Hello I have a strange issue with Avantfax V2.2.5
http://www.avantfax.com/
I have Slackware 12 running with LTSP with no problems. So I decided to add fax support as well. I installed Hylafax V5.1.7 from
http://hylafax.sourceforge.net/
I installed the compiled version from
http://www.slacky.eu/repository/slac...twork/hylafax/ and everything went fine with no issues.
I installed Avantfax and followed the instructions to the tee and everthing went fine installation wise.
However I have this weird problem that I reported in the avantfax forum
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.p...orum_id=540878 it seems there are not many Slackware users there and Slackware is not officially supported by Avantfax so I have not gotten any suggestions.
This is what I had posted in the Avantfax forums;
Cannot preview faxes...Fileinfo issue (New)
By: Cpoc2 (cpoc2) - 2007-08-12 13:34
I have Slackware 12 running as my HYlafax server and I can send and receive faxes with no problems. The problem lies with Avantfax. My problem seems to be a common one which I have searched in these forms. It seems that Avantfax changed their php scripts somewhat in the latest version as of now (V 2.25)
I have installed all of the dependencies required for Avantafx and all works great except that I cannot view any faxes or view any pdf faxes as well. I have traced the problem down to the PECL FileInfo module.
Since I could not compile this from pear or PECL it would always give a configure error even though I have all the dependencies met I had no choice to compile from source. It installed with no problems using standard make and make install, version 1.04 so I thought that all was good. It seems that with fileinfo installed and the module extension enabled in php.ini as (extension=fileinfo.so) the apache server would be very slow to respond to any of the avantfax pages. If I would comment out extension=fileinfo.so in php.ini and restart the apache server all would be well as in responsive speed in apache but I could not preview any faxes. Now the funny thing is if I would enable the module in php.ini and restart the server I sill could not see any preview faxes and the pdf function would just hang and the server would be unresponsive. So I thought it was an issue with Fileinfo and tried to downgrade to 1.0.3 but that version would give me a make error.
So now I'm stuck and have no way to fix this. I have tried all suggestions from reading the forum but all the suggestions apply to older versions of Avantfax to use FILE_INFO=true setting which was redone in version V 2.25 that automatically checks to see if it's installed which it is installed.
Any suggestions cause I have run out of ideas how to resolve this issue.
Thanks.
As you can see I have tried everrything I can think of to resolve this issue but nothing seems to works.
I hope some fellow slackers out there can help me out.
