Hi there, this is what I get when trying to retrieve my mms via web interface. sms notification works fine, but I am not able to display them, any suggestion? I do not have any configuration file, I can post it on monday, but what should I check to be sure everything is ok? No firewall installed around. Now a completely different issue: I have a vasp talking mm7 with nowsms and a receiver SMPP client, registered to the server as an sms user. How can I dispatch sms notification (mms) messages to that user (smpp client)? Thanks for your support | |||

Hi Vittorio, I'm sorry, but I need more information from you. I don't understand what specific action you are performing that results in an HTTP 404 file not found error. Basically, I don't know what you mean when you say "trying to retrieve my mms via web interface". Are you retrieving it from a phone? Are you manually typing the URL in? I'm sorry, I just don't have enough information. Tell me more about what features you have configured in NowSMS, and what specifically you are trying to do when you see this error. See http://www.nowsms.com/howmmsworks.htm for some background information on how MMS works, as that might also help your understanding.
For the MMS notification (over SMS) to be routed to an SMPP client, you need to have the "default route" for "MMSC Routing" from the MMSC to be "Direct Delivery" (i.e., NowSMS as the MMSC). Alternatively, this direct delivery route doesn't have to be the "default route" ... you could define a route where direct delivery is performed only for a specific recipient number that you define in "Route messages to this account for recipient phone number(s)" under an "MMSC Routing" definition. The above step will ensure that the NowSMS acts as the MMSC for the recipient number(s) that you are sending to ... meaning that it will generate an MMS notification over SMS. The next step is to get this SMS routed to your SMPP client. To do this, under the "SMS Users" account that you define for your SMPP client, you need to check "Route received messages to user via SMPP", and define the recipient phone number(s) under "Recipient address(es) to route to this user". -bn | |||

Hi Bryce, means I am trying to access my MMS through an Internet browser (phone number + MMS code for accessing them), but in my installation all the resources are missing, I cannot see an index.htm for example. I did find a workaround and for now its ok (I did copy & paste index.htm from another NowSMS user over the Internet and placed it in the right place). Am I missing something? Another issue: the generated MMS html page has some dirty chars at the very beginning. Bug? Thanks for the MMSC Routing explanation, very clear and detailed. Regards V | |||

Hi V, So you are using the "MMSC Routing" option "Convert to SMS with web link"? It does indeed appear that the template files for this option are missing from the current installer. I'm going to work on getting the installer updated (as a new release is pending), but in the meantime, the template files for this option can be found in the "MMSSMS" directory of the update ZIP referenced in the following thread: http://support.nowsms.com/discus/messages/53/7888.html Don't use any of the DLL or EXE files from that ZIP, but the contents of the MMSSMS directory are the templates for this option. As for dirty characters at the beginning ... I can only guess that maybe the files that you copied from another system are corrupt. There is no "index.htm" used by this particular interface. The template files are: LOGIN.WML LOGIN.HTM MSGTEMPLATE.WML MSGTEMPLATE.HTM Also CLOSE.GIF and OK.GIF -bn | |||

Hi Bryce, thanks for the .zip, working fine now. Yes I am using the Convert to web link option. The dirty chars are in the MMS page right after logon. Some numbers in the upper left corner of the page. Thanks for help. Regards V | |||

Hi V, It might depend on your browser. Those bytes are a UTF-8 file signature. I don't see them in a browser window myself ... but looking at the raw file, I can see that the UTF-8 signature bytes are indeed present. If you edit the MSGTEMPATE.HTM file with Notepad, and save it in ANSI format, then these bytes will go away. But if you edit the template to include non-English characters, then they would then appear corrupt (non-English text within a message would be ok, just your edits in the template would be a problem). What browser are you using? -bn | |||
