After I upgrade to 2.7 I’m getting the following error message on the extensions configuration of fax:
“ERROR: No FAX modules detected! Fax-related dialplan will NOT be generated. This module requires Fax for Asterisk or spandsp based app_fax or app_rxfax to function.”
I appreciate if somebody can help me on how to fix this error.
Thanks a lot
Antonio.
Three options:
Remove the FAX module.
Install FFA or an appropriate spandsp related alternative.
If you believe you already have the latter, then provide some more information to see if this is a bug in the FAX module. Let us know what you have installed and include output from the CLI that shows the appropriate installed applications/modules in your Asterisk install.
Dear p_lindheimer,
I removed the fax module and installed it again but I did not see any improvement, since after it shows exactly the same error.
Then I run my CLI to see all the modules that I have installed and the list that come out is below.
For more additional information, I installed initially the AsteriskNOW packaged that come with FreePBX 2.5 (about one month ago) then I upgraded to FreePBX 2.6 and it runn well. I also updated the operating system CentOS with yum update.
When I saw that the final of FreePBX was released I followed all the steps and I upgraded it and I notice something during the dowloading and installation of the modules in the 2.7 version, a kind of error, but i did not pay too much attention since the final message for the dowloading and installing each module was that it was done with success. Only yesterday when I was checking some configurations on one of my extensions I foud this error.
Sorry for this long post, but since I’m quite new I trying to give all the information to try to get help to fix this error.
My Linux Distribution: (Redhat CentOS release 5.4 (Final))
Thanks alot for your support.

There is no sign of support for faxing in your module list. Check if Digium has supplied an RPM for it that you can yum update. Otherwise you will have to install manually. You’ll also need to get a free FFA license from Digium and install that also.
Unfortunately these are things that FreePBX can’t do. Past versions did not expose the issue, they would have let you configure faxing as if it was there and present which it was not so it would have failed.
I guess one possible “bug” is if you are faxing to a real device if these error still come up. I’ll have the developers check on that aspect of it…
Dear Philippe Lindheimer,
I will follow your advices.
Thanks a lot for your support.
