initlength = default
connection = dku2libusb
use_locking = no
serial_baudrate = 19200
smsc_timeout = 10

[gnokiid]
bindir = /usr/local/sbin/

[connect_script]

Step 2:


Then move on to smsd

Configure smsd very simple as follows in this link
replace this line as


mysql -u root -p your-db-password smsgw < /usr/share/doc/gnokii-smsd-mysql/sms.tables.mysql.sql

if you get access denied error


same thing in replace the sms line as below

and start the sms daemon



/usr/sbin/smsd -u root -d smsgw -c localhost -m mysql -p your-db-password -b IN -f /var/log/smsdaemon.log




Now all inbox and outbox messages will be in

smsgw database as inbox and outbox table :D

insert a tuple in outbox table to message to your friends
as
insert into outbox (number,text) values('+91987654321', 'message from sms daemon ;-)');

enjoy messaging by inserting values into database as above :)
