Topic: How to implement easyDNS dynamic DNS service

[CharlieBrady]

  I'm offering to log in and help you troubleshoot this one... because I'm going to have to convert my hom office at the end of the month.

Jay, I'd suggest you also open a New Feature Request in the bug tracker.

I did the following:

Created a file /sbin/e-smith/dynamic-dns/easydns, containing:

#!/bin/sh
# Description: easydns.com

IPADDR=$1
USERID=$2
PASSWD=$3
DOMAIN=$4

DATETIME=date
lynx -source -auth="$USERID:$PASSWD" \
"https://members.easydns.com/dyn/dyndns.php?system=custom&hostname=$DOMAIN&myip=$IPADDR"

I then made the script executable using:

chmod +x /sbin/e-smith/dynamic-dns/custom

Then logged in as admin went through the configuration option 2 and chose custom.

There is no mention in my log files about the dyndns (custom) script when it runs during startup.

the /var/log/messages log has no feedback from the dyndns (custom) script when it runs during startup.

Many thanks

Is your WAN connection static or dynamic? DHCP or pppoe?

What do you see if you type:

/etc/cron.weekly/refresh-ddns

?

I get the following:

Looking up members.easydns.com
Making HTTPS connection to members.easydns.com

lynx: Can't access startfile https://members.easydns.com/dyn/dyndns.php?system=custom&hostname=bergsweb.com&myip=82.36.188.200

I have a dynamic connection DHCP
