bearerbox in kannel running stops

Question

i m trying to install kannel in centos i have downloaded the tar file and used following commands

./configure ---prefix=/etc/kannel/ make make install

then vi kannel.conf

group = core
admin-port = 1300
admin-password = fxxbar
box-allow-ip = "127.0.0.1"
admin-allow-ip = "127.0.0.1"

group = smsc
smsc = fake 
smsc-id = FAKE
port = 10000  
connect-allow-ip = 127.0.0.1

group = smsbox
bearerbox-host = 127.0.0.1
sendsms-port = 13013      
global-sender = 13013     
#log-file = "/tmp/smsbox.log"   
#log-level = 0    


#---------------------------------------------
# SEND-SMS USERS
#
# These users are used when Kannel smsbox sendsms interface is used to
# send PUSH sms messages, i.e. calling URL like
# http://kannel.machine:13013/cgi-bin/sendsms?username=tester&password=foobar...

group = sendsms-user
username = tester
password = foobar
#user-allow-ip = ""


#---------------------------------------------
# SERVICES
#
# These are 'responses' to sms PULL messages, i.e. messages arriving from
# handsets. The response is based on message content. Only one sms-service is
# applied, using the first one to match.

group = sms-service
keyword = nop
text = "You asked nothing and I did it!"

# There should be always a 'default' service. This service is used when no
# other 'sms-service' is applied.

group = sms-service
keyword = default
text = "No service specified"

Then I used this command sbin/bearerbox kannel.conf and get the following result

You have to specify the "smsbox-port"

Answer 2

I think this configuration is wrong.You can use configuration file I used. This google document has many details. If you just want configuration file, just copy and paste the code. For core group. Its like this

group = core
admin-port = 13000
smsbox-port = 13001
admin-password = abcd        #any admin pasword
status-password = ****        #your password for this username
log-file = "/var/log/kannel/bearerbox.log"
log-level = 0
box-deny-ip = "*.*.*.*"
box-allow-ip = "127.0.0.1"    #local host IP address
sms-resend-retry = 1

Answer 3

In your case it is correct that nothing happened.
If you want sent sms:

• Start the SMSBox

  Open a new terminal and type the following command

  $ smsbox path_to_the_configuration_file

• You can use FAKESMSC to sent fake sms:
  Open a new terminal and type:
  
  $ test/fakesmsc
  
  it is not a real SMS center, if you want sent real sms configure the SMS Centre Group (see User's Guide)
