Yes, it is possible to use other databases. You can use SQL, PSQL, or DBI. Please refer to http://wammu.eu/ for more details.:D

hi! very informative tutorial. I am wondering if you could help me. It seems that gammu is not executing my runonreceive script.
Tue 2011/02/22 09:26:50 gammu-smsd[1978]: Starting run on receive: “/path/script.sh” 31
Tue 2011/02/22 09:26:50 gammu-smsd[1556]: Process exited, status=0

@ Sidharth

Try this:
Create a new database in mysql.
Open your smsdrc file and set to the following:

[smsd]
service = mysql
PIN = 1234
logfile = smsdlog
commtimeout = 1
sendtimeout = 10
user = root
password =
pc = localhost
database = [insert name of your database here]

——————————
Save it in \Gammu\bin. After that, try running this command on cmd

gammu -smsd -c smsdrc

Note: This command will automatically transfer all your SMS to the database, so don’t be surprised if your inbox becomes empty. lol

i am hvaing the same problem as above …..when i type in the command
"gammu –smsd MYSQL /etc/smsdrc"
it show the error : Error: SMS daemon is now in separate binary, please use gammu-smsd instead of gammu smsd!
probably this may be problem due to the new version of gammu. So, can you please tell me how to set up the sms gateway on the latest version of gammu(1.27)

I am using gammu with java in ubuntu for an autoreplying system.
The incoming process is properly.
for executing the gammu-smsd-inject i am using,
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().execute("");
but the sms is not injected in the outbox and the sentitems table..!!
Please help,
what could be the solution out of this..?
