• The issue is....strange. As far as I can tell, I am doing everything right for it to work, but my MMSC gives be a 503 error if I reconfigure the settings and attempt to use it. The error is immediately gone if I reset mmsd. If anyone has ideas, I would appreciate it. However, since the settings do not change very often and a reset makes it work, I am relatively unconcerned with this problem.
  

• I unfortunately do not have a carrier that uses a proxy, so I cannot work on this issue.

I am making a systemd serve with:

Code:

[Unit]
Description=Multimedia Message Service Daemon

Wants=network.target
After=syslog.target network-online.target

[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/libexec/mmsd
Restart=always
RestartSec=10
User=root
KillMode=process

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

and I put it here: /etc/systemd/system/mmsd.service (it is owned by root, and has permissions of 640)

I attempt to enable it and start it with:

Code:

sudo systemctl enable mmsd
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl start mmsd

But mmsd imediately stops.

When installing the normal way. I can manually start it with:

Code:

$/usr/libexec/mmsd

and it runs as I expect it to.

I'm by no means an expert, but wouldn't you want permissions to be 740? So that root has the ability to execute the service as well?

I'm just wondering if the mmsd.service needs to have a user bit of 7 for read, write, and execute?

Hello Jon!

Can you first confirm you have mobile data? Based on the error, mmsd cannot seem to find an active mobile internet connection.

IIRC, AT&T uses the same APN for MMS as they do for mobile data, so you should be able to copy whatever your phone's settings are. If you look in your phone's mobile settings, can you look up the APN in there and copy it to the mmsd settings?
