playSMS Install and Upgrade

Below content is copy-pasted from playSMS Book Project.

Install playSMS using install script install-playsms.sh

  1. Login as root

  2. Extract playSMS package and go there (For example in /usr/local/src)

    tar -zxf playsms-1.0.tar.gz -C /usr/local/src
ls -l /usr/local/src/
cd /usr/local/src/playsms-1.0/

  3. Copy install.conf.dist to install.conf and edit install.conf

    Read install.conf and make changes to suit your system configuration

    cp install.conf.dist install.conf
vi install.conf

  4. Run installer script

    ./install-playsms.sh

  5. Configure rc.local to get playsmsd started on boot

    Look for rc.local on /etc, /etc/init.d, /etc/rc.d/init.d

    When you found it edit that rc.local and put:

    /usr/local/bin/playsmsd start

    on the bottom of the file (before exit if theres an exit command).

    This way playsmsd will start automatically on boot.

Note:

  • After successful installation, please run command ps ax and see if playsmsd is running

    ps ax | grep playsms
4069 pts/12  S    0:00 /usr/bin/php -q /usr/local/bin/playsmsd schedule
4071 pts/12  S    0:00 /usr/bin/php -q /usr/local/bin/playsmsd dlrssmsd
4073 pts/12  S    0:00 /usr/bin/php -q /usr/local/bin/playsmsd recvsmsd
4075 pts/12  S    0:00 /usr/bin/php -q /usr/local/bin/playsmsd sendsmsd

  • Run several checks

    playsmsd status
playsmsd check

  • Stop here and review your installation steps when playsmsd is not running

  • Consider to ask question in playSMS forum when you encountered a problem

  • If all seems to be correctly installed you may try to login from web browser

    URL                    : http://[your web server IP]/playsms/
Default admin username : admin
Default admin password : admin

I managed to fix it based on this help from https://github.com/composer/composer/issues/3346 last tips. i.e copy the certificate as in the url
