If I send MMS via the WEB GUI and press submit the page cannot be found. Submission of text/ WAP /OTA/Push messages do work. I only see this problem when sumitting MMS messages.

The MMS service is running and the handset is capable to receive MMS messages.

please advice...

If I look in the MMSC-date log I see the following:

Interestingly enough, those entries in your MMSC log are hack programs trying to break into your web server. They're obviously not going to get into the MMSC ... but it always amazes me how frequently I see those.

Anyway, those log entries aren't really relevant, but it does help me see what components are working. I can see that the MMSC is active, and that it is receiving requests ... even if it those requests are hack programs, at least we see the MMSC is indeed active.

The particular "page not found" problem is a somewhat common problem with the 3.x releases. We're actually returning some error text, but Internet Explorer is displaying its own message because the error code we are returning is the error number for "page not found".

In the next release, we've stopped this, so that the error text will be displayed ... but that doesn't help you much now.

So, let me explain what the error most likely is.

When you use the "Send MMS Message" function, the SMS/MMS gateway submits the message to the MMSC (these two components run as separate services) ... and the MMSC returns a URL back to the SMS/MMS gateway that tells the gateway the location of the message content. The error that you describe occurs most frequently when the SMS/MMS gateway is unable to fetch content from the URL returned.

As the URL that is returned from the MMSC is a URL that the mobile phone will ultimately need to retrieve ... the MMSC gives the gateway back a URL that it believes is in internet format, instead of a local reference.

It builds this URL based on the following entries on the "MMSC" page of the configuration dialog:

"Local Host Name or IP Address" and "HTTP Port Number". Let's say that you set the host name to mms.domain.name, and the the port number is 80. In this example, the MMSC gives the gateway back a URL of "http://mms.domain.name:80/content-path". The error that you are experiencing occurs when the gateway component cannot retrieve this URL. So check the settings on the MMSC page.

If you have further questions, please ask.

P.S. - I'm not sure what that "We need to add a" text is at the bottom of my posting ... you can ignore that, I'm not aware of anything that needs to be added.
