Amr, You're confusing things. Kannel creates a "virtual" file /cgi-bin/sendsms that has nothing to do with your regular web server (that listens on port 80, while kannel listens on the port you've configured on the kannel.conf file). You won't find the "sendsms" file anywhere in your path, but if you access the uri:
http://myhost:myport/cgi-bin/sendsms (Assuming that you use "localhost" or your host IP if you're accessing from another machine for "myhost" and the port configured on kannel.conf on "myport") You'll get a response from kannel. This is what the docs call "the sendsms interface". BTW, Kannel should NOT be placed in any web-accesible path. It's composed of a group of daemons/services that should run using an unprivileged user and out of web space. Please read the docs again if not sure.
