Sorry guys if this is a stupid question, but I keep getting a 404 error 2002-12-26 11:51:29,3E0A60A1.req,127.0.0.1,*phone number*,Retry Pending - HTTPSMSC: Connection failed, HTTP status code = 404. my host name is set as myisp.com.au, configured to port 80. The check declares the settings are ok but the messege just isn't going through. Any help? thanks | |||

Is myisp.com.au an SMS service provider? Basically, what you are defining is that you are connecting to an HTTP based SMS service provider to send messages through them. The Now SMS/MMS Gateway requires a connection to an SMSC (Short Messaging Service Centre) to interface with SMS and MMS networks. An SMSC connection can consist of one or more of the following: GSM Modem – A GSM modem or phone connected to a PC serial port (or to a USB port with an appropriate modem driver). SMPP (Short Message Peer to Peer Protocol) – A TCP/IP connection over the internet or a private network to a service that supports v3.3 or v3.4 of the SMPP protocol. UCP/EMI (Universal Computer Protocol / External Machine Interface) – A TCP/IP connection over the internet or a private network to a service that supports v3.5 or v4.0 of the UCP/EMI protocol. HTTP (Hyper Text Transport Protocol, e.g., the standard protocol for the "web") – A TCP/IP connection over the internet or private network to a service that accepts SMS messages via an HTTP "GET" based protocol. -bn | |||

If your host is a virtual host then NowSMS doesn't work because it does a HTTP 1.0 request. | |||

Right. We've actually had a fix for the past few weeks that we've been e-mailing out to people who report this particular problem. If you need this update, send a message to nowsms@now.co.uk. It has nothing to do with it being an HTTP 1.0 request (we send it out as an HTTP 1.0 request because we don't support "chunking") ... but instead, we're not sending out a "Host:" header when we make the HTTP connection to an SMSC. -bn | |||

I have done the config as mentioned in the help manual... using http connactions... for that purpose I opened an account at nowmms.com. Account test gives no error and when I send a SMS though the web interface shows no error as well but message never gets delivered. I get HTTP error 404 or 500, everytime I send a message. Any Idea why? Regards, Rohit Malaviya India | |||

Hi, Accounts at nowmms.com are limited to phone-to-phone MMS sending. You cannot use them as a general purpose SMS connection. -bn | |||
