Topic: Ddclient error message

[peterhocking]

Hi

Earlier this week I re-installed SME Server 7.3 on my server & I re-installed ddclient from http://smeserver.free.fr/Files/index.php?dir=sme7/ & entered all my info in so that my domains' IP address could be kept up to date at Zoneedit.

Checking the logs, I found this error message occurring frequently;
Jun 26 20:37:25 mail ddclient[4044]: WARNING:  file /var/cache/ddclient/ddclient.cache, line 5: Invalid Value for keyword 'ip' = ''

Can anyone shed some light on this?

TIA

Peter

Maybe you setup ddclient incorrectly.
Use the "bypass router" or similar setting in the ddclient panel.

I am having the same problem.  But my server is 8.0beta4.  The contribs entry says that it should work on SME 8.

Here is the email message I keep getting every ten minutes or so,

WARNING:  file /var/cache/ddclient/ddclient.cache, line 10: Invalid Value for keyword 'ip' = ''
FAILED:   updating myip.net: Could not connect to dynamic.zoneedit.com.

I tried this, but it made no change:

I also had some problems installing ddclient:

The only thing that I can think of that might be causing a problem is that my ethernet card has two ports instead of one so "External IP detected on eth 1" may not be right.

I tried to log in to Zone Edit and found that my password was not working.  I reset it and it appears to have fixed the problem.

The odd thing is that I was not having any problems reaching my site from the internet, I don't think.  But my mailbox was filling up with these error messages.
