Problem with my first install

Dear friends.

I’m new in Playsms (and also new in Ubuntu…).

I tried to follow the instructions of Playsms book for instalation, and I found some troubles:

After install everything, I get the next messages:

playsmsd start:

" playsmsd is started"

playsmsd status :

“playsmsd is not running”

One another thing (I don´t know if it can be the problem). I installed php7.0 instead of php5

¿can anyone help me? thanks in advance.

Hello Carlos,
Please paste the out come you get when you run the command below

$ sudo playsmsd status

If it is running, you should get the output as below:
$ sudo playsmsd status
playsmsd is running
schedule at pid 23141
dlrssmsd at pid 23143
recvsmsd at pid 23145
sendsmsd at pid 23147

Waiting for your response.

Dear Ikazooba:

When I run playsmsd status the answer is:

Playsmsd is not running

When I try to run : playsmsd sendsmsd , I get

DB error ; extension not found

I hope this could be useful for you

Thanks for your help

Carlos

When I run " Playsmsd start", I get

playsmsd has been started

schedule at pid 2399
dlrssmsd at pid 2401
recvsmsd at pid 2403
sendsmsd at pid 2405

Dear Carlos,
I suggest that you go through the installation as directed on the link below.

http://help.playsms.org/en/installation/installation_without_install_script.html

Go through step by step. You should be able to set it up.
Let us know how it goes.
Cheers!

¿without erase anything of the actual installation?

Dear Kazzoba:

I am at the step 5 (setup database)

when I enter : mysqladmin -u root -p create playsms

the answer was:

CREATE DATABASE failed; error: Can´t create database “playsms”; database exists

when I enter : mysql -u root -p playsms < db/playsms.sql

The answer was:
db/playsms.sql : the file or the directory no exist

Here I am now

Dear Carlos,
Just overwrite what you have with what the guide says. In doing so, you will be able to have a working application. Just follow the guide. Let us know where you have issues. Many people are willing to help out.

Dear Ikazooba:

I´ve followed, step by step all the guide, without any failure message.

But I still have the same result.

When I run the command ; “playsmsd start” I have the next answer:

playsmsd has been started

schedule at pid 2178
dlrssmsd at pid 2180
recvsmsd at pid 2182
sendsmsd at pid 2184

After that I run the command : “playsmsd status”, and the answer is

Playsmsd is not running

I can´t find the problem

¿can you help me?

Thanks in advance

Carlos

Another issue:

When I run the commands : " playsmsd sendsmsd

At the first time I got these 2 errors:

PHP Deprecated: mktime (): You should be using the time() function instead in /var/www/html/playsms/lib/fn_core.php on line 1031

DB Error:extension not found

I’ve changed the line 1031 (time() instead of mktime()), and the first error dissapear.

But the second error (db error), remain the same

Dear Carlos,
I have not tried it on PHP7. If you went through the installation once again guide and ended with the same errors as before, I suggest that you try PHP5. I am not saying it does not work with PHP7, but I have not used it on PHP7 hence I may not be able to troubleshoot. Maybe others here can help. I suggest, if you can, you try it on PHP5. I am sorry I have not been able to help you.

Dear Kazooba:

I followed your instructions and rebuild all the system.

. Ubuntu 14.
Php5

Now , I have the message : "DB error : Not found

That message appear when I try to run : “playsmsd sendsmsd” , and when I try to enter at the url “localhost/playsms”

I googled a lot, but I could´nt find a solution.

¿can you help me?

thanks a lot

Carlos

Guys I got the issue in different post.

.
.
.
for now you can try to change config.php, change:
$core_config[‘db’][‘type’] = ‘mysql’;

to:
$core_config[‘db’][‘type’] = ‘mysqli’;

Thanks to @anton
.
.

After making this change, run the following commands prompts:

  1. playsmsd start (to start services)

  2. playsmsd status (then to verify it)

  3. Try the browser. http://your-server-ip/playsms

All the best!
