I know that gnokii is still developmental stage and it's for d6.x but still I tried to install it for d5.12 sorry for my hard headed installation.
I successfully download and tar it to my drupal modules and now my d5.12 looking for an "array". Of course I have to supply also this module right?
But I'm wondering How this gonna work?
I watched the video of Will about "Setting Up a Two-Way SMS Gateway with Gnokii and Drupal" but still wondering here.
sorry for much wonderings...
Will has a usb and a phone in the demo, My concerns are:
1. Did Will enable the gnokii module in the drupal server d6.x something?
2. Seem that Will used another laptop [not the drupal server unit] where he plugged the usb probably with the gnokii daemon inside.
3. Did the gnokii run only in the client laptop or can be run also to my ubuntu server with D5.12 installation?
Please assist my wonderings. thanks.

Gnokii is separate from SMS Framework
Gnokii is its own project and daemon. Its software allows you to turn a computer connected to a cellphone or a GSM modem into a homebrew SMS gateway server.
The Gnokii module for SMS Framework is simply a connector module that will let you configure SMS Framework to speak to your particular Gnokii instance.
In Will's video, he shows a USB key which is (if I recall) a bootable device which starts and runs a Gnokii instance on a computer (this particular sort of set up would be a computer separate from the one running your Drupal installation). That computer running Gnokii will have a cellphone or a GSM modem paired to it to allow Gnokii to send and receive text messages.
It is possible to install Gnokii to run on the same server as your Drupal installation, but you wouldn't use a bootable USB key or live CD for this -- you'd simply install Gnokii normally per its website instructs.

Hi Brian Thanks for the
Hi Brian Thanks for the reply
Ok I got it.
I did some some installations with Ubuntu server, D6.6, and Gnokii-0.6.27 + Nokia 3310 (6110 series) serial connection
This how it goes please comment if there's a problem with it because until now I can't successfully connect it seamlessly to my Drupal 6.6 site.
a. I installed the apt-get install build-essential from ubuntu site.
b. I installed the apt-get gettext (something i can't really remember the exact apps) from ubuntu site.
c. I installed the gnokii and yeheyy!!! I got a smooth installation
1. (./configure=/usr) executed it where the extracted gnokii directory located
2. make
3. sudo make install
4. I configured my .gnokiirc and put it to my ~/.gnokiirc
5. run some gnokii --identify and gnokii --monitor commands and there's it as expected!!!
6. run smsd NOTsuccessful Ubuntu said I need to apt-get install it (I did what ubuntu suggested)
7. again run smsd and it DID run!!! I check the version NOT 0.6.27 (wondering there's a smsd included in gnokii how it's not installed when I install gnokii, is it a separate installation?)
8. I test some sms sending and receiving and I'm happy!!! it's functioning as expected
9. My problem with it was that I CAN'T store the sms messages to my MySQL database (I did a lot of research with it but with no avail. I hope someone here can help me with that now)
AND NOW HERE'S MY DRUPAL 6.6 INSTALLATION GOES...
Can anyone please tell me what I did wrong?
I read the README file inside the gnokii module made by Will, Will said that I place the gnokii_smsd outside my webroot so then I place it to my root / (so now here seems I have two instances of smsd)
I checked also the code inside gnokii_smsd directory and I noticed that the it's reading my gnokiirc configuration NOT from ~/. gnokiirc but FROM /etc/gnokiirc so I reconfigure it similar to my original config at ~/. gnokiirc but still not working.
I've been doing it for 2 days now but still I can't at least send sms from my drupal site (smsgateway) to my other mobile phone.
Please help. Thanks in advance.
