*Uptime: 2 Days.
*Level: Novice (fast learner though).
*Harware: Dedicated microATX w/Intel Core i3-540 (3.06GHz), 4GB DDR3 RAM, and 500GB HDD.
*Configuration: SOHO using 2-line unlocked Motorola VT2442 ATA for 2 analog phones. Soft FAX (hopefully).
*The Gotcha-Free PBX: Introducing Incredible PBX for Asterisk-GUI (CentOS) using the CentOS-6.6-x86_64-minimal.iso.
*Asterisk Build: Asterisk/11.16.0 Asterisk GUI-version : SVN-branch-2.0-r5220

Problem: No Avantfax icon anywhere to be found in the Incredible PBX web-GUI for me to launch/config faxing. I know I ran the install script per Mundy’s instructions (and only ran it once).

Otherwise everything else is working well as I play and learn my way through this complex PBX world. Any help on the fax would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Found my own solution. For some reason it appears the IncredibleFAX package did not deploy the first time I ran it. I will assume someone more technical than I could explain what failed.

Mundy's instructions say to run the command './incrediblefax11-GUI.sh' after the IncrediblePBX install has completed, which I thought I had done. I know I ran it at some point because I recall entering an email address and then accepting all the default prompts per Mundy's instructions. However, as a novice maybe there was some aspect of the IncrediblePBX deployment that had not completed yet and caused the IncredibleFax deployment to fail.

Thinking it had deployed, I was apprehensive about running the command line (./incrediblefax11-GUI.sh) a second time because Mundy warns against this in his instructions. Regardless, I figured worse case scenario I would wipe the system and start all over, so I risked running the command again and it work. I now have IncredibleFax and did not have to start over. I hope my blunder will help someone else in the future.

I have had a similar problem but still have not found a solution. I've successfully installed IncrediblePBX on my Pi2, but having persistent problems getting the fax application to install. Here is what I get:
root@raspberrypi:~# ./incrediblefax11-GUI.sh
-bash: ./incrediblefax11-GUI.sh: No such file or directory
I'm in the root directory. Any ideas what might be wrong?

I had to play around with the Kennonsoft configuration to get it to work. Heck, I've got FreePBX 12, so it's always wiping out the index_custom.php file and I have to put it back all the time.

Anyway, my welcome/.htindex.cfg file looks like this:

I think that did it for me.

A quick tip: You can make the file immutable so it doesn't get overwritten/replaced.

Code:
chattr +i index_custom.php

You'll have to remember to remove the attribute (-i) if you ever want to be able to modify that file later.
