Playsms ubuntu 18.04

Hello there, its just my another diary, to install playsms on ubuntu 18.04

first my engine looks like this apache2, mariadb-server, php7.2, vim, unzip

im installing playsms with this two referrence https://playsms.org/2020/03/20/install-playsms-1-4-3-on-ubuntu-18-04/ and this one https://blog.dgprasetya.com/gammu-install-configure-playsms/

okay first we build environment for playsms

Apache2, php7.2, mariadb-server

okay first easy one apache2

to install apache2 its just “ Sudo apt-get install apache2”

then install php.7.2

sudo apt install php7.2 php7.2-cli php7.2-mysql php7.2-gd php7.2-curl php7.2-mbstring php7.2-xml php7.2-zip

Okay then install mariadb-server

sudo apt-get install mariadb-server

dont forget to secure it

sudo mysql_secure_installation

and my guess is, it doesnt work like you thought

so do this

1. First, connect in sudo mysql

• sudo mysql -u root

Check your accounts present in your db

• SELECT User,Host FROM mysql.user; +------------------+-----------+ | User | Host | +------------------+-----------+ | admin | localhost | | debian-sys-maint | localhost | | magento_user | localhost | | mysql.sys | localhost | | root | localhost |

Delete current root@localhost account

mysql> DROP USER 'root'@'localhost'; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0,00 sec)

Recreate your user

• mysql> CREATE USER 'root'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY '123456'; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0,00 sec)

Give permissions to your user (don’t forget to flush privileges)

• mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'@'%' WITH GRANT OPTION; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0,00 sec) mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0,01 sec)

Exit MySQL and try to reconnect without sudo.

so now you have user root and password 123456

Note this is for fresh or clean install ubuntu

Next we install playsms

# END OF INSTALL DATA
# ===================

then instll playsms

sudo ./install-playsms.sh

why we used sudo? because there is some privileged action needed, like make file in root folder.

right after install change config.php in
sudo vim /var/www/playsms/config.php

Search for ishttps and set it to false.
because we use it in local development, if you use true it will turn to https, and not gonna work unless you use hosting and give it ssl

start service
playsmsd /etc/playsmsd.conf start

then go to your localhost/playsmsd/index.php

user = admin
password=changemeplease

if you use older playsms
user=admin
password=admin
