Is anybody still using Hylafax ?
I'm trying to start hylafaxplus but getting an error:
/etc/init.d/hylafaxplus start
* Check hylafax server configuration... ...
* Use spool directory /var/spool/fax
* Starting HylaFAX server daemons ...
* Starting /usr/sbin/faxq ...
* Error on start /usr/sbin/faxq daemon
* ERROR: hylafaxplus failed to start
Where should I start checking?
Does /usr/sbin/faxq still exist?
Try running it by hand from a command prompt and see what error messages it
produces. You might need to 'su' to the appropriate user first.
Thanks for suggestion.
I was able to solve it.
checking: /var/log/syslog
shows:
Mar 28 18:08:21 syscon7 /etc/init.d/hylafaxplus[29745]: start-stop-daemon:
/usr/sbin/faxq is already running
Mar 28 18:08:21 syscon7 /etc/init.d/hylafaxplus[29746]: Error on start
/usr/sbin/faxq daemon
Mar 28 18:08:21 syscon7 /etc/init.d/hylafaxplus[29724]: ERROR: hylafaxplus
failed to start
for some reason hylafax couldn't stop or restart " /usr/sbin/faxq"
running manually: "/usr/sbin/faxquit"
solved the problem.
