HylaFax AvantFax Broken Again

The referenced script installs the missing pieces.

Sorry but those pieces are missing from the script.

"as a side note I went through your wget(s) and rpm(s) you posted in your first reply and I don't see those in your updated script. Maybe they are called another way I'm not seeing."

So it looks like he had to manually run those wgets.

Server hiccup. Fixed now. Sorry and thanks for the heads up.

Yes, I manually added the packages referenced earlier by Uncle Ward. It seems to have worked well, because I can finally send and receive faxes. This is AWESOME!
(Now I'm going to mess with it and see if I can break it.)

 

[zzvikingzz]

Success!! Thanks.

Hey Ward as a config question How do I setup or utilize that misc destination 329 for incoming faxes to PIAF? Thanks.

AvantFAX update

I just finished looking around the Internet and found out that the new version of PHP is a culprit in not being able to access the AvantFax management page (the "sign-in" page works once and then you are presented with blank error pages).

The author of AvantFax recommends a change to the __autoload function in classes.php. I found that his suggestion doesn't work the way it should. He left out the path information for the file_exists() function, so all of the classes were basically unfound.

Here's what I'm using right now and it seems to be working most of the time.

if (file_exists('/var/www/html/avantfax/includes/' . $class_name . '.php'))
require_once $class_name . '.php';
}

There still might be a problem or two, but this is getting me closer to getting the program working.

The new version of the incredible fax 2.0 does not need this patch and works just fine with our current php version.
