Hi,
From now on you will have a working service. Repercussions are that you will
loose all other SMS in old queue along with the corrupted one. You could
recover those witth Alex's store tools (search mail archives). Recovery is
easier if you had spool store type to begin with.
BR,
Nikos

Subject: RESOLVED: Packet too short while unpacking Msg Error
Hello Everyone,
I managed to figure out how to go round this one. Am not sure what the
repercussion for my actions are but this is what I did. I changed the
store-type in kannel.conf to spool and then created a directory which I
named spool in var/log/kannel. I then restarted bearerbox, sqlbox and smsbox
and all seems well so far. Prior to changing the store-type and creating the
spool directory I had renamed the existing kannel.spool files and tested
bearerbox which created new files so you may want to explore that option as
well.
Thank you to all those that took time to help me resolve this problem.
Kind Regards,

Hi Nikos,
Thank you for your kind response, much appreciated.
I have 2 follow up questions. I have backup kannel.spool files and
apparently I have two files that were changed at the time am suspecting
bearerbox crashed. They are named kannel.spool.new changed at 12:45:35PM and
kannel.spool.bak changed at 12:45:11PM
I have this in my kannel.conf file which I believe is suppose to point to
the above file. However I do not have the kannel.spool file indicated on the
store-location file shown below. How do I restore or fix this the
kannel.spool file and what extension should it have if any?
store-type = file
store-location = "/usr/local/kannel/kannel.spool"
My second question is how do I access the store tools by Alex? Lastly,
you've talked about changing to spool store-type, is it just a matter of
changing they store type indicated above?
Again, am very grateful for your help!
Kind Regards,

Hi,
Your problem is with store-file corruption. You will have to restore from
backup, or fix using vi. Alex G has provided some store tools, maybe they
can help. Better switch to spool store type, it is much easier to handle and
recover from problems.
BR,
Nikos
