Since this post seems to be so popular, let me advertise a nice alternative to the SMS-Kannel solution. I’ve been using ASPSMS (a small specialized swiss firm) to send local and foreign (international) SMS with great reliability, functionality and reasonable costs. Perhaps it saves you the hassle of installing and configuring Kannel..

I’ve been using ASPSMS (a small specialized swiss firm) to send local and foreign (international) SMS with great reliability, functionality and reasonable costs.

I did run into a few problems trying to compile kannel 1.4.0 with MySQL (version 4.1) support for deliver status reporting (DLR). You get an error like make: *** [gw/dlr_mysql.o] Error 1.
The solution is to patch the code to support MySQL version 4.x with this patch (original source). Do the following:
- patch -p1 < kannel-mysql4.1.patch
- CFLAGS=”-I/usr/include/mysql” ./configure –with-mysql –with-mysql-dir=/usr –enable-start-stop-daemon
- make && make bindir=/usr/local install
Be sure to create a valid config file (see the docu for more info).
- bearerbox -d /etc/kannel.conf
- smsbox -d /etc/kannel.conf
Test your installation by hiting this url:
http://localhost:13013/cgi-bin/sendsms?username=kannel&password=***&to=079***&text=test&from=test
Things to know:
- You need a SMSC gateway or a mobile phone to use kannel
- by not using the -d option you can see all the DEBUG messages, it does help you out in some situations..
- Use the XML/Post combination instead of the HTTP/GET method for a production system

let me know..
Obviously your kannel.conf file is missing! I think you’ll find a default one either in your source dir, /usr/local/etc, /etc or wherever you installed kannel. Did you specify any special paths with ./configure?
i’m try install again:
$CFLAGS=”-I/usr/include/mysql” ./configure –with-prefix=/usr/local \
–with-mysql –with-mysql-dir=/usr –enable-start-stop-daemon
$make && make bindir=/usr/local install
$ls /etc/kannel.conf
/etc/kannel.conf
# check bearbox
$/usr/local/sbin/bearerbox -v 3 /etc/kannel.conf
# log

Ok, phil..thank you.. is running…
Hey buddy! I’m glad you were able to compile it. What does your application look like behind kannel? Just wondering
i’m use kannel + playsms for SMS Autorespond and Dayli Report Oil in Vessels.
sms outgoing is OK. But, this time i cannot received SMS from any number phone. this a playsms issue not kannel.
any idea ?
I’m from indonesia
If I wasn’t already a father, It’d tell you you could have my first born. Darn, I’ve been hitting my head against this and not even the official kannel website says anything about this …. the closest I came to finding out about the patch was through Mbuni’s installation notes, but then I wasn’t able to find any patch. Thanks a lot man. You saved our day!
