Gammu SMS gateway service shows "Error 27"

Question

This is my first experience using Gammu as SMS gateway, and I have a problem with the setup.

This is my system:

• Windows 8.1 x64
• Gammu 1.33.0 Windows x64
• XAMPP 1.8.1
• Database connection to MySQL using ODBC
• GSM modem used: Wavecom Fastrack M1306B

And here is my smsdrc:

[gammu]
port = com6:
connection = at115200

[smsd]
Service = sql
Driver = odbc
SQL = mysql
host = localmysql
DeliveryReport = sms
logfile = smsdlog
debuglevel = 1
PIN = 1234
commtimeout = 1
sendtimeout = 10
User = root
Password = 
# host = localhost
PC = localhost
Database = smsd

And here is my gammudrc :

port = com6:
connection = at115200

What I've did:

• Extract the directory of gammu/bin into xampp/htdocs/gammu
• Created smsrdc & gammurc files with the configs above
• Set the compatibility of gammu-smsd.exe to Run As Administrator
• phpmyadmin > Create new db (smsd) > imported the sql from gammu\share\doc\gammu\examples\sql\mysql.sql
• My ODBC settings :
  _{(source: kaskus.com)}

(I've tested and it's connected) - I've added the gammu-smsd into windows serices - test identify by running gammu --identify - test sending sms manually from console - test gammu-smsd -c smsdrc, and i had no error at all.

The problem is I couldn't run the gammu-smsd as a service, whether it's manually from the cmd nor started it from the services.

1. If I started the gammu-smsd from cmd ( gammu-smsd -c smsdrc -s ), the gammu-smsd showed up in the task manager, but disappeared in less than 1 sec.
2. Whenever I tried to manually start the gammu-smsd service from the Windows Services, it always shows me this kind of error:

I've done some searchs, and what I've found is all about wrong connection into DB, port, or about Run As Administrator. But I'm quite sure it's not from config.

How can I solve this issue, so that I can run the gammu-smsd services properly? Can you please help me?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Try running not as a service : gammu-smsd -c smsdrc

in my case that do the job.
