kannel config problem!!!

I have started kannel (bearer box) and it is listening on port 1300 and 1301 I then started the smsbox which connects to the bearer box and listens for in coming HTTP SMS request on port 13010.  When I then attempt to send a HTTP get request passing sendsms parameter. I get a connection refused message!!! I have tested kannel with the fake smsc program.  Can any help or has experienced this problem before!!!

Thank you in advance!!!

"Connection refused" is typically when
1. the port is not opened - e.g. the program is not started
2. the firewall prevents access on this port / address

Did you have a look to the LOG files as mentioned before ?

Do you have the iptables linux internal firewall working and preventing this access ?

Try a telnet to this port
1. telnet 127.0.0.1 theporttotest
=> does it work (eg do you have connection refused?)
2. telnet IPADDROFYOURSERVER theporttotest
=> does it work?

Please have a look to the LOG files, and try the steps above - it is likely the problem is not located on kannel side.

Ok,

I can get a connection using telnet on port 13013
The last entry in the log file is DEBUG: HTTP: Creating HTTPClient for 127.0.0.1.
Does this prove that kannel is work??
Could it be that I am missing something in my kannel.conf file?

group = core
admin-port = 13000
smsbox-port = 13001
smsbox-port-ssl = no
admin-password = bar
log-file = "/tmp/bearbox.log"
#box-deny-ip = "*.*.*.*"
box-allow-ip = "*.*.*.*"
access-log = "/tmp/bearerbox-access.log"
store-file = "/tmp/kannel.store"

group = smsc
smsc = at
smsc-id = "siemens-tc35"
modemtype = simens-tc35
device = /dev/ttyS0
connect-allow-ip = "*.*.*.*"
sms-center = "sms-center number for vodafone network"
validityperiod = 167

group = smsbox
sendsms-port = 13013
global-sender = 13013
sendsms-chars =0123456789 +-"
log-file = "/tmp/smsbox.log"
access-log = "/tmp/sms-access.log"

group = sendsms-user
username = tester
password = bar2
user-allow-ip = "*.*.*.*"

group = sms-service
keyword = www
get-url = "http://%s";
concatenation = true
header = "hoho"

group = sms-service
keyword = nop
text = "You asked nothing and I did it!"

The above is a updated version of my kannel.conf file!!

In smsbox group, try to add

bearerbox-host = localhost
log-level = 5

In core

log-level = 5

Try again and please have a look to all core and smsbox log files, + the /var/log/messages

I made the modification which you suggested above to my kannel config file.

I pass the following on the command line

wget http://127.0.0.1:13010/cgi-bin/sendsms?username=tester&password=bar2&to=mobilephonenumber&text=hello+world

it comes by with

     => ' sendsms?username=tester'

Connecting to 127.0.0.1:13010.... failed: Connection refused.

There nothing interesting in the logs

I can connect to the admin port 1300 from a web browser below
is the result fpm the query
