connection refused by smsbox to sqlbox

2009-11-25 Thread jyotiranjan panda
Hi all,
I am not able to run sqlbox with kannel-1.4.1.
I have made a start script where I am starting bearerbox then sqlbox then
smsbox.
bearerbox and sqlbox are starting smoothly but when smsbox starts it gaves
folowing error with panic.

If you're connecting sqlbox to smsbox, as it appears to be the case, then
you should start smsbox _before_ sqlbox.

Hope it helps,

Re: connection refused by smsbox to sqlbox

2009-11-25 Thread Alejandro Guerrieri
Sorry, my bad, the order was right. sqlbox should sit inbetween smsbox and
sqlbox :P

Are you sure sqlbox is running when you start smsbox? Try running each box
from the command line without --daemonize and paste the relevant log entries
from stdout.

 Hello,

 I effectively run Debian/Lenny. But, I did apt-get install psmisc and
 I saw that it is already installed. However, when I look at my
 logrotate file for kannel, I see a difference compared to what is
 suggested in the user guide. Here is what I see in the user guide :

 postrotate
                   killall -HUP bearerbox smsbox wapbox || true 
 /dev/null 2 /dev/null

 Here is what I have in my file:

 postrotate
                   killall -HUP bearerbox smsbox wapbox  /dev/null
 2 /dev/null || true

 Does that make a difference? Is it the reason of my problem?

 I don't know if this will help but are you sure your linux has killall

 I use Debian GNU/Linux and since a few years ago Debian doesn't have
 killall in the base installation,
 you have to install the psmisc package after you install to get it
 (http://www.ducea.com/2008/08/18/killall-in-debian/).
 If killall isn't installed the SIGHUP signal is not received by kannel
 and the logs will remain being written
 to the file logrotate renamed instead of the new one.

 This happens to me every time I install a new server with kannel, just
 check and see if it helps you.

When in doubt, sources never lie. Manuals need updating.

You probably mean logrotate, and the one you have on your server is the 
correct one. However, neither version is related to your problem.

Here is what I have in my file:

postrotate
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β killall -HUP bearerbox smsbox wapbox  /dev/null
2 /dev/null || true

Does that make a difference? Is it the reason of my problem?

Regards,
StΞΉphane

I don't know if this will help but are you sure your linux has killall
installed?
I use Debian GNU/Linux and since a few years ago Debian doesn't have
killall in the base installation,
you have to install the psmisc package after you install to get it
(http://www.ducea.com/2008/08/18/killall-in-debian/).
If killall isn't installed the SIGHUP signal is not received by kannel
and the logs will remain being written
to the file logrotate renamed instead of the new one.

This happens to me every time I install a new server with kannel, just
check and see if it helps you.

Two Basic Questions, Please?

2009-11-25 Thread David Halliday
Hello,
 
I have windows xp on my pc, and am very interested in Kannel.

Before installing Linux and going through the whole process, I would like to 
know, if possible, please:-
 
1. To send sms messages, what else would one need apart from:-
 
Kannel + GSM modem + SMSC connectivity (for recepients' network)
 
Anything else apart from the above 3 'components'?
 
2. Would that arrangement be actually cheaper than to go through some bulk SMS 
suppliers like Clickatell, for example?  I think it should, but I am not sure.
 
I would greatly appreciate an answer.
 
Best regards,
 
David

Hi,

1) To push SMS you will need:

Application - Kannel - GSM modem

-or-

Application - Kannel - SMSc link

Application is some kind of web interface to facilitate and schedule pushes. 
Optionally you can substitute one of kannel's components, smsbox, with SQLbox 
for sending bulk.

GSM modem provides for a low volume, cheaper usually interface using a SIM 
card. But volume is restricted else SIM maybe disabled. SMSc provides for a 
more reliable interface, however, throughput is restricted according to your 
contract. Volume is unlimited (of course you are charged for each SMS). You can 
also shop around to get the lowest price globally, whereas with a SIM you are 
restricted by what your operator gives you.

2) Cost depends on your volume and destination. If Clickatell is an 
aggeragator, ie routes SMS to other SMScs, you can do better than them. If, 
however, they have real SS7 connections, given their volume, it is unlikely.

BR,
Nikos
