installing and using Fax-Hylafax-Client

Posted on 2006-03-01 17:01:41-08 by blackflag

Hello all, I have a hylafaxserver on debian sarge and Im looking for a good client. So I tried to install Fax-Hylafax-Client. I had a look in the readme and the first question is: how I should install this :Net::FTP 2.65 or higher. When I run make test the user and password is not used, only anonymous is used. I add a user via faxadduser anonymous running make test again I get: "Fax::Hylafax::Client: Cummunication error: User anonymous access denied. at test.pl line 44 # Looks like your test died before it could output anything. make: *** [test_dynamic] Fehler 255" I also tried kdeprintfax There I get also an access denied when I try to send a fax. So what is wrong? It seems that something with server configuration is also wrong. And the third thing: when the client is installed how I can execute it, I can not find an executable! tia stefan

Re: installing and using Fax-Hylafax-Client

1) Net::FTP is probably already installed on your machine, it's listed as a dependance just for the record. If you don't know how to install Perl modules you should read this first.

2) Test script in v_1.01 did in fact skip user and password parameters. This has been fixed in v_1.02 so you can test it with real users (other than anonymous). Beyond that, make sure you properly configure user access control on your Hylafax server.

3) There is no "executable". This is a Perl module you use in your own programming.
