Category: service configuration Group: current version Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Feng (fhu02) Assigned to: wimpunk (wimpunk) Summary: need /var/cache/ddclient for daemon mode Initial Comment: Your program is very easy to use and setup. Thanks for doing it. There is just one problem I need to report: You need to update the README file to instruct people to create /var/cache/ddclient if it doesn't exist. Or better yet, have the ddclient to create one itself. I am running it under Ubuntu 7.10, with ddclient-3.7.3 See below for the debug output (through which I discovered the problem): ///////////////////// WARNING: updating xxxxx.dyndns.org: nochg: No update required; unnecessary attempts to change to the current address are considered abusive FATAL: Cannot create file '/var/cache/ddclient/ddclient.cache'. (No such file or directory) Can't exec "sendmail": No such file or directory at /usr/sbin/ddclient line 1346. ddclient: cannot execute command | sendmail -oi root. ///////////////// ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Pierre DELAAGE (pdelaage) Date: 2008-12-30 21:02 Message: Same problem under Mandriva 2008, running ddclient 3.7.3 in daemon mode, and using a customized version of the sample-etc_rc.d_init.d_ddclient.redhat init script (replaced sh by bash at the beginning and put "LSB" style BEGIN/END INIT INFO block). Totally agree that, at least, the README must be updated. Another way to see the problem is by doing /etc/rc.d/init.d/ddclient status after a start. The status says "ddclient dead but pid file exists". Some too confident people may miss that their ddclient daemon is in fact NOT running. Just in case this may help. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=676128&aid=1860800&group_id=116817 |
