Elastix – How to turn off HTTPS (SSL)

qcfourie — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 20:33:46 +0000

By default Elastix is installed to be managed by https:/// interface, but in some circumstances you have to change it to normal HTTP.

In order to do this it’s you require just one simple change:

Locate the file httpd.conf in /etc/httpd/conf/

Within the file, search for “RewriteEngine On” and change to “RewriteEngine Off” to deactivate the secure socket layer.

Thereafter restart HTTP by entering in the bash

#httpd -k restart

Quick, quick! Hope this is of some help.

HylaFax, FaxGetty and the Putty ATZ Problem

qcfourie — Wed, 26 May 2010 05:16:18 +0000

From time to time Putty will become unresponsive and displays “ATZ”. This is due to the HylaFax – FaxGetty’s software modems that causes this problem.

The only way we could find getting around this problem is by disabling the modems (and faxes) while you work on the server and enabling them afterwards. The problem with this is that you can not kill or stop FaxGetty like other services. You need to edit the /etc/inittab and comment the FaxGetty modem lines at the bottom of the file. Thereafter save the file and restart inittab by executing #kill – HUP 1 from the bash. When you are done, undo your inittab changes and restart inittab.

Easy as pie.

HylaFax – Adding a new user

qcfourie — Tue, 25 May 2010 05:31:21 +0000

This one took me a while as I could not find reliable help on the net.

Adding a new user to HylaFax for sending faxes is this easy. From the bash, execute

faxadduser -a faxuser -p faxuser -u 100 faxuser

in this format:

faxadduser -a [password] -p [password] -u 100 [username]

An application to integrate with MS faxing is HylaFSP by iFax Solutions. Works well for sending faxes directly from your PC.
