Hi All,

# rpm -ivh dmc-mitel-ez-ipupdate-3.0.10-0.noarch.rpm
Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]
   1:dmc-mitel-ez-ipupdate  ########################################### [100%]
mv: cannot stat /sbin/e-smith/dynamic-dns/custom': No such file or directory
ln: /etc/rc.d/rc7.d/S99easydns': File exists
error: execution of %post scriptlet from dmc-mitel-ez-ipupdate-3.0.10-0 failed, exit status 1

Any idea why it failed???

Daley,
 Does that fragment (s99easydns) exist?
 I've had some trouble with that rpm before, but haven't really been able to trace exactly what is wrong. It seems to be a little bit different everytime I install. I'm thinking there is an order of operation here that I'm just missing. However, I have managed to get it to work everytime with a little bit of mussing about.

Daley,

Darrels How To assumes that you have already configured your server for Dynamic DNS.

What you need to do is step 2 first. This will create the
/sbin/e-smith/dynamic-dns/custom file and set up the configuration parameters.

You then need to

[root@sme5 /root]# rpm -Uvh --force dmc-mitel-ez-ipupdate-3.0.10-0.noarch.rpm

This will force the re-installation of the rpm.

The rest is a case of following the How To

Hi Jon,

the error come out during the rpm installation, it looks i was unable to complete the setup, in fact, i followed exactly the readme.txt, the cut and paste snapshot was my second time installation.

I am using SME 5.5 with the latest update, will try the force installation later.

Thank you.

Daley

Jon,

After few tried, i manually created a file "custom" in /sbin/e-smith/dynamic-dns, only then you shd have no error while installing this rpm.

After that, you need to create the the template-custom for easydns.conf, else the process will be hang during the SME 5.5 startup.

That is what I did as well. Created a custom template with the easydns info in it expanded the template and rebooted, after that worked fine.

Hi All,

Pls advise.
