Greetings,
I installed from PiaF 2.0.6.4.2 32-bit ISO (2013-03-31) and ran into a couple of minuscule issues during the process.
First, for those who stumbled across this post, _always_ perform a backup prior to the installation of Incredible PBX, then perform _another_ backup prior to the installation of IncredFax.
Code:install-incredfax2 - 2.2.0 released on 082612 CentOS release 6.4 (Final) - 32 Bit ********************************************************************** * Your system appears to meet the requirements! * ********************************************************************** * REQUIRED DETECTED *----------------------------- ------------------------ * Asterisk Version 1.8/10 | 10 <----- 10.12.2 * Freepbx Version 2.8/2.9/2.10 | 2.9.0.11 <----- 2.9.0.12 per GUI * PIAF Family Version 206X | 20641 <----- 20642 * CentOS Version 6.2 or higher | 6.4 * CentOS Type 32 or 64 bit | 32 Bit ********************************************************************** * Now continuing with the installation * **********************************************************************
I installed PiaF RED, backed up system, installed Incredible PBX 3.x, backed up the system, then ran:
Code:install-incredpbx3 update-programs update-fixes
Backed up the system, then ran:
Code:install-incredfax2
I experienced the following error:
Code:No package hylafax+-server available.
To work around this minuscule issue, I recovered from backup and ran:
Code:yum install hylafax*
Which installed both hylaFAX+ server and client.
Next, I ran:
Code:install-incredfax2
I followed the prompts and the installation completed successfully.
After rebooting, I ran the following:
Code:update-programs update-fixes yum install perl-CGI chkconfig --level 345 hylafax+ on chkconfig --level 345 iaxmodem on service hylafax+ restart service iaxmodem restart
I configured via the <a href="http://www.pbxinaflash.com/community/index.php?threads/hylafax-avantfax-for-piaf-parts-1-4.3645/">Tutorial: HylaFAX / AvantFax for PIAF! - Parts 1-4</a>.
I was able to receive a fax, but had trouble sending one.
The following entry (sanitized and extra spaces removed) was in /var/spool/hylafax/etc/xferfaxlog
Code:04/09/13 13:19 UNSENT 6 "" user@localhost "1xxxxxxxxxx" "" 0 0 0:00:00 0:00:00 "**** Page has no /MediaBox attribute. Using the current page size.\ Error: /stackunderflow in --run--\
I updated to ghostscript-9.07 to work around this issue (I recommend CUPS users download/compile/install CUPS first).
Code:cd /usr/src w-g-e-t http://downloads.ghostscript.com/public/ghostscript-9.07.tar.gz tar -xvf ghostscript-9.07.tar.gz cd ghostscript-9.07 ./configure make make install ldconfig
Next, I updated HylaFAX+ to use the newer version of ghostscript.
Using your favorite editor (nano, vi, emacs) or script, edit /var/spool/hylafax/etc/setup.cache.
Change the following line:
Code:GSRIP='/usr/bin/gs'
to
Code:GSRIP='/usr/local/bin/gs'
Restart hylaFAX+.
Code:service hylafax+ restart
I successfully faxed a 100,965,810 byte tiff file (outbound via CallCentric), to my Panasonic Fax unit (inbound Google Voice connected to Obi100).
I should note that hylaFAX+'s automatic resend function works very well... the first two attempts overflowed the receive buffer in the Panasonic Fax unit (it's 10+ years old), and the third attempt switched to line by line mode.

Thank You for this saved me a ton of headache and hair pulling (not enough left)
