Your bearerbox and smsbox logs both contain similar error messages:

bearerbox:
2010-05-05 15:19:44 [4251] [0] INFO: HTTP: Opening server at port 13000.
2010-05-05 15:19:44 [4251] [0] ERROR: bind failed

2010-05-05 15:19:44 [4251] [0] ERROR: Missing wapbox-port variable, cannot start WAP

smsbox:
2010-05-05 17:02:11 [5177] [0] INFO: HTTP: Opening server at port 13001.
2010-05-05 17:02:11 [5177] [0] ERROR: bind failed
2010-05-05 17:02:11 [5177] [0] ERROR: System error 98: Address already in use

In the context of a bind() system call, "address" includes the port numbers too.

In other words, you seem to be trying to configure kannel to run in ports that are already occupied by something else. (It could even be another copy of kannel that is already running.)

The later PANIC messages are probably a consequence of these errors.

In the case of smsbox, there is no question about it: the smsbox is panicking because it could not open a HTTP port.

The panic message in the bearerbox log indicates assertion failure, i.e. "this condition should always be true at this point, but now it isn't". The failed assertion is in source code file 'gwlib/socket.c', so it's very likely something about the availability of network ports... probably just those ports that were reported as being "already in use" earlier!

Your wapbox log file was totally empty. The cause is obvious in the bearerbox log file:

2010-05-05 15:19:44 [4251] [0] ERROR: Missing wapbox-port variable, cannot start WAP

As the wapbox-port option is commented out in the kannel.conf file, the bearerbox (the main component of Kannel) does not even try to start it, so the wapbox log remains empty.

hi ivan
i changed the port and it kind of works but i still have another message error , it can't connect to the server with bearerbox :
2010-05-06 09:30:56 [32650] [6] ERROR: connect failed
2010-05-06 09:30:56 [32650] [6] ERROR: System error 110: Connection timed out

2010-05-06 09:30:56 [32650] [6] ERROR: SMPP[smsgateway]: Couldn't connect to SMS center (retrying in 10 seconds).

I think it's a serve issue


in smsbox i have an error:

Hi Ivan
i forgot to send you the outputs

[Neostatic_1]

Hi Matti
i have change the sendsms port to 13013

but when i want to send an sms via the
http://localhost:13013/cgi-bin/sendsms

i have this message :
autirization failed for sendsms

how can i resolve this ..?

Thanks alot

[Matti_Kurkela]

In your other thread, your configuration included a sendsms-user group with username "bas".

If you still have this sendsms-user configured, this URL would send a message "Hello world" to phone number 0123456:

http://localhost:13013/cgi-bin/sendsms?
username=bas&password=bas&to=0123456&text=Hello+world

Note that the entire SMS is in the URL.

Kannel will send back a very simple page that tells you if the message was immediately transferred to the SMSC, queued for later delivery (= SMSC is busy) or rejected.

This is the appropriate part of the Kannel documentation:
