Example 1

Example kannel.conf for SMPP

For example, this is what I have

  • 1 server
    • Installed Ubuntu server 18.04
    • Installed playSMS 1.4.3 and latest Kannel from apt-get
    • Installation for playSMS 1.4.3 done following instructions in playsms.org
    • Installation for Kannel just like first post in this thread
    • playSMS and Kannel are on the same server
  • playSMS URL is accessible only from https://sms.example.com
    • Meaning when you browse it then it will show playSMS login box
    • Usually means cannot access playSMS from http://localhost (or https://localhost)
    • So that means Kannel option for get-url is https://sms.example.com/plugin/gateway/kannel/geturl.php
    • Or, this is the same, https://sms.example.com/index.php?app=call&cat=gateway&plugin=kannel&access=geturl
  • Provider give this for SMPP connection:
    • SMPP server host: sv78smpp.example.com
    • SMPP server port: 2715
    • SMPP username/system id: e1699
    • SMPP password: h239yf7n5csta6zg

And this is my final example kannel.conf

Example kannel.conf for SMPP, playSMS accessible from localhost

For example, this is what I have

  • 1 server
    • Installed Ubuntu server 18.04
    • Installed playSMS 1.4.3 and latest Kannel from apt-get
    • Installation for playSMS 1.4.3 done following instructions in playsms.org
    • Installation for Kannel just like first post in this thread
    • playSMS and Kannel are on the same server
  • playSMS URL is accessible only from http://localhost/playsms
    • Meaning when you browse it then it will show playSMS login box
    • That means Kannel option for get-url is http://localhost/playsms/plugin/gateway/kannel/geturl.php
    • Or, this is the same, http://localhost/playsms/index.php?app=call&cat=gateway&plugin=kannel&access=geturl
  • Provider give this for SMPP connection:
    • SMPP server host: sv78smpp.example.com
    • SMPP server port: 2715
    • SMPP username/system id: e1699
    • SMPP password: h239yf7n5csta6zg
