I can't receive fax

Asterisk Asterisk General

Hi:
How can I see the communication between hylafax and iaxmodem and the console of them?I only can see the console of asterisk.It shows: ‘IAX2/iaxmodem-2 is ringing’ when I dial the fax number.
and nothing else.I can’t receive fax.
I installed asterisk 1.4.18 and iaxmodem-1.2.0 and
hylafax-5.2.9-1.fc9.i386.rpm and these are my main configurations:
extensions.conf:
[from-pstn]
exten => 9711315,1,Answer
exten => 9711315,2,Dial(IAX2/iaxmodem)
iax.conf:
[iaxmodem]
type=friend
secret=password
port=4570
host=dynamic
context=from-pstn
disallow=all
allow=alaw

/etc/iaxmodem/ttyIAX0
device /dev/ttyIAX0
owner uucp:uucp
mode 660
port 4570
refresh 50
server 127.0.0.1
peername iaxmodem
secret password
codec alaw
and this is my modem type in /var/spool/hylafax/etc/config.tty
ModemType: Class1
/etc/inittab:
id:5:initdefault:
IA00:23:respawn:/usr/bin/iaxmodem
ttyIAX0
IA00:23:respawn:/usr/bin/iaxmodem
ttyIAX0
mo00:23:respawn:/usr/sbin/faxgetty ttyIAX0

I started hylafax,faxgetty and run iaxmodem.
I see below lines when I run faxstat:
HylaFAX scheduler on localhost.localdomain: Running
Modem ttyIAX0 (9711315): Waiting for modem to come ready

I’d appreciate any help,idea.

If you add the following to /etc/hylafax/config.ttyIAX0

ServerTracing: 0xFFF
SessionTracing: 0xFFF

and make sure you have

LogFacility: daemon
ServerTracing: 0xFFF

in /etc/hylafax/hdaxd.conf, then you should see plenty of output in /var/log/syslog once you have restarted hylafax. However I have a similar problem, which started a few weeks ago, and so far I have not been able to track it down. :frowning: You might get more help on the hylafax forum.

thank you for reply.
I did them but I don’t have /var/log/syslog file!

Wherever your system log file is then! Actually I have made some progress. I noticed there were several iaxmodem processes running. I killed all but one, and now it seems to be ok. I have disabled starting iaxmodem from /etc/rcn.d, and just use inittab, and that seems to work.
