What a shame

After all the work that we all did, the upgrade broke the install and now nothing works.

Anybody out there willing to see if they can fix this? I do not have the skills to trouble shoot this complex of an issue.

Carl

P.S. The install olny lasted 2 weeks, oh well.

is usually a symlink, did it survive the reconfig, can't see why it would

Over the weekend I will attempt to re-install the Hylafax yet again and see what breaks. Anybody willing to try this with me?

Have a great weekend all.

your howto is saying to edit files in /etc  that belong to the hylafax rpm
they will be overwritten on an ungrade

you need to make templates and they need to be expanded after an upgrade

Could you tell us how to expand templates and I will rewrite the how to?

see the developers guide in the SME Server Manual
link at top of page

but I've rolled all your steps into a rpm that should survive upgrades
I'd appreciate testing
you can d/l it from the bugtracker soon

excellent,
second rpm is available, which is sending faxes from an email

pnmls

newbie question
« Reply #25 on: February 13, 2007, 06:08:04 PM »
Where can I find a suitable ghostscript >= 5.5 rpm?
Installing smeserver-hylafax and it demands hylafax, that demands ghostscript.
Can you help me ???

Thanks,
Pedro

Ran into the same issue.

Were we supposed to run YUM to resolve this issue? What would be the proper order to install?

yes,
it finds the dependencies automatically

see the instructions in the howto, see link above

I installed hylaxfax first, but you can try
yum localinstall smeserver-hylax hylafax

note the problems mentioned in the bugtracker, see link above

any other problems to the bugtracker

I tried to install smeserver-hylafax-0.9-2.noarch

and got

error: Failed dependencies:
        hylafax >= 4.3 is needed by smeserver-hylafax-0.9-2.noarch

If I install hylafax first, I get the error that one of the files is trying to overwrite a file that is already on the drive.

Please explain how this rpm is supposed to work please.
