“This tutorial will show you how you can set up an SMS
server on Debian with playsms and smstools. In my example I have
used an old Nokia 5140i with a USB datacable.

“What we need before we start is apache2, mysql server, php5,
lynx, wget, curl.

“Now we install updates, and install dependencies:

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get install apache2 mysql-server php5 php5-cli
php5-cgi php-pear php-db phpmyadmin make gcc sendmail lynx wget
curl

“Now create a password for mysql root user, and remember
it.”
