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).

- mickychingAspirantHi guys,
I've installed 1.50 and it still does not appear to be running.
It updates if I run the script manually but does not seem to run automatically. According to FrontView, the add-on is running but I have checked the logs and they are not being updated.
My understanding is that it should check every 5 minutes. Is this still the case ?
Can anyone suggest how I can confirm that the process is running and suggest anything else I can check.
Thanks in advance. - super_poussinVirtuosouse the 2.6 version
there's no log but it runs every 5 min
1) install it
2) disable it
3) modify ddclient.conf
4) launch it - ksarafAspirantI installed version 2.6
what is the password for the addons-config directory?? - ksarafAspirantVersion 2.6
- super_poussinVirtuosothere's no password for addons-conf directory
can you reboot the nas ?
btw you can also try to download again the addon to be sure you have the correct version - super_poussinVirtuoso
- ksarafAspirantOk, removed 2.6, deleted the addons-config dir, reboot, install 2.7, reboot
-it created the addons-config dir, again with a 6 character password.
-When I try to start or stop the DNSoMatic service, it tells me the same thing - serivce cannot be stopped, or service was already stopped/failed to start.
-Only When I remove the password from the addons-config dir can i get into it to edit the config file. :( - super_poussinVirtuosoI did not put a password on addons-config share , this share is accessible by everyone
so really strange
can you download again the 2.7 again and test it ? - ksarafAspirantOk, So I did this all over again and it still does not work. Again, this is on a NV+ with Firmware: RAIDiator 4.1.6 [1.00a043]
Installed version 2.7
Stopped servive - Failed to stop
REBOOT
New share created: "addons-config" share has a password - cannot access directory (even as Admin)
Remove password to be able to access the directory
Edit ddclient.conf - add username and password
Restart DnsOMatic
- Fails to start
Reboot system
Dnsomatic still fails to start (notice the dot next to DnsOMatic is always greyed out--always stopped, can never start it) - super_poussinVirtuosocan you launch it by ssh and give me the error message ?
