My zoneedit account is on the legacy server legacy.zoneedit.com. If you set up ddclient 'out of the box' it does not work for zoneedit servers, appararently some changes have been made to the servers. Here is how I set it up.
Instal ddclient over an ssh terminal. There is a 'howto' use ssh in the user wiki on the excito web site.
Code: Select all
su
Code: Select all
apt-get install ddclient
After setup is complete goto /etc
Code: Select all
cd /etc
Code: Select all
cp ddclient.conf ddclient.old
Code: Select all
nano ddclient.conf
New configuration
Code: Select all
# Configuration file for ddclient generated by debconf
#
# /etc/ddclient.conf
pid=/var/run/ddclient.pid
protocol=zoneedit1
use=web, web=dynamic.zoneedit.com/checkip.html,
web-skip='Current IP Address:'
server=dynamic.zoneedit.com
login=YourLoginNameforZoneedit
password='yourpasswordtoZoneedit'
#don't forget the quotes around the password
yourdomainname.xx, yourotherdomain.xx
#any fully qualified domain name you want to update separated by a comma.
Test your configuration with the debug mode and check that the dns servers are updated.
Code: Select all
ddclient -debug -verbose /etc/ddclient.conf
Code: Select all
/etc/init.d/ddclient restart
