DNS-O-Matic add-on
Am just trying Super Poussin's new DNS-O-Matic add-on. Installed, disabled, modified the dnsomatic file and restarted the service. There doesn't seem to be a way to confirm that it's working. If I log into my account on the dnsomatic website, it just sits there saying "Waiting for first update" for both my dyndns and opendns account. Any way to confirm its proper installation and usage?
Thanks!
PS I forgot to mention I installed the 1.1 version that was updated a few hours ago (from 1.0 early this morning).

But i ran into problems getting DNS-o-matic to work. It keeps waiting for the first update.
This is what i've done.
Registered account at DNS-o-matic and setup DynDNS to test
Install the dns-o-matic via the Local Updater
Disabled the service
Change the user/password to the account i've registered with DNS-o-matic using notepad (or am i supposed to edit it another way)
Enable the service
Wait for 5mins, but nothing happened.
So i went to search around and found this thread. Is Shell access needed? I've installed PHP and shell access login on this DUO as well as transmission, does it matter? Can anyone help me on this?
Thank you in advance ^^
I have exactly this problem does anyone have a resolution to this? - super_poussinVirtuosotry the 2.1 http://www.readynas.com/contributed/sup ... ic_2.1.bin

all logs will be in : /c/addons-config/DnsOMatic/ - secret_rivalsAspirantI appear to be having the same problem with DNS-O-Matic that I had with the OpenDNS addon. OpenDNS isn't getting the IP updates and no logs are being created. Could this be a permission problem on the addons-config share? The folders within are created e.g. OpenDNS or DnsDnsOMatic but these folders aren't being populated with log files. I haven't tweaked the permissions on the addons-config share since it was created so it should have the default permissions associated with it. I have also updated the DNS-O-Matic addon to V2.1.
I have been trying to get OpenDNS to update for months now with both addons but no updates happen and no log files are created so I can't troubleshoot the problem. Has anyone else had the no log files problem when using either of these addons. I now have two seperate posts addressing this problem one for OpenDNS, the other for DNS-O-Matic. ANy suggestions would be welcomed.
Thanks. - super_poussinVirtuosocan you try uninstall the add-on and install it again ?
- secret_rivalsAspirantI have tried a reinstall. I am having the same problem I had with the OpenDNS addon > no updates, no logs.
- ksarafAspirantI have installed version 2.1 on my NV+ 4.1.6.
It creates the folders "addons-configs" and "addons-scripts". What is the default password that it sets for these folders? I cannot get into them without the password. If I delete the password, then I can easily access it the DnsOMatic config file to put in my username and password, but I am wondering if I need to put the same password back on for the script to work????
Thank you. - ksarafAspirantMe too. No updates, no logs on version 2.1 (or 2.0)
- super_poussinVirtuosoI will publish a new version based on ddclient
