  1. Anton,

    Thank you for this great product! I have been using it for a few versions now, and haven’t had any problems with the upgrades till now. I noticed that the sms_command execution files were no longer in /var/www/html/playsms/bin but in /var/lib/playsms/sms_command/1/ so I copied over my executables to this new location. I have also updated my scripts to use the new hash tokens and not the login credentials. When I execute the script from the command line, it works perfectly. However, I can’t get it to execute from playsms. What i mean, is that playsms shows that the keyword sms was “handled” but the script itself is not executed. in the log file, /var/log/playsms/playsms.log I don’t see any mention of the sms_command keyword when it receives the sms … where should i look to next to find out why it isn’t executing the file?

    thanks!
    Adnan.

    1. In the web interface it is showing the path as /var/lib/playsms/sms_command/1/ but when i changed the log level to 3 (for debug) i found that it was looking for the file in /var/lib/playsms/sms_command and not in the final 1 directory.

      could that 1 be a typo that needs to be removed? i’ve copied my files in the sms_command directory and its now working. :)

  3. Hi Anton,

    I have a website thats use playSMS 0.97 with Webservices and I try to upgrade this service to playSMS 0.98.

    I upgrade works as well, but the webservices stops to work. When I try to call the webservice function, playsms raises a authentication error ERR:100 – Autenthication Failed.

    Do you know any solution or suggestion about this issue?

    Thanks a lot for your great service.

  5. Hi there!

    PlaySms is a great software and I enjoy it every day. Thank you for the job! I hope you will continue to improve it. : :smile:

    I use smstools to send sms, procmail and bash scripts to route email to sms in both ways (incoming and outgoing). I used smstools directly and it worked well.

    Yesterday, I changed my mind and now I use playsms webservices to send SMS.
    I’ve updated some php files in your code to deal with users and token.

    Now, any user can send an email to my email2sms gateway. Email is processed, user’s rights are verified and playsms webservices are used to send SMS.
    It works like a charm !

    If you’re interested I can explain how to configure this. I think it might be interesting.

    PS : sorry for my english…
