Re: How to stop 'Could not fecth' error from going to mobile
Hi Khary: You can use reply-couldnotfetch configuration variable to change the message. That will not stop the message from reaching the phone, though. Maybe you can try a combination of reply-couldnotfetch = omit-empty = true as Seik suggests. I never tried it. The best way to avoid this problem is effectively fetching the content from the webserver. If you still can't get your webserver to be always available, you will need some programming to catch the error before it reaches Kannel (using a local script as an interface between Kannel and the webserver).

Re: How to stop 'Could not fecth' error from going to mobile
Hi Rodrigo, Thanks for your reply. The configuration below appears (based on the docs) to apply to the smsbox and not the sms-service, is this the case or does it apply to both? Good suggestion on running locally however, we are processing hundreds of thousand request per day and it appears that the LAMP (specifically apache) is not handling the requests that well. Placing it locally may have an impact on the kannel server which we don't want . We are going to setting up load balancing on the web server but the hardware will take sometime. I wanted an interim solution. - Khary Rodrigo Cremaschi wrote: Hi Khary: You can use reply-couldnotfetch configuration variable to change the message.

Re: Is it possible to set the outgoing Kannel port?
Cyrus, That's pretty strange. I don't know of any config files to set that. Furthermore, it's quite unpractical, since it's the undelying OS the one setting the ports. Even if you were able to set a port, there's no guarantee from the OS that the specified port will even be available when kannel tries to allocate it. Maybe reserving a 1024 port, but even then you have to be careful. Even then, Kannel will use one port for each connection established, so you'll have as many ports as connections. Anyway, are you absolutely sure about the requirement? Doesn't seem reasonable IMHO. Kannel is a _client_, so it will first connect to a given SMPP port on the SMSC and then the underlying OS will set a different local port for each connection. Maybe you can hack some solution by using stunnel, iptables or maybe a tcp proxy capable of mangling packets and ports. I'm not sure if it's possible, though, the VPN in the middle will add extra complexity also. IMHO any firewall issues on the SMSC side could and should be worked out at their side. Hope it helps. Alejandro On 8/13/07, Cyrus Patel [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello, We are trying to use Kannel to connect to a SMSC over a VPN. We are having a problem because the SMSC's firewall engineers want our Kannel client to always connect using the same outgoing port each time (as opposed to randomly selecting a port as usual).

Re: Cingular 8125 GSM Cellphone or other ATT GSM cellphones and Kannel.
Michael, I have a Cingular 8525 with the latest ATT firmware installed. I'm not sure how similar to your device is, but maybe this helps you. There's a program called Internet Sharing that it should be used to connect to the device. Previous firmware had a setting for that, I don't remember the name though. I didn't tried (yet) to connect to kannel with this device, but I'd start checking that. I'd also check setting extra BT ports from the BT configuration menu. Hope it helps.

Re: DLR Kannel but SMSC send DLR using standard incoming SMS
Ady, From what I understand, you send a message and gets loaded on the dlr table, but when the dlr comes back (it comes back, right) kannel does not recognize it and the dlr stays forever on the table? Or, kannel recognizes it but doesn't hit dlr-url? First of all, check the logs and make sure wich case is yours, maybe something's wrong on the conf files (there's a setting for the format on the message_id, for example, some SMSC return in hex, some in decimal and that could be confusing the dlr engine). Also make sure that you are sending the dlr-url urlencoded. If you want to paste some relevant log entries we could take a look at it.

Re: Cingular 8125 GSM Cellphone or other ATT GSM cellphones and Kannel.
Michael, Theoretically, it should accept regular AT commands (never tried yet). I'll try it when I have a minute and post the results. I've tried with many other phones, with mixed results. I've used a Siemens C60, Motorola C385 and V3 with good results (only testing and proof of concept, never used it in real applications since we have SMPP connections with carriers to do that). I've also used a Nokia 3660 over BT, but had some problems with the rfcomm link. In short, AT module on kannel works fine with many phones and modems. I'd go for the GSM modem road if I were to setup a service over modems, though. Hope it helps, Alejandro.

Can not send sms frm kannel
Hello all, I am very new to kannel. I have mnaged to configure the kannel gateway over my secure VPN connections. Thanks for all your help. now i have a different problem. i am starting kannel (bearerbox) and it is connecting to the server (SMSC) as well. i am starting the smsbox and it shows that it gets connected to the bearerbox also. but when i try sending SMS nothing happens. i have a confusion. i know that sendsms needs to be accessed to send SMS. now, i have placed one copy of sendsms from /root/kanel/gateway- 1.4.1/contrib/ to one of my domain's cgi-bin directory(I did not find the file anywhere else so i guess it remains there only). kannel doc tell me that by default kannel expect the sendsms to be in this path /cgi-bin/sendsms. i do not have a cgi-bin directory in my root (/ i guess stands for root in linux) so i had no way but to put it in this directory. now, i am trying to use the php based admin that comes with kannel . i have configured the config.inc also. (both my kannel.conf and config.inc are given here) but, nothing happens when i put a number and press send. no log is shown (i run kannel with -v 1 option) and also msg is not delivered. i fell in another confusion when i saw in the doc it writen http://smsbox.host.name:13013/cgi-bin/sendsms http://smsbox.host.name:13013/cgi-bin/sendsms?sername=foopassword=barto=0 123456text=Hello+world ?sername=foopassword=barto=0123456text=Hello+world will send a msg. what is meant here by smsbox.host.name what value should be here according the senario i described? i am puzzled. can anybody please advise. i have tried to figure out by reading the doc. but i am puzzled..can anybody share with me practical experience regarding this? Thanks in advance. Amr Qanadilo
Re: Can not send sms frm kannel
Amr, You're confusing things. Kannel creates a virtual file /cgi-bin/sendsms that has nothing to do with your regular web server (that listens on port 80, while kannel listens on the port you've configured on the kannel.conf file). You won't find the sendsms file anywhere in your path, but if you access the uri: http://myhost:myport/cgi-bin/sendsms (Assuming that you use localhost or your host IP if you're accessing from another machine for myhost and the port configured on kannel.conf on myport) You'll get a response from kannel. This is what the docs call the sendsms interface. BTW, Kannel should NOT be placed in any web-accesible path. It's composed of a group of daemons/services that should run using an unprivileged user and out of web space. Please read the docs again if not sure.

Thanks for all your help. now i have a different problem. i am starting kannel (bearerbox) and it is connecting to the server (SMSC) as well. i am starting the smsbox and it shows that it gets connected to the bearerbox also. but when i try sending SMS nothing happens. i have a confusion. i know that sendsms needs to be accessed to send SMS. now, i have placed one copy of sendsms from /root/kanel/gateway- 1.4.1/contrib/ to one of my domain's cgi-bin directory(I did not find the file anywhere else so i guess it remains there only). kannel doc tell me that by default kannel expect the sendsms to be in this path /cgi-bin/sendsms. i do not have a cgi-bin directory in my root (/ i guess stands for root in linux) so i had no way but to put it in this directory. now, i am trying to use the php based admin that comes with kannel . i have configured the config.inc also. (both my kannel.conf and config.inc are given here) but, nothing happens when i put a number and press send. no log is shown (i run kannel with -v 1 option) and also msg is not delivered. i fell in another confusion when i saw in the doc it writen http://smsbox.host.name:13013/cgi-bin/sendsms ?sername=foopassword=barto=0123456text=Hello+world will send a msg. what is meant here by smsbox.host.name what value should be here according the senario i described? i am puzzled. can anybody please advise. i have tried to figure out by reading the doc. but i am puzzled..can anybody share with me practical experience regarding this?
