Hi We are on 2014.06.30. We configured 2 SMPP lines as Route1 and ROute2. We setup manually BackupForRoute=Route1 under SMPP section of Route1 in SMSGW.INI and tested it successfully. We notice that when we update the SMPP parameter on Route2, the entry for BackupForRoute is not saved and configuration changes. Mathew | |||

Hi Mathew, I'm not able to recreate this problem in current versions. I downgraded to 2014.06.30, and also could not recreate the problem. Does it make a difference if you exit the NowSMS configuration utility before manually updating SMSGW.INI? Then restart the config utility. That shouldn't be necessary, but I'm wondering if it might. -- Des NowSMS Support | |||

Des, NowSMS is installed on a 2012R2 Win server. We are making the changes using the "NowSMS configuration Utility" on the SMPP paramteres. We noticed that as soon as we save the configuration on the screen, and save it, the configuration of BackupForRoute is removed in "SMSGW.INI" file (i.e. not saved) irrespective of NowSMS running or not.

Hi Mathew, I'm still unable to recreate this problem. I have an SMPP connection with a BackupForRoute setting. I use the NowSMS configuration utility to change a setting (enable or disable async mode) and save it. BackupForRoute is still set in SMSGW.INI. I'm guessing that you are encountering a rights issue of some kind. Try this... Add BackupForRoute, save Start NowSMS config and exit. Is BackupForRoute gone? If it is, try running your text editor with admin privileges before making the update. Also try running NowSMS in admin mode. Under some scenarios, directory security in Windows can interfere and the editor or NowSMS get redirected in attempts to save SMSGW.INI, and instead of saving to the system directory, a ghost copy gets saved to: \Users\UserName\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\ (AppData is a hidden directory.) The NowSMS configuration utility will delete ghost copies at startup, so check for these copies after saving with your editor, and after updating with NowSMS. -- Des NowSMS Support | |||

Des, While validating your response, we noticed that this happens when the SMPP port is changed. Mathew | |||

Hi Mathew, That would explain it. I can recreate that problem. We will fix that in the next update. -- Des NowSMS Support | |||

Hi Mathew, Changing the server address or port number of an SMPP SMSC would cause custom settings for that connection to be removed (applies only to settings that can only be added by manually editing SMSGW.INI). We have fixed this issue in the 2016.02.23 build at http://www.nowsms.com/download/nowsms20160223.zip Note that this version has a redesigned web interface. If you have customized any web templates, they will be saved in an html.old folder. Those templates can be copied from html.old back to html if you wish to continue using the older templates. -- Des NowSMS Support | |||
