About Me
Here’s a brief about me. My name is Azril Nazli and I’m from Malaysia. Met Linux since
1995 and never stopped loving it since then. Started web programming back in 1999
when PHP3 was introduced and now I’m still developing using CakePHP Framework.
Apart from this SMS Project, I manage a wifi controller using open source tools.

INTRODUCTION
In this tutorial, we will build a SMS system using your own computer and normal mobile
phone. The goal of this tutorial is, to use a web based system for sending and receiving
SMS.
Hardwares used
1. Sony VAIO-VGN CR11GH Notebook

2. Sony W980 Mobile Phone
3. USB Cable connecting the phone to notebook ( comes with the phone )
Softwares used
1. Windows VISTA Home Edition

2. VMWARE Server 1.0.8
3. Linux Fedora 9 Live ISO
4. Gnokii SMSD
5. MySQL Database
6. PHP 5.2 Server
7. CakePHP 1.2 Framework
8. Apache 2 Server
1. Go to http://www.vmware.com and download free VMWARE 1.0.8 server

URL : http://register.vmware.com/content/download-108.html
Download both files , VMware Server for Windows OS and VMware Server
Windows client package.
Choose Custom Installation
Only install VMware

In this case, I only use 2GB of disk space

Now we want to boot using Fedora 9 Live CD ISO. Click Edit virtual machine settings
Select CD-ROM and choose Use ISO image. Then Click browse and point to your Linux Fedora ISO image.
Click “Install to Hard Drive “ icon

Choose DHCP for eth0

Set your Root password

The image cannot be display ed. Your computer may not hav e enough memory to open the image, or the image may hav e been corrupted. Restart y our computer, and then open the file again. If the red x still appears, y ou may hav e to delete the image and then insert it again.
Click Yes
Click write changes to disk

Install Fedora 9 into VMWARE Hard Disk we created earlier.

TURNING OFF X WINDOWS SYSTEM.
Restart back the system and login as root ( Choose Other in login window ).
I will not use X Windows since it will use a lot of memory. So to turn off X Windows server, using Shell
Terminal, edit this file /etc/inittab. Change the defaut value from 5 to 3 as shown above. Save the file and
restart the system.
After you restarting the server, login as root and type this command to check your assigned ip address via
DHCP.
Ifconfig eth0
On the example shown above, the ip address is located at 10.1.10.107.

To enable you connect the the system using WinSCP or FileZilla Secure FTP, turn off IPTABLES service and
turn on SSHD service. Issue these command
service iptables stop [ENTER]
service sshd start [ENTER]
Example is shown above.

Gnokii 0.6 is already installed by default in Linux Fedora 9 distribution. But we need to install Gnokii
SMSD. Issue this command
yum install gnokii-smsd [ENTER]
Then the system will automatically find gnokii-smsd on Linux Fedora Repo server. Choose Y
Next we need to install Gnokii SMSD MySQL. We will using MySQL database to store incoming SMS and
using MySQL to send outgoing SMS. Issue this command
yum install gnokii-smsd-mysql [ENTER]
Above screenshot will be displayed, Choose Y to install.
Till now, you have already installed 2 application. What needed till now is
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -qa | grep gnokii
gnokii-0.6.24-1.fc9.i386
gnokii-smsd-mysql-0.6.24-1.fc9.i386
gnokii-smsd-0.6.24-1.fc9.i386
We need MySQL Server for database storage. Issue this command
yum install mysql-server [ENTER]
Choose Y to install
Fedora 9 doesn’t comes with PHP as default, so we need to install PHP. Issute this command
yum install php [ENTER]

We will need PHP-MySQL extension to store the data from PHP. Isse this command
yum install php-mysql [ENTER]

We need to allow execution of .htaccess in /var/www/html folder since we will use CakePHP for our
FrameWork.
I use FileZilla to access my system located at 10.1.10.107. After logged in, go to /etc/httpd/conf/ and edit
this file httpd.conf. I use Crimson Text Editor for editing.
Change line 292 from AllowOverride None to AllowOverride All
And line 328 from AllowOverride None to AllowOverride All
Save the file.

After you saved the file, FileZilla ftp will ask for confirmation. Click OK.
We have installed PHP and MySQL. Now we need to run them using service command.
service httpd start [ENTER]
service mysqld start [ENTER]

We need to install wget to download files for the internet using wget. Issue this command
yum install wget [ENTER]
Go to http://www.cakephp.org and download CakePHP 1.2.0 RC3 and place it on /var/www/ folder. You
either download using Windows and transfer to Fedora using FileZilla SFTP or use wget directly in the
console.
I use wget to download cakephp 1.2.0 RC3 and rename it as cakephp.tar.gz. Extract it using this command
tar zxvf cakephp.tar.gz
Then I rename html folder as html.ori . After that I rename cakephp_1_2_0 folder as html as shown
below.
Now point you browser to you IP ADDRESS. In this case I use http://10.1.10.107 and CakePHP is
successfully installed on my system.
We are going to add USB support to the system since I’m using Sony W980 mobile phone attacted to my
laptop via USB. Click Edit Virtual Machine Setting and you’ll presented by the menu shown above. Click
Add and choose USB Controller
Choose USB Controller and click Next.
Then power on back the system. Don’t forget to connect your phone in ‘Phone Mode’.
In this session, we are going to detect mobile phone interface in Linux environment. Make sure you’ve
have already installed your phone driver in Windows. In this case, I’ve already installed Sony W980 driver
in Windows XP. First make sure you’ve already connected your mobile phone in ‘Phone Mode’. Then, click
VM -> Removable Devices -> USB devices -> [ Choose You Mobile Phone Type Here ]
Then in Linux console, type this command
dmesg
After typing the command, you’ll presented by output shown above.
cdc_acm 1-1:3.1: ttyACM0: USB ACM device
cdc_acm 1-1:3.3: ttyACM1: USB ACM device

Now edit this file either using VI text editor or SFTP into the server and edit using your favorite text editor
File location: /etc/gnokiirc
Change line 11 to your phone interface. In my case is /dev/ttyACM1
Then move to line 52. Change the model to AT
Save the file.

Now we want to test the mobile phone connection. Run this command :
gnokii –identify
In my case, gnokii is able to detect my phone at /dev/ttyACM1 . If your system can’t detect the phone, try
change the port setting in /etc/gnokiirc file and start the test again.
Now for further testing, I send a text message to this number 0146412911 ( which is my other phone
number )
echo ‘Hello World’ | gnokii –sendsms < insert your other mobile phone number > [ENTER]
Example is shown above.

Now use you VM terminal and type the following command
1. cd /usr/share/doc/gnokii-smsd-mysql-0.6.24/
2. ls –l
Command #1 is to enter the directory. Command #2 is to list the file inside the directory. We are going to
create a database and populate the table inside the file above, sms.tables.mysql.sql
Step 1 : create smsdb database
Step 2: import the table structure in sms.tables.mysql.sql file into the smsdb table
Step 3: log into the mysql database console and use smsdb database
Step 4: show the tables inside the smsdb database
1. mysqladmin –uroot create smsdb
2. mysql –uroot smsdb < sms.tables.mysql.sql
3. mysql –uroot smsdb
4. show tables;
5. exit;
Now we’re going to use CakePHP to manage the smsd database.
Rename this file /var/www/html/app/config/database.default.php to

/var/www/html/app/config/database.default.php and the change the login & database value.
Edit line 7 and change login value to ‘root’ and line 9 change database value to ‘smsd’
Save the file.
Edir core.php in the same directory and change line 153 to something else.
Change the folder permission for /var/www/html/app/tmp to 777
Example if using command line in Linux shell.
Now open back the web server, in my case the server IP located at http://192.168.1.4
You should be able to see the message above. That means, you are ready to write the next application.
We are going to create database model for table inbox and table outbox. First, create a file named
inbox.php inside /var/www/html/app/models folder. And paste the following code.
Save the file as inbox.php inside the /var/www/html/app/models folder.
Then repeat the same process again for outbox.php. Paste the following code.
Save the file as outbox.php inside the /var/www/html/app/models folder.

Next, we are going to create the controllers for Inbox and Outbox models. First, go to this folder
/var/www/html/app/controllers and create this file, inboxes_controller.php and paste the following
code.
Paste the code above and save as inboxes_controller.php inside /var/www/html/app/controllers folder.
Paste the code above and save as outboxes_controller.php inside /var/www/html/app/controllers

folder.
Inboxes is where incoming SMS will be saved
Now it is time to test the interface. Using your windows XP browser, go to http://<your VM IP
Address>/inboxes. In this case my VM ip address is located at http://192.168.1.4/inboxes .
Outbox is where outgoing SMS will be sent
Now it is time to test the interface. Using your windows XP browser, go to http://<your VM IP
Address>/outboxes. In this case my VM ip address is located at http://192.168.1.4/outboxes.
Now it is time to run the SMS Daemon. This daemon will connect to mysql database and the the tables for
incoming and outgoing messages. Run this command
gnokii-smsd –u root –d smsdb –c localhost –m mysql
Then try send a SMS to the connected phone and check your Inboxes database data using the web
browser.
If there’s no incoming data, probably you’ll need to tell gnokii-smsd to read the SMS from the PHONE
MEMORY. So just issue the following command.
gnokii-smsd –u root –d smsdb –c localhost –m mysql –b ME
To check your memory status you can use this command
gnokii --showsmsfolderstatus
Here is the sample of my inboxes table. All the incoming SMS will stored directly into the database.
This is a sample how outgoing SMS inside the Outboxes databases. Just click New Outbox and only enter
Number and Text then hit Submit.
Now you have a working SMS System. To take this system further, you might need to learn some PHP
programming by harnessing the CakePHP power. Learn CakePHP at http://www.cakephp.org
