Kannel starting but no ports being opened

playSMS Help

Dear All/Experts,

I have installed kannel on Ubuntu server. I checked the working of the process and it gives me the following

kannel.service - LSB: SMS and WAP gateway

However, when I check the ports

netstat -tupln

I dont’ get any of the ports being opened. Please help

admin-allow-ip = “127.0.0.1”
smsbox-port = 14002

Firewall maybe ? disable and restart kannel to test.

Dear Steven,

I could eventually solve the very issue. However, I could not send/receive sms. Please help me. The playsms and Kannel is somehow connected. Let me share your the following/configurations:

SMSC rejected login to transmit, code 0x0000000f (Invalid System ID).
check with your service provider seems like an authentication error.
also check that you can connect from your server to the smpp provider as most of them have firewalls.

Dear Steven,

Thank You. I could solve the very issue by defining transceiver-mode=yes in kannel.conf file.

However, I still get the issue of messages from playsms not sending to the number. The status changes to ‘yellow’ saying its ‘pending’ then to ‘red’ as ‘failed’. I am sharing you the logs as follows:

kannel is pushing the data to playSMS, but it contains no message (no text), the variable a is the message, and its empty

geturl is incoming message

btw please quote the log properly, use markdown tags

Yes, its correct.

Again please quote your pasted log with markdown or commonmark http://commonmark.org/help/ read the code block

Please set the $core_config['logstate'] to 3 in config.php (default is 2), and then playsmsd restart

Dear Anton,

I have set the logstate to 3 as suggested. Please find the logs below. I am not sure if the format you wanted is right or wrong, since I am newbie to markdown

looks good, that is what I want, you quote the log with backtick.

ok, first, please remove the sandbox forward to URL, and then try to send SMS.

is the system in production ? I mean if you want to test sending an SMS if possible turn of the incoming first, so that your log file will be cleaner to read and easier to understand and focus

Dear Anton,

I have removed the forward to URL. Please see the logs below. Well ! The system is production.

Your system works as expectec, its just a matter of configuration

Last log above is about incoming SMS, they’re coming in and saved in sandbox, no services handling them so you need to configure features

Dear Anton,

Thank you once again. Well ! but when I try to send sms from playsms to any number, its seen as failed after staying as ‘pending’ for some time. If you could help me sort this out.

And another thing, when I sent sms to the short code, I get the reply 'empty message from the service provider". How do I sort this out and set a customized message saying " the service is currently offline, etc etc " ?

Regards

16

Dear Anton,

Any good news? The issues with respect to sms seen as ‘pending’ in playsms. The help will be appreciated as I could not find the ‘root cause’ for a couple of days now.

Thank you.

HI I am Arjun I solved many problems of kannel users and playsms users

my skype id is ‘adev09@gmail.com’
ping me at India time 10am to 7pm

Kannel is very simple gateway

18

HI, team.
For some reason my kannel instalation do not run automaticly the smsbox daemon. I spend a lot of time without know that smsbox was off. I runned smsbox -v 1 and bearerbox -v 1 and all my configuration works. You must to see in the admin page a daemon running smsbox under 13013 like:
Box connections:
smsbox:(none), IP 127.0.0.1 (0 queued), (on-line 0d 0h 49m 22s)
Then you must define a user and password and point the playsms to this port via kannel plugin.
Now I need to slow down the kannel queue to my smpp server or playsms queue. My sms provider has active a very restrictive sms per second. Any ideas how to modelate the timming between playsms-kannel and then kannel-smsgateway? Iḿ making testing with throughput = 0.5 in kannel config.
Thanks in advance!

it will be good if you mention your fees as well in the forum , it will save time ,as I came to know after wasting too much time that he needs 50$ to help in configuring smpp settings.
