DDNS setup in FVDW firmware

[Jocko]

Ok

So solved

Do you open the port 80 (http) or 443 (https) on your ISP box ?

This hint solved my issue too. It wasn't that straightforward, at least for me =)

I'm bringing up this thread again because my Cloudbox somehow ins't able to sync with the dyns.cx service even if TCP 443 port is opened on the router, in the NAS on the other hand nickaname, host and password are correct.

Is there a log where to check where it fails?

hi Maxiride

As you need to make a donation to get an account for this DDNS provider, I can not test on my side.

Anyhow it is not a port issue because the request is sent from the NAS to the provider. (open a port on a ISP box is mainly required when you want to get an access on the NAS from the WAN)

First check if the daemon /usr/bin/ez-ipupdate is still running :

Code: Select all

ps aux

you should see a line with this binary.
If not whereas you enabled it from the LAN setup menu that would means it fails to connect to the provider server (it aborts after several tries)

To get some traces :
- disable the ddns service
- start debug mode

Code: Select all

/etc/nas_status.sh --start-debug

- enable again the ddns service
- wait around 30min
- read the content of

Code: Select all

cat /var/log/messages

Note: if you did not, please to install all patches available from viewtopic.php?f=7&t=2326 (one fixes an issue related with the Lan setup menu )
