Hi, I tried to start the MMSC service, after I configured the MMSC tab to run on port 80 (i tried also other ports), and i checked the "activate MMSC server" box. When i try to telnet to localhost (the PC on which the NowSMS is installed) on port 80 it fails as if the service is not on. Any idea what can be wrong? What should i do? | |||

Knaan: Run the following command without starting your service: netstat -an if you happen to be on Linux/Unix: netstat -an | grep LISTEN Make certain that port 80 is NOT in LISTEN mode; if it is, you have a conflict and cannot use that port. I use port 82. Why are you connecting to port 80? You can't do this as a normal process (e.g. http://localhost:80 from your browser) this is the port that is used by nowsms to serve content; you connect to nowsms using port 8080 for the web interface. I suggest your start your service on port 82, then test an sms from the Web interface. Robert. | |||

Hi, I'd suggest enabling the MMSCDEBUG.LOG (check box on the "Serial #" tab) After starting the MMSC service, take a look at the MMSCDEBUG.LOG file, as this should report whether or not the service was able to successfully bind to the specified port. Another issue that can get in the way sometimes is firewall software. Try temporarily disabling any firewall software running on your PC before starting the MMSC service. If that resolves your problem, then you may need to add an exception to the firewall software which will allow MMSC.EXE and SMSGWS.EXE to listen for inbound connections. -bn | |||
