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: problems connecting to SMSC using SMPP though VPN
Dear fried; We have connected the VPN using the following configurations and it is connected [main] Description=sample user profile Host= (MAIN IP FROM OPERATOR) AuthType=1 GroupName=amc GroupPwd= EnableISPConnect=0 ISPConnectType=0 ISPConnect= ISPCommand= Username=am UserPassword= SaveUserPassword=0 EnableBackup=0 BackupServer= EnableNat=0 CertStore=0 CertName= CertPath= CertSubjectName= CertSerialHash= DHGroup=2 ForceKeepAlives=0 enc_GroupPwd= enc_UserPassword= TunnelingMode=0 TcpTunnelingPort=5020 SendCertChain=0 PeerTimeout=90 EnableLocalLAN=0 It is there connected and in the route table the other IP that is given to us in to use in SMPP is also there. When I tracerout the SMPP IP it lead me to the main IP for VPN. Now my question would be, if the VPN is already connected and I can trace route the IP for the SMPP to the VPN connection. Then why wont the kannel recognize it? Is there a kind of setting that I need to do?

Of course Kannel shouldn't try to connect to that one, since it's the IP used to establish the tunnel. The other IP (or IP's) are called the Encryption Domain. If you have established your VPN well, all traffic going out on your host to the enryption domain should be directed through the tunnel established over the vpn peer. Looking at your logs, there are many issues that could end with a Connection Timed Out, but most probably is related to a VPN configuration or firewall issue. The first thing to do is to check if you're able to connect to the SMPP host/port on the other side by using other means of connection. I'd suggest you to try using telnet to the host/port on the other side, since most operators block ping from external IP's: telnet smpp host smpp port Keep in mind that if you're host have more than one IP, you have to use the same IP as kannel. Usually, the first interface on a multi-ip host is the one used to establish connections (you can change that on kannel by using the our-host directive on conf files). If you can establish a connection using telnet (I don't think you will) then the problem is on kannel. The other suspect could be a firewall configuration on either side, check your setup and ask your operator about it.

Dear friend; But the Telnet is not working, keeps trying but with no luck in reaching. Do you think that the GSM operator has disabled the telnet on this IP? If yes then the problem rises with the operator. And if not, then the VPN is not working actually...Am I correct?

Being able to traceroute to the VPN peer doesn't guarantee that the traffic is already being sent inside the tunnel and encrypted. Usual debugging tools for VPN's are telnet (to try establishing a connection with the other side's encryption domain). And ethereal (to check if the packets are really being encrypted over the tunnel. This is in fact off-topic for the Kannel list, I'm pretty sure that there's nothing wrong with Kannel.
