Topic: mgetty based fax server

[Adrian Sergent]

Hello All


I am currently building an E-smith fax server  (5.1.2)but have run in to a little problem which hopefully someone can help me?

I have down loaded the all rpm's needed to build this service from the following ftp site: ftp://ftp.e-smith.org/pub/e-smith/contrib/CharlieBrady/mgetty+sendfax/RPMS

All down loaded fine and i started to load the rpm's however i have a problem with two of them.

1)ghostscript-6.51-16es2.i386.rpm
2)ghostscript-fonts-5.50-3.noarch.rpm

If i try and load number 1 i get the following message:
error:failed dependencies:
        ghostscript-fonts is needed by ghostscript-6.51-16es2

If i try to load number 2 i get the following message
error:failed dependencies:
        ghostscript is needed by ghostscript-fonts-5.50-3

But everything else has loaded.

I am not sure which way around i should be loading the two mentioned rpm's. I am quite new to e-smith and the linux world and would appreciate any kind of help.

Ive tried digging around to attempt to find the answer myself but have become stuck.

I beleive other's have used this and installed without any problems.

Thank's again

Adrian

Load them both at the same time.

Cheers Charlie it's loaded.

Just one more thing if that's ok

Do you have an Idiots guide on how to configure this from start to finish.

I have looked at the four lines below and i am not sure on how to configure them.
======================================================

1) /etc/e-smith/events/actions/conf-mgetty-startup
2) /sbin/e-smith/db configuration setprop FaxModemDevice ttyS0
3) /sbin/e-smith/db configuration setprop FaxSendNumber 12345678
4) /sbine/e-smith/events/actions/conf-mgetty

======================================================

I am not sure what i am ment to do on the first line, and i have found a db file in /sbin/e-smith and have found the following.

'setprop'
     =>  {
              'function'  =>    \&DB_setprop,
              'usage'    =>     $0 dbfile setprop key
                                     .  prop1 val1 [prop2 val2]
                                     .  [prop3 val3]...

How would i set this to be what is required so that ttyS0 is setup correctly?.


Thanks

Hi Adrian,

You have to enter and execute these line 1 by 1 on the console as root.

FaxModemDevice ttySx where x is your real device
FaxSendNumber 12345678 where 12345678 is your real (own) faxnumber
