Integrate playsms to API gateway only

playSMS Help
1

Hello everyone,
I have installed play sms and created an sms gateway from my country kenya. This is a restful api and doesn’t need modems…
I have also added the gateway as SMSC and set as default under configurations.
I have created one outgoing sms route with below details:

User: Administrator (admin) - Administrator
Destination name: World
Prefix: 254
SMSC: africastalking (my gateway)

I have also change issendsmsd in config sile to false otherwise is set to true, it only saves sms to queue and no api call is made to my gateway. *someone pls explain what “issendsmsd” means.
I am not able to send sms, the error message being: “System error has occured”
Pleas help i am very new to playsms and i dont know if there is some configurations i am missing.
bellow are the logs when i try to send sms:

You are not using sendsmsd, so sendsms() will directly execute sendsmsd(), you should see more logs after this line

Ok… should i set issendsmsd to true then?

4

it depends, do you need it or not ?

normal operation is using sendsmsd, when sending alot of SMS it will be better using sendsmsd, sendsmsd is part of playsms daemon (playsmsd)

but right now more important is to look at the log after the last log paste above

I have pasted all the log in the file. I cleared the file before sending and copied all its contests after sending

6

not sure what happened, but maybe time settings not handled properly when sending SMS from playSMS without sendsmsd had something to do with it

try to make sure the time settings in your server, please follow this:

after that test again

Ok, i have verified time setting, everything looks fine. However, may i ask if it is possible install playsms on standard shared hosting for use on a gateway that uses restful API e.g in my case.
i.e. only running the php code without other installations.

not ideal, may not working properly

I suggest to get a VPS instead
