[Ddclient-support] ddclient updates not working -- invalid logins

[Mark A. <ma...@gm...>]

Greetings!

Around the end of July my automatic ddns updates stopped working. My 
domain is registered at namecheap.com and I was on chat with them for a 
couple of hours before they finally told me that they can't help me and 
provided a link to information about manually updating my ddns. I find 
that a bit unsatisfying and am considering moving my registrar but I 
wanted to see if I could get this sorted out first.

The trouble is in here somewhere. This is the output from "ddclient 
--force" on my server:

# ddclient -force

My ddclient config looks like this:


## NameCheap (namecheap.com)
##
use=web, web=dynamicdns.park-your-domain.com/getip \
protocol=namecheap                              \
server=dynamicdns.park-your-domain.com  \
login=adams-lan.org                     \
password=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx               \updated to below key 
on 9/16/18


That's they way the individual I chatted with at namecheap had me 
configure it. I noticed that information at ddclient's wiki was slightly 
different:


protocol=namecheap
server=dynamicdns.park-your-domain.com         \defaults to 
dynamicdns.park-your-domain.com
login=adams-lan.org    \login name and password registered with the service
password=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
adams-lan.org  \the host registered with the service.


Unfortunately, that didn't work either.

Can anybody shed some light on this for me?

I would appreciate it.

Thanks.
