Hi,

Thanks Nikos,  following is the relevant output from the smsbox.log file:

2009-06-14 19:48:53 [10372] [2] DEBUG: HTTP: Creating HTTPClient for
`127.0.0.1'.
2009-06-14 19:48:53 [10372] [2] DEBUG: HTTP: Created HTTPClient area
0x814add0.
2009-06-14 19:48:53 [10372] [3] INFO: smsbox: Got HTTP request

2009-06-14 19:48:53 [10372] [3] DEBUG: HTTP: Destroying HTTPClient for
`127.0.0.1'.

I also added the user-allowed-ip and user-deny-ip in the config files.  My
config looks like this now:

group = smsbox
bearerbox-host = localhost
sendsms-port = 10000
log-file = "/var/log/kannel/smsbox.log

group = sendsms-user
username = brendan
password = 1234
user-allow-ip = "127.0.0.1;localhost"
user-deny-ip = "*.*.*.*"




Best regards,

Brendan


Hi,

If that doesn't work, post smsbox application logs with problem, at maximum
verbosity:

smsbox -v 0 <conffile>

group = sendsms-user
username = brendan
password = 1234

When I try send an SMS from the http interface (lynx -dump

localhost:10000/cgi-bin/sendsms?username=brendan&password=1234&to=2783647731
9&text=hello)

I get:
/etc/kannel$Β Β Β Authorization failed for sendsms
I have triple checked the credentials and IP address allows, but to no
avail.Β What other reasons are there for the 403 (authorization failed)?

Check the username and the password for the sendsms-user, depending
the editor that you
used to set the configuration, there might be characters that are not
printable.

BR, Jovan
