ddclient reporting errors frequently

patufet99 · 09-06-2006, 01:34 AM

I installed ddclient, as I have no fix IP address.
It works correctly and when IP changes, it is reported in the log.

Quote:

Sep 3 02:31:43 localhost ddclient[19349]: SUCCESS: updating mysite.dyndns.org: good: IP address set to xx.xx.xx.xxx

The question is why is it frequently reporting than it cannot connect to checkip.dyndns.org?

Here it is the /etc/ddclient.conf file:

Hi,

is your Internet connection always on? If not, then that would explain the errors. (How to resolve the name, when you're offline)

In that case you could either run ddclient from ip-up script instead of daemon mode, or simply ignore the messages.

Thanks for your comment.

The connection is in principle always on.
If it is regularly interrupted for any reason, should the event be logged in any file?

Thanks for the help.

I get the same problem running ddclient 3.6.3. I tried a bit or troubleshooting but this looks fine:

[root@hosebag root]# ddclient -daemon=0 -debug -verbose -noquiet

cashe(...
...
cache{hosebag.kicks-ass.net}{wtime} : 0

Always-on connection.
