Title: easydns;parse error conf file
Post by: john on June 02, 2003, 04:37:37 AM

I just installed ez-ipupdate from myezserver site  on sme 5.6u4
and followed the howto up to step 3.

when I run /sbin/e-smith/dynamic-dns/easydns start I get the following error
"error parsing conf file "etc/easydns.conf"

easydns.conf file

service-type=easydns
name=xxxx:xxxx
host=xxxx.com
mx=xxxx.com&backmx=YES
wildcard
interface=eth1
cache-file=/tmp/ez-ipudate.cache


I have rebooted the system several times but that does not seem to work. your help will be appreciated.

thanks

john

If your modifying this file using windows it could be a LF/CRLF difference.  Try adding your modifications directly via SSH instead of via Samba/FTP/etc.

You can use a text editor like pico or vi.

I recieved the error, immediately after installing easydns rpm and rebooting the system  and before I edited the file.

My only suggestion would be to review http://leaf.sourceforge.net/devel/jnilo/ezipupd3.html and ensure your settings are correct and your configuration file is correctly defined.

It looks to me like the entry that is causing it to fail is:
mx=xxxx.com&backmx=YES

I see no type of backupmx argument listed as a supplemental argument for the mx= argument.

Hope this helped,
Nathan
