Re: [Ddclient-support] something hosed up

[wimpunk <wi...@us...>]

Hi,

I really don't understand how you can break your system that hard it
uses /etc/init.d/ddclient in stead of /usr/bin/ddclient after a default
install.  A default debian installation installs its configuration in
/etc/ddclient.conf.

What do you mean if you say you putted 'hostname=' in front of the
hostname? Do you mean in front of '*****.dnsapi.info'?

If ddclient isn't in your path, you could try to run it with the path
specified which should be /usr/sbin/ in a default debian installation.
You could try to find the logging in syslog or run the verbose version
as specified before.

Regards,

wimpunk.
