Hello,
I am sending you email because i have read your posts about Kannel SMS Gateway. I hope i will get my answers here...
Actually i want to run an Small SMS site for localhost, since long i was using windows based server with ActiveXpert but now i want to play with ubuntu i liked the interface and want to make sms gateway in ubuntu. I have installed Kannel and extras but i dont know what is wrong with my settings...
1. My Kannel.conf file is:
# CONFIGURATION FOR USING SMS KANNEL WITH RAPIDSMS
#
# For any modifications to this file, see Kannel User Guide
# If that does not help, see Kannel web page (
http://www.kannel.org) and
# various online help and mailing list archives
#
# Notes on those who base their configuration on this:
# 1) check security issues! (allowed IPs, passwords and ports)
# 2) groups cannot have empty rows inside them!
# 3) read the user guide
include = "/etc/kannel/modems.conf"
#---------------------------------------------
# CORE
#
# There is only one core group and it sets all basic settings
# of the bearerbox (and system). You should take extra notes on
# configuration variables like 'store-file' (or 'store-dir'),
# 'admin-allow-ip' and 'access.log'
group = core
admin-port = 13000
smsbox-port = 13001
admin-password = bar
status-password = foo
dlr-storage = mysql
box-deny-ip = "*.*.*.*"
box-allow-ip = "127.0.0.1"
log-file = "/var/log/kannel/bearerbox.log"
log-level = 0
# DLR with MySQL support configuration
group = mysql-connection
id = mydlr
host = localhost
username = root
password = xxxxx
database = kannel
group = dlr-db
id = mydlr
table = dlr
field-smsc = smsc
field-timestamp = ts
field-destination = destination
field-source = source
field-service = service
field-url = url
field-mask = mask
field-status = status
field-boxc-id = boxc
#---------------------------------------------
# SMSC CONNECTIONS
#
# SMSC connections are created in bearerbox and they handle SMSC specific
# protocol and message relying. You need these to actually receive and send
# messages to handset, but can use GSM modems as virtual SMSCs
# Here is a sample SMSC for use with the /usr/lib/kannel/test/fakesmsc command
group = smsc
smsc = at
modemtype = auto
device=/dev/ttyUSB1
my-number = xxxxxxxxxxxxx
sms-center= xxxxxxxxxxxxx
connect-allow-ip = 127.0.0.1
log-level = 0
#---------------------------------------------
# SMSBOX SETUP
#
# Smsbox(es) do higher-level SMS handling after they have been received from
# SMS centers by bearerbox, or before they are given to bearerbox for delivery
group = smsbox
smsbox-id = mysmsc
bearerbox-host = 127.0.0.1
sendsms-port = 13013
global-sender = xxxxxxxxxxxxx
log-file = "/var/log/kannel/smsbox.log"
log-level = 0
access-log = "/var/log/kannel/access.log"
http-request-retry = 3
http-queue-delay = 10
# SEND-SMS USERS
#
# These users are used when Kannel smsbox sendsms interface is used to
# send PUSH sms messages, i.e. calling URL like
#
http://localhost:13013/cgi-bin/sends...assword=foobar...
# This is the username and password that RapidSMS uses to deliver SMSes to
# Kannel. It must also set the 'smsc' variable in the query string, so that
# Kannel knows which SMSC to use to route the message.
group = sendsms-user
username = kannel
password = kannel
concatenation= true
#---------------------------------------------
# SERVICES
#
# These are 'responses' to sms PULL messages, i.e. messages arriving from
# handsets. The response is based on message content. Only one sms-service is
# applied, using the first one to match.
# The 'ping-kannel' service let's you check to see if Kannel is running,
# even if RapidSMS is offline for some reason.
group = sms-service
keyword = default
catch-all = true
accept-x-kannel-headers = true
max-messages = 0
get-url = "http://localhost/kannel/receivesms.php?sender=%p&text=%b"
2. My Sqlbox.conf file Is:
group = sqlbox
id = sqlbox-db
smsbox-id = sqlbox
global-sender = "xxxxxxxxxx"
bearerbox-host = localhost
bearerbox-port = 13005
smsbox-port = 13001
smsbox-port-ssl = false
sql-log-table = sent_sms
sql-insert-table = send_sms
log-file = "/var/log/kannel/kannel-sqlbox.log"
log-level = 0
#ssl-client-certkey-file = ""
#ssl-server-cert-file = ""
#ssl-server-key-file = ""
#ssl-trusted-ca-file = ""
# Database connection examples. Please uncomment as needed
# Example MYSQL Connection
group = mysql-connection
id = sqlbox-db
host = localhost
username = root
password = xxxxxxx
database = kannel
max-connections = 10
3. Issues:
Now when i send SMS to my device it does not come in mysql in both like DLR and also in Kannel database.,..
When i send message through:
http://localhost:13013/cgi-bin/sends...ext=hi%20buddy!
It send SMS but not adding in database... I have created service for smsbox and bearerbox, when i start my server both services starts in background and work fine just dont know why it has database issues and also when i try to start sqlbox it shows:
2013-09-12 16:10:37 [16231] [0] INFO: MYSQL: Connected to server at localhost.
2013-09-12 16:10:37 [16231] [0] INFO: MYSQL: server version 5.5.32-0ubuntu0.12.04.1, client version 5.5.32.

Please tell me where i am wrong? I am using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. If you will help me for an PHP sms form too i shall be thankful. Where users write their name recipient number and message and press send sms go to recipient number and also save in database....
