Kannel Host ------------ Kannel 1.1.6 Cobalt Linux release 6.0 (Shinkansen-Decaf) Kernel 2.2.16C32_III on an i586 libxml2-2.4.23-1
Application Host ---------------- RedHat linux 8 Coldfusion MX Hi, I've just *inherited* a dormant kannel 1.1.6 server and my company just recently produced a bulk sms platform. It is receiving and sending out SMSes flawlessly but as a localhost. Currently, the sms platform location lies in another server (App server). But when testing the push sms in the App server, this error comes out: lynx -dump "http://[Kannel host IP]:13131/cgi-bin/sendsms?username=spiderman&password=spider&to=0122821854&text=Test+Kannel"; Looking up [Kannel host IP]:13131 [Kannel host IP]:13131 Making HTTP connection to [Kannel host IP]:13131 Alert!: Unable to connect to remote host. lynx: Can't access startfile http://[Kannel host IP]:13131/cgi-bin/sendsms?username=[user]&password=[password]&to=[phoneno]&text=Test+Kannel The Kannel server lies behind a gateway and the port 13131 is not telnetable from the App host. I even tried commenting out the box-deny-ip. What should i configure (kannel or server) to allow remote access of Kannel especially in the Push SMS department? Any pointers are greatly appreciated. Thank you very much for the time.
