hi guys hoping for some help. I have an apache server running in my machine at work and I can connect to this from any machine on my network and all is fine. Now I have a GSM modem and I was thinking of trying to write some WML pages and seeing if I could access this through my Phone. I have installed NowSMS (as I was told that was a WAP gateway) but then I found the actual WAP Proxy software, so that is installed also.) I am just gonna try and run through what I have done (I have yet to open any ports as I am not sure things are correctly configured) I have WAP Proxy 2.51 running as a service. As I have apache running on the same machine as the WAP Proxy I have set the HTTP Proxy to be the IP as that machine. I have enabled HTTP (WAP2) Proxy on port 8080 (but I am thinking should that not be the port that apache runs on?) MSISDN has not been set as anything. No users are set either. And the serial number is set to nothing (as this is a demo) I dont feel like I have set things up properly. ANyone care to help a real newbie? | |||

Hi Joe, Can you connect to the Apache server from the open internet? If so, then you just need to add some WML pages to that server. And for a typical user, you can just use the WAP proxy (gateway) at your operator. Using your own proxy is for more specialised configurations, or for service providers. If you do have a reason to want to use your own proxy, then you need to configure your phone to make a GPRS (or dial-up internet/CSD) connection that provides full internet connectivity, or at least connectivity into your network. You then configure the phone to connect through the proxy. The port numbers for the conventional WAP/WSP stack are UDP ports 9200 and 9201 (plus 9202 and 9203 in the WTLS version). The port number for the HTTP/WAP2 stack is configurable, and should not conflict with any other servers running on that same machine. As a proxy, the proxy simply forwards the request to the destination content server (and provides some protocol conversions which are more noticeable when using the WAP/WSP stack). The WAPGW-yyyymmdd.LOG file will log any connections/requests that are received by the proxy. -- Kent Williams Now Wireless Support | |||
