Installing DynDNS

Installation:
wget --no-check-certificate https://sourceforge.net/projects/ddclient/files/latest/download?source=typ_redirect bzip2 -dc ddclient-3.8.3.tar.bz2 | tar -xv cd ddclient-3.8.3/ mkdir /etc/ddclient mkdir /var/cache/ddclient cp ddclient /usr/local/sbin cp sample-etc_ddclient.conf /etc/ddclient/ddclient.conf cp sample-etc_rc.d_init.d_ddclient /etc/rc.d/init.d/ddclient chkconfig --add ddclient cd .. rm -rf ddclient-3.8.3/

Now edit the /etc/ddclient/ddclient.conf file:

vim /etc/ddclient/ddclient.conf

so that it contains something like (complete with your own dyndns login data):

use=web login=yourdndnslogin password=yourdyndnspassword server=members.dyndns.org protocol=dyndns2 yourhost.dyndns.domain Now start the ddclient daemon: /etc/init.d/ddclient start You can check status and troubleshoot using: /etc/init.d/ddclient status /etc/init.d/ddclient stop /etc/init.d/ddclient restart tail /var/log/messages
