Error when starting kannel

[Eric Magutu]

Hi,
 I am running ubuntu and this is my kannel.conf:


group = core
admin-port = 13000
admin-password = bar
#status-password = foo
#admin-deny-ip = ""
admin-allow-ip = "*.*.*.*"
log-file = "/tmp/kannel.log"
log-level = 0
access-log = "access.log"
#http-proxy-host = "127.0.0.1"
#http-proxy-port = 8080
#http-proxy-exceptions = " 127.0.0.1"
# Smsbox related
smsbox-port = 13001
#box-deny-ip = "*.*.*.*"
box-allow-ip = "127.0.0.1"
#unified-prefix = "00358,0"
#white-list = "http://127.0.0.1/white-list.txt"
#black-list = "http://127.0.0.1/black-list.txt"
#store-file = " kannel.store"




I am getting the following errors when restarting kannel:
 sudo /etc/init.d/kannel restart
Stopping WAP gateway: wapbox bearerbox.
Starting WAP gateway: bearerbox/usr/sbin/run_kannel_box: open: /var/run/kannel/kannel_bearerbox.pid: No such file or directory
 wapbox/usr/sbin/run_kannel_box: open: /var/run/kannel/kannel_wapbox.pid: No such file or directory

 I had posted this message before and was told to create /var/run/kannel location manually. Everytime I restart my machine the dir dissapears.

Please help.
Eric
