SMS Server Tools 3 installation from source on Ubuntu

In this tutorial we will be using SMS Server Tools 3 version 3.1.15 source package.

Here we have 10 steps that you need to follow one step at a time and in order.

Please stop, do not continue to the next step, and post questions in playSMS Forum when you experienced difficulties or found error during following this manual.

Let's start.

  1. Make sure you have root access

    sudo su -

  2. Install required packages for building SMS Server Tools 3 from source in Ubuntu

    apt-get install build-essential

  3. Get source package and extract it

    Download smstools3-3.1.15.tar.gz from http://smstools3.kekekasvi.com and save it in /usr/local/src

    cd /usr/local/src
wget -c http://smstools3.kekekasvi.com/packages/smstools3-3.1.15.tar.gz
tar -zxvf smstools3-3.1.15.tar.gz

  4. Enter the extracted source codes directory and execute make to compile followed by installing smstools3

    cd smstools3
make
make install

  5. Create required directories

    mkdir -p /var/log/sms/stats
mkdir -p /var/spool/sms/{checked,failed,incoming,outgoing,sent,modem1,modem2}

    Note:

    • The directory names are case-sensitive

  6. Setup SMS Server Tools 3 spool directories owner and permission

    In this example your webserver's user and group is www-data

    chown www-data:www-data -R /var/spool/sms

    You can also set files and folders permission to world-writable

    chmod 777 -R /var/spool/sms

  7. Get example of smsd.conf and copy to /etc/

    mv /etc/smsd.conf /etc/smsd.conf.dist
wget -c https://raw.githubusercontent.com/antonraharja/playSMS/master/contrib/smstools/smsd.conf
cp smsd.conf /etc/

    Note:

    • Before continue to the next step you have to take a look at /etc/smsd.conf and edit the file accordingly
    • You may need to adjust queues and modems options
    • Mostly you do not need to change other options but queues and modems
    • Do not change the file or directory paths

    Important:

    • Modem name must be the same as SMSC name in playSMS

  8. Run SMS Server Tools 3

    /etc/init.d/sms3 start

  9. Verify if SMS Server Tools 3 is running

    ps ax | grep -v grep | grep smsd

    Monitor SMS Server Tools 3 log file:

    tail -f /var/log/smsd.log
