Read debian/control file, section Source, tags Build-Depends: and
Build-Depends-Indep:
There you'll see what packages you need to build kannel.

SMPP (or any SMS protocol) does not work like SMTP (unfortunately).
I would like to be corrected but I think that is not possible.

iBur, if you allowed to send alphanumerics in from field you could try
something like '9696 Offer' and try to answer from the phone to see what
will happen. Just an idea which I would like to try myself but I don't
have access to SMSC which allows me to send alphanumerics in from field.

I know all that but the SMSC providers does *not allows* me to send

I agree here with you. It would be better to have packages compiled with
support for particular DBs (and not all of them in single package) and
let user/admin to choose which one s/he would like to install.
But this question belongs to debian-devel (or others) list but not to
kannel users.

Send your kannel.conf and bearerbox.log files.

Your wvdial.conf and log are just to assure you that the modem works
with machine. They are not (much) useful for kannel troubleshooting.

And (of course) read kannel userguide. It helps a lot.

I also tested with Kannel from SVN (few months old) and I got (also)

I don't use sqlbox, just smsbox->bearerbox.

Kannel supports most phones which are AT command set (so called Hayes
command set) with extensions for mobile commands.

I tried with quite non-standard phones and always managed to make them
to work with Kannel. Just learn how to use minicom and find on the Net
documentation with command set for particular phone and try to configure
it manually, and then with Kannel. Most will work.

OT comment:
A lot of people asks the same questions at least once every week in this
mailing list without trying to invest little time in the search engines
or use common sense about their phones and expect that other people
should resolve their problems.
Most of them don't even try to read userguide.

How do you know it is fork?

Better solution could be not to request delivery report when sending

It is explained in userguide, section "Running SMS Gateway", parameter
_to_
 
to   phone number list 
  Phone number of the receiver. To send to multiple receivers, separate
  each entry with space (' ', '+' url-encoded) - but note that this can
  be deactivated via sendsms-chars in the 'smsbox' group.
---

I think it is not possible to send to more than ten MSISDNs in one
request, but I'm not sure.


BTW, is it so hard to read and understand userguide?

I built Kannel SVN version a week ago for Debian testing/unstable (with
sqlite3 support only) for i386 and amd64 architectures. If someone wants
to host them somewhere for users who do not have enough experience with
building software from sources I can upload all the packages (binary,
development, extra and documentation).

It works in production on the squeeze (testing) Debian distribution
without any problem. I presume it should work on current stable
and testing Ubuntu.

I also debianized opensmmpbox and built it for amd64 architecture (but
I could build i386 version because I have development chroots all
around) so it could be useful for people with less experience.

If someone have resources (and good will) to host these packages drop
me a note, please.

Nice idea. I can build postgresql and mysql versions to.

Though I don't know how to upload it there. Must I have account or

OK. Tnx. I will do that.

Stable release (1.4.3) is already in Debian testing/unstable (and
Ubuntu, I think).
Debian is reluctant to accept development versions of software so I
usually build Kannel (and other important packages) from source.

And because current Debian testing in "frozen" state I think that the
new stable release (as Alex announced on devel list) have a little
chance to go to next Debian stable. I know that is not best situation
because I know that the development version of Kannel is stable and
deserves to be in the stable distro's (be it Debian or other).

Long story short, I would like to help people who do not have experience
to build Kannel (and opensmppbox) from sources, to have development (and
real soon now, stable) version "out of the box", because I did it
already for my own use.

Few days ago I talked about uploading SVN version Debian/Ubuntu
packages to Kannel site. I hope it will be soon. :)

Drop me a note in private e-mail and I will put it somewhere on the net
so you could download it. Packages are for Debian testing but I hope it
should work on the current stable Ubuntu.

Should it be? Where did you read that the message which are sent over
HTTP interface are stored in any database?

They are not stored by design.

You are welcome. 

Kannel can be compiled without support for any SQL backend. In that
case if the message is sent over HTTP interface, kannel cannot store
it in SQL because it don't have "knowledge" how to do that.
If the message is sent over HTTP interface then sender (which is
usually some program or script) should store sent message in the some
sort of database, be it SQL, DBM or simple flat file.

SQLBox is just add-on for kannel which can be used instead of HTTP
interface to send messages. As an SQL box, it stores sent messages to
another table (what is very good, for logging) as you have noticed.
But that is done by SQLBox and not by bearerbox (the kannel core).

I must tell that I don't know much about SQLBox because I never had
necessity to use it.

If your Kannel runs on Linux then it should be some of ttyUSB? devices,
/dev/ttyUSB0 probably.

Netstat is your friend:

It is not normal but it possible if you know what you do.
It is possible to have more kannel (bearerbox, smsbox ...) instances
running on the same machine but that requires some knowledge about
system administration and kannel configuration.

It is not for beginners for sure, IMHO.

Yes, you are right. I overlooked what the OP wrote in his post and I

Kannel doesn't support sending "out of band" AT command to modem, AFAIK.
But that question gave me idea to implement it through the HTTP admin
interface or maybe through the separate interface, although I'm not
sure how much it would be useful.

According to SMPP version 3.4 time can be absolute or relative. Absolute
time is default.
How it is implemented in particular software is another question. I
think that the kannel uses absolute time, at least for SMPP.

Here is comment from gw/smsc/smsc_smpp.c

N.B. It is strange a little bit that you can write "Best Lightweight

The easy way is to set http server server with your application wich
process incoming SMS. You then define get-url parameter in kannel.conf
to send GET HTTP request to your application (cgi-script).

It is explained (in not so clear language) in section "SMS-service
configurations" in Kannel's userguide.

It is supposed to do just that. It is called split-suffix so is adds
suffix at the split point.

split-chars are characters in the message at which split is allowed but
not forced. And the split characters are not removed from the final
message, AFAIK.

There are other protocols to connect your system with the carrier not
only SMPP but SMPP is most used. Some other are UCP/EMI, CIMD, OIS and
even HTTP and SOAP based services. They are described in userguide.
Carriers can be mobile operators but also SMS operators like Clickatel
and similar. Google, http://www.developershome.com/sms/  and userguide
are your friends.

Of course. You must set different ports in config files and use
different config files for each version.

Kannel use UTC time by default. If you want localtime you must
./configure it with --enable-localtime and recompile.

If you want to send sms through Kannel you must use /cgi-bin/sendsms or
configure it in the smsbox group with the sendsms-url parameter.

But, I see that your sendsms-url ends in .php so I think that you want
to use some PHP code to preprocess message and then (from that script)
send it to the Kannel's sendsms-url. Right?

Then you can use default (/cgi-bin/sendsms) and from your script send
sms over it. Easy and simple.

I presume that you have Kannel connected to two SMSCs. Right?

Set the get-url in sms-service group over which you receive sms to
point to your script.
Do whatever you want with the received sms and then send it to the
Kannel via (default, or change it if you prefer) sendsms-url
(/cgi-bin/sendsms).

You can add smsc id parameter to /cgi-bin/sendsms if you want to send
sms over preferred SMSC.

Yes, but I think you did that already. Example:

http://localhost:80/myscripts/sendctrlsms.php?time=%t&from=%q&to=%Q&smscid=%i&charcode=%C&coding=%c&text=%a

Look at port value in the URL. Set it to port where your web server
listen. And IP address/name where is web server is actually works.

You know that you must have HTTP server running and accepting HTTP
request from Kannel configured "via" get-url parameter.

Yes. But if you like to change it you can.

You set parameters in the URL. Look below.

No, export is not needed.
From your script you send message to Kannel calling /cgi-bin/sendsms
with parameters according to your will. Example:
http://localhost:13013/cgi-bin/sendsms?username=me&password=pass&to=123456789&from=987654321&smsc=preferred_smsc_id&text=Test&dlr-mask=31

There are more parameters, read the userguide for detailed list.

You should check Kannel log files to see if the message arrived to
Kannel and does Kannel tried to send it to your web server.

Then, if it is there does the Kannel connects to your web server or does
your server accepts HTTP request from Kannel, or the access from Kannel
is blocked by web server configuration or firewall.

> Can anyone point me to what I am doing wrong??

You should read *carefully* userguide. There you will find answers to
all your questions. And (as I suggested to you earlier) read
*carefully* the
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
if you didn't already.

This advice would be useful for most subscribers to users@kannel.org
list.

Dealing with rudeness

Much of what looks like rudeness in hacker circles is not intended to
give offense. Rather, it's the product of the direct,
cut-through-the-bullshit communications style that is natural to people
who are more concerned about solving problems than making others feel
warm and fuzzy.

Also, when replying to someones mail you should include quoted relevant
part to provide context.

Kannel, if configured properly, for sure will try to GET URL defined
with get-url parameter.

Check your configuration. Increase log level and then again check log
files. Post relevant part from log file if you don't understand it. Post
your complete configuration to the list and maybe someone of the
experienced users will notice mistakes (if they exists).

I noticed in some of your previous mail (but because you did not include
relevant part of thread I cannot refer here at it) you put dlr-url in
get-url parameter. Why? Your script should put that parameter to the
sendsms-url.

Kannel is pretty good piece of software and in many years it worked for
many people/organizations very well. Yes, documentation could be
improved but with careful reading it quite useable.

You must be more careful when reading technical documents.

Excerpt from the userguide:
---
 Configuration file syntax

A configuration file consists of groups of configuration variables.
Groups are separated by empty lines, and each variable is defined on
its own line. Each group in Kannel configuration is distinguished with
a group variable. Comments are lines that begin with a number sign (#)
and are ignored (they don't, for example, separate groups of variables).

Keywords are: "Groups are separated by empty line"

[ OK, we started a war, :-) ]

OP question was about best Linux distribution for Kannel and not easier
to use.

Because Ubuntu is based on Debian we could easily conclude that the
Debian is best. I don't claim that the Debian is the best although I
think so, because I know it best and I'm using it more than fifteen
years.

Alejandro and seikath tell us that they uses Centos and that is the best
distribution for them (I presume).

You are using Ubuntu (I presume, again) and it is the best for you.

Some people use RH (with paid support) and that is the best solution for
them.

So, there is no best distribution, just the good ones.

Which Debian release you run?

I have built Kannel 1.5.0 (not svn) for Debian squeeze (current stable)
and for i386 and amd64 architectures only. If it suits your needs send
me a mail and I will put it somewhere for download.

Ubuntu is Debian derivative so it is very similar and admin tools are
the same. 

And Debian is stable as a rock. One server with Kannel which I maintain,
right now have uptime of 606 days (should I announce when it comes to
666 ;-> ), i.e. works 606 days without reboot.

Here it is:
# uptime
23:19:55 up 606 days, 15:18,  2 users,  load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00

I don't like to argue with you or anyone else but there is section
"Compiling the gateway" in userguide where it is explained how to
compile Kannel.

I built it to be as close as possible to official Debian package because
I don't want to 'surprise' users/admins during upgrade from stable.

sqlbox (0.7.2 version) is shipped with Debian stable. I have made sqlbox
deb from SVN package just for test but didn't posted it because I don't
know how it works because I never tried to use or play with it.

I built Opensmppbox deb packages few months age for me to play with it
but didn't posted it to Alex because I'm not sure how SVN version is
good to put on Kannel site for download.

Something already is bounded to port 13000. Probably you have bearerbox
running and you trying to start another one (or more) instance.

Interesting idea :). But it is useless (at least) and can lead to
problems.

Actually, that can be cause of your problem. First instance of bearerbox
binds to port 13000 and other instances cannot bind and "bark" to log
files.

Well, you can setup kannel however you want but as I wrote in previous
mail it can lead to problems if you configure it in non-canonical way.

Chapter 3 of userguide says:

Configuring the gateway 



   The configuration file can be divided into three parts: bearerbox
   configurations, smsbox configurations and wapbox configurations.
   Bearerbox part has one 'core' group and any used SMS center groups,
   while wapbox part has only one wapbox group. In smsbox part there is
   one smsbox group and then number of sms-service and sendsms-user
   groups.


Notice words: "Bearerbox part has one 'core' group and any used SMS
center groups".

I just looked in the Debian package I made for lenny and noticed that it
has two 'core' group sections. I never use default config so it stays
unnoticed for years :)

However I noticed that the bearerbox uses last 'core' group section in
config file and "ignores" previous one.

Could you check how many instances of bearerbox running on
your machine and check does all ports you specified in config are
actually listening?

Looks like I made mistake here. Looks like bearerbox uses last core
group section.

You cannot have multiple instances of bearerbox listening to the same
port (13000 in your case) on the same machine.

I don't like to argue with you (or anyone else ) but as Nikos pointed
out that is *not* possible. On the one (non-virtual) machine only one
process/thread can open one port to listen to.

For novice users (most of them don't know how to configure && make) it
is easier to use package which comes with distribution. And lot of
novice users does not read userguide, what is obvious from questions
which are repeated week after week on this list (look questions below).

udev rules can be configured to execute scripts/program when the udev
receive notification from kernel. Script can restart kannel when it
detects that USB modem connected.

I don't have that for modem/phone or kannel but here is what I use for
mounting mp4 player (line from /etc/udev/rules.d/local.rules):
SUBSYSTEMS=="scsi", ATTRS{model}=="Chip PMP USBDISK", NAME="katmp1", 
GROUP="plugdev", RUN+="/usr/local/sbin/mount_kat1.sh"

and the "/usr/local/sbin/mount_kat1.sh" script is really simple:
#!/bin/sh
/bin/mount -o group=plugdev /dev/katmp1 /media/katmp

That's just idea. I hope you know the rest.

The solution can be to use different modems/phones with different USB
id's.

Or maybe there are modems/phones with serial id's.

I bought Huawei E1550 few days ago for less than 50EUR (about 40USD)
with (so called) DATA card and 3GB prepaid Internet traffic.
It works under Linux in UMTS net. Didn't tried it with kannel yet.

If that character isn't mistyped that program can't work.

Binary 00010001 is 17 in decimal.
So set dlr-mask=17

It is explained in userguide.

It is ok. You asked for DLR for two events (10001b) where bit 1 means
"Delivered to phone" and bit 5 means "Non-Delivered to SMSC".

Obviously, your message *is* "Delivered to SMSC" so kannel didn't
generate "Non-Delivered to SMSC" report.

When the message *is* delivered to phone (and SMSC informs kannel about
that) kannel generates "Delivered to phone" delivery report which is
type=1.

If the kannel relies on not standardized format then that _is_ the bug

Obviously, it _is_ bug if the format is not standardized and kannel
fails. If kannel parses non-standard text it should not fail in case the
text is not in the format it expects.

I didn't yet seen a different format than "a typical example" (except
one null terminated), too.

I can patch (and adapt source for my needs) but there are a lot of
people who can't do that. They will see that as bug.

Did you tried to put validity parameter with short time (1 minute)?
I'm using pid=64 for (so called) SMS Push and SMSC responds with
Absent_subscriber code in case it cannot deliver message to subscriber.

I looked in smsc_smpp.c and it does not seems that it is to complicated
to change it to use relative instead of absolute time. But I cannot test
it because I do not have any environment where I could play with it.

I don't have enough time to write a howto guide about compiling Kannel.
It is described in userguide.

But it looks like the only two lines in smsc_smpp.c should be changed in
1.5.0 version.

lines 922 and 923:
 struct tm tm = gw_gmtime(time(NULL) + validity * 60);
pdu->u.submit_sm.validity_period = 
octstr_format("%02d%02d%02d%02d%02d%02d000+",

could be changed to:
 struct tm tm = gw_gmtime(msg->sms.validity * 60);
pdu->u.submit_sm.validity_period = 
octstr_format("%02d%02d%02d%02d%02d%02d000R",

But keep in mind that is from my head, I didn't checked anything
actually.
Anyway, I would start from there.

I remember but because I don't need relative validity I didn't tried
your patch and I forgot to mention it to Hamza.

I'm not against your patch but again I don't need it so I don't care.

I did that even three times. I even intended to release one of the SMS

SMS parking application is just system by which users of parking payment
service uses SMS to pay parking tickets (usually on street parking) for
vehicles.

Such applications does not have much in common with Kannel (or
especially with Kannels mailing lists). Kannel can be used as very
good SMS gateway, but SMS could be received/sent by other methods, i.e.
HTTP, custom TCP/UDP/IP messaging or anything else.

Such applications is specific to business logic employed for particular
parking service and they are not simple send/receive SMS and put it in
the some database. There are a lot of work behind the stage.

Very short and incomplete description of one of such applications can be
seen on the my company WEB site at:
http://www.arvanta.net/simsms.html
(screenshots are in Serbian)

That is really short description but for a Kannel users list (were such
discussions aren't appropriate) is enough, IMHO. But, is anyone wants I
can write a lot about it because I work in that market for about six (or
maybe more) years and Kannel was/is really valuable element of some of
the systems we developed.

I don't think that you should give up.
Thoroughly study userguide, think about your configuration, carefully
read log files. After that ask question in mailing list providing
relevant data. Be patient. Solution will be found at the end (not before
;) ), probably.

I'm not sure but I think that the libmysqlclient10 quite outdated so it
is not in the Debian/Ubuntu repository.

Kannel works quite well with libmysqlclient16 from the 1.4.3, I think.

No. libmyasqlclient10 is outdated in Debian/Ubuntu. It could be found in
archive: http://archive.debian.org/debian/pool/main/m/mysql/

I'm not sure how is wise to give advice to user who does not know much
about their system to go and play with package archives.

Check your e-mail client software and see if it have "reply to list" (or
something similar) option.

Kannel mailing lists works quite well with "normal" e-mail clients.

I'm subscribed to different mailing lists for more than fifteen years
and I don't have to search google about that subject, IMHO.

Agreed. But, when some random user ask how to reply "canonical way" I
don't think it is rude to tell about "reply to list" option if MUA
support that.

There are many reasons to build software package using distribution
package tools, be it dpkg-buildpackage, rpm-build (I don't know exact
name) or package builder for other distributions or OS-es.

First is separation between development and production environment. I
don't like to install development tools (compiler, dev libs, etc...) on
production systems.

Another reason is install/remove/upgrade "clean path" using
distribution's package managers.

And there are other reasons for sure.

Which Kannel version you trying to build? I built 1.5.0 for
Debian/Ubuntu (i386 and amd64 arch) and files can be downloaded from
https://redmine.kannel.org/projects/kannel/files

If you trying to build SVN version then I can't help right now. I'm
working on it these days and I hope I will finish it this week.

You should add
group = core
to top of your opensmppbox.conf file.

I found on new rules file for Debian version at:
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/kannel.git;a=blob_plain;f=debian/rules;h=771f863070e9eedb9e255eda05eaabd81dce7afe;hb=HEAD
 
This rules file is rewritten to CDBS and it works.
I don't have to invent "warm water" ;-)

I compiled SVN Kannel without problem.

Sorry, my mistake.
SVN opensmppbox uses "opensmppbox" string for group definition.
In older version it was just "smppbox", IIRC.

And, opensmppbox-port is correct keyword.

It would be better to use e-mail client which know how to reply to
mailing list. And not only you but most of the people subscribed to
this list.

Then you should complain to the Yahoo and not this list.

If all the people of the world use improper Yahoo mail (or any other)
software for mailing list which cannot handle such simple option, that
will not make it proper. It does not work. Period.

But, this question is discussed many times in this list and I think we
should terminate this useless thread. :)

I don't complain to Yahoo mail. I don't use it for mail.

You can create mailing list and set it however you want.

This is discussed many times (as I said in previous mail) and mailing
list moderator decided to set it to "proper mode".

Re: Wrong setting on Kannel Mailing List?

A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text.

A: Top-posting.
Q: What is the most annoying thing on usenet and in e-mail?

Moderators of these lists have a lot uninformed subscribers, IMHO.

What change you want to propose? Reply-To field?

It will hurt "proper" mode of the list.
Yahoo mail client is broken. Complain to them.

Please read following URL:

http://marc.merlins.org/netrants/listreplyto.html

and docs to which it points.

If it "runs on every mail clients" including every _broken_ mail client
that means it will not run on any mail client.
When you say "every mail client" you think your mail client. If
moderator set Reply-To header, sooner or later someone will complain
that it does not work with their mail client.
