:              no
Are these ok [yes]?

Modem support functions written to /var/spool/hylafax/etc/setup.modem.
Configuration parameters written to /var/spool/hylafax/etc/setup.cache.

Restarting HylaFAX server processes.
Should I restart the HylaFAX server processes [yes]?

/etc/init.d/hylafax start
Not starting HylaFAX daemons since they are already running.

You do not appear to be using faxgetty to notify the HylaFAX scheduler
about new modems and/or their status.  This means that you must use the
faxmodem program to inform the new faxq process about the modems you
want to have scheduled by HylaFAX.  Beware that if you have modems that
require non-default capabilities specified to faxmodem then you should
read faxmodem(8) manual page and do this work yourself (since this
script is not intelligent enough to automatically figure out the modem
capabilities and supply the appropriate arguments).

Should I run faxmodem for each configured modem [yes]?

Done verifying system setup.
Updating /etc/hylafax/setup.cache from /var/spool/hylafax/etc/setup.cache.
Updating /etc/hylafax/setup.modem from /var/spool/hylafax/etc/setup.modem.
/var/spool/hylafax
debian:/var/spool/hylafax/etc#




Earlier faxaddmodem was initialized by faxsetup, without any response
from the modem. But the modem was usable, i could ring to any number
from it using the cutecom or minicom.
When I try to send a fax, I am receiving the following message :

460 Failed to submit job 5: Unable to open scheduler FIFO: No such
device or address.

And similar message when trying to send a fax through windows hylafax client.
Here are some file listings on my machine:
