Hi! With the inclusion of SMPP server, NowSMS wrote "SMPP Server Port already in use". I tried to change the port 2775 to any other, but the error remains. What could it be? | |||

Hi Alexandre, This appears to be a cosmetic error that occurs if the SSL SMPP server port number is left blank. Put a port number into that configuration setting, and the error will go away. You do need to generate an SSL certificate on the SSL/TLS page before you will be allowed to configure this. It can be self-signed, it is not necessary to get the certificate signed by a certificate authority. Or, ignore the error until we get another update together, as it is will not affect operation. -- Des NowSMS Support | |||

It seems to be working for me. Try clearing your browser cache. Maybe the cluster server behind the web server is having synchronisation problems. I will look into that. | |||

Hi Des, New version doesn't start. SMSDEBUG.LOG 21:23:08:117 [0] UseRouteCache: Yes 21:23:10:117 [0] main: Before InitStatCounters 21:23:10:117 [0] main: After InitStatCounters 21:23:10:211 [0] main: Before CheckDatabaseIntegrity If we delete or move old DR files somewhere it starts. What it could be? Regards, Alex K. | |||

Hi Alex, If you let it proceed, how long are you waiting? It should take 2 minutes max. -- Des NowSMS Support | |||

Hi again Alex, Also, I'm a little bit confused. This database check at startup has been present since 2010-04-15. This new version does try to speed it up. And in my tests, it is significantly faster. Is it really taking that much longer? I have conferred with engineering again to emphasize that these checks are causing severe startup delays. As a result, they have agreed that most of these integrity checks can occur post startup, and not delay startup. So we wait again for an update. -- Des NowSMS Support | |||

Hi Des, Seems a new version also has a bugs: - Meesages don't get issued RouteName parameter with PreAuth callback. - Same problem with DR, message don't appear in logs and no callback was issued. Regards, Alex K. | |||

let me re-check today. I'll update ASAP. | |||

Hi Alex, 1.) I don't see any problems with RouteName in the PreAuth callback. Keep in mind that the SMSCRoute= parameter will only be present for the SMSSend PreAuth callback if the message was submitted with an explicit route specified in the submission. Similarly, the SMSCRoute= parameter will only be present for the SMSSend callback if the above is true, or if the SMSSend PreAuth callback supplied routing information (SMSCRoute=) in its response. There is no change in this behaviour. What is changed in this new release is that previously the SMSOut and SMSIn callbacks did not include SMSCRoute. The SMSOut and SMSIn callbacks include an SMSCName= parameter which identifies the SMSC with which the message was exchanged, where this name is either a host name/IP address (e.g., "SMPP - 1.2.3.4:5678") or modem driver name. The new release adds an SMSCRouteName= parameter to identify the more friendly named SMSGW.INI RouteName= parameter. The parameters do have different names (SMSCRoute= vs. SMSCRouteName=), which is on purpose. 2.) If a DR message ID cannot be resolved it is not logged (or accounting callback) until more attempts can be made to resolve the DR message ID. (These are the sometimes infamous *.RCT files.) 3.) There are not any further optimisations that we can apply to the startup queue scan at this time. The scan process should be relatively quick even if there is a large queue ... unless you have a situation where a directory has a large number of messages to process. (If I recall correctly, there was a change made to reduce the number of subdirectories created for long message processing ... made largely at your suggestion. As a result, if you have a large queue of many long messages, that could be a startup delay problem. I am going to ask our team to revisit this issue, because directories with large numbers of files at the same level are a definite problem.) -- Des NowSMS Support | |||

Hi Des, New realeaseis is fine, seems it was conflict with previous version. After reboot problem disappeared. Good work! Regards, Alex K. | |||

Hi Des, Seems that new version is unable to start during HTPP and SMPP requests. We've rolled back the 20140411. SMPP window didn't become active even in 20 mins after exception (ThreadProcessInboundSMS). Please advise. Something is still very bad oin your start-up mechanism. Is it possible to turn off all your startup checks like adding some key into SMSGW.INI? Regards, Alex K. | |||

Hi Alex, Ah ... exception errors. There is a severe problem with versions 2011.05.23 thru 2011.06.06 inclusive. Inbound messages with any SMPPOptions settings trigger a severe problem in some new logic. 2011.06.08 corrects this problem. http://www.nowsms.com/download/nowsms20110608.zip -- Des NowSMS Support | |||

Hi Alex, This particular feature addition has been the cause of numerous problems introduced in 2011.05.23:
This should be the last of the fixes to prevent the problems that this feature has caused: http://www.nowsms.com/download/nowsms20110615.zip -- Des NowSMS Support | |||

Can i have 100 euro for each found bug? :-) | |||

Another thought, I noticed very low CPU activity during start-up. Are you sure there is nothing to do to speed start-up more? Add threads or something? Start-up is very important, especially when random exceptions occur. Regards, Alex K. | |||
