DEBUG: get_ip: using ip, ip reports <undefined>
WARNING: unable to determine IP address

my ddclient.conf is :

# Configuration file for ddclient generated by debconf
#
# /etc/ddclient.conf

pid=/var/run/ddclient.pid
protocol=dyndns2
use=web, web=checkip.dyndnscom , web-skip='Current IP Address:'
server=members.dyndns.org
login=//////////
password='********'
***.dyndns.org




i installed ddclient before installing apache....

the 10.0.0.10 address is the server address in my d link router behind NAT.

Since you are using dyndns.com as your dynamic dns server then there is one web page that you should have used to configure ddclient.
http://www.dyndns.com/support/kb/usi..._services.html
Did you use that one?

What do you see in your web browser when you go to this address?
http://whatismyipaddress.com/

Have you checked your router/gateway to see if it supports dynamic dns updates? Mine does so I would not have to use ddclient on a computer in my LAN. This is very convenient.
