NO JOY AvantFax 500 error

[wv_giant]

I have searched the forum and couldn't find a thread with this issue.

I just installed the latest Incredible13 Enchilada from the ISO on nerd vittles. When I click the AvantFax button in the UI and login with adminassword the AvantFax login screen loads. When I enter the credentials and click login, I get a 500 error. If I click the forgot password link, that page loads fine but then when I enter the email address and click the button I also get a 500 error. It seems like a POST or GET error in PHP but I am not sure where the error logs are located to try to troubleshoot it.

Any idea of what's wrong?

in the terminal you will have to enter to create a new password
./avantfax-pw-change

Thanks, Eliad. I had tried that and got this error:

ERROR 1146 (42S02) at line 1: Table 'avantfax.UserAccount' doesn't exist
ERROR 1146 (42S02) at line 1: Table 'avantfax.UserPasswords' doesn't exist

what did you use for the user? you have to use admin. if you did that you might need to restore all the passwords to the system by using ./admin-pw-change
Beyond these I have no idea. this is my hobby not my profesion

There is a bug in the Avantfax module for adding new users.

After a new users is added, the table for logins and passwords becomes corrupt and a slight modification is required.

After adding a new user do the following:

Edit the file: /var/spool/hylafax/etc/hosts.hfaxd

You will find that any new users you added have gone to the top of the file. You must modify the file so that the top two lines of the file are the ones that are now below. Those are:

localhost
127.0.0.1

Then the users and their passwords follow.

Save the file, and do an service httpd restart. You should then be good.
