Did you try to disable your firewall for testing purposes?
Any errors in your mail log?

 

The error is related to set up problems.
My setup is as follows:
domain with dyndns.org; I believe this is fine.

Where I have my problems is the I cannot get ddclient up and running. I get the following WARNING which results in not functioning:
ddclient[629]: WARNING: Cannot create file '/var/run/ddclient.pid'. (Permission denied)
ddclient.conf is just standard:
daemon=300
syslog=yes
mail=root
mail-failure=root
pid=/var/run/ddclient.pid
cache=/tmp/ddclient.cache
use=web, web=checkip.dyndns.com/, web-skip='IP Address' ## 2) via our CheckIP server
login=aaa
password=bbb
protocol=dyndns2
server=members.dyndns.org
wildcard=YES
custom=yes, theragafamily.com

I did not change the path to the pid file- All doc mentioned the same: /var/run
I checked though in /etc/init.d/ddclient and found this:
pid=/var/run/ddclient/ddclient.pid; anothe path.
I played with chaning paths btw conf and /etc/init.d/ddclient but cannot find a solution
In google there are a lot of links to this message but no solution

 

What's the output of

Code:

ls -la /var/run/

?
