I have my domain name " gabrix.ath.cx " registered at dyndns.org from nearly 2 years and a never seen before issue came out , what does it mean ?: Code: SUCCESS: updating gabrix.ath.cx: good: IP address set to 87.20.151.187 FAILED: updating wildcard: notfqdn: A Fully-Qualified Domain Name was not provided It's updating the domain name in the configuration file but it's not updating the wildcard which allows me to use subdomain names like www.gabrix.ath.cx . mail.gabrix.ath.cx etc. If before i was reaching my web server writing www.gabrix.ath.cx now i can't and i can only reach it using its domain name with no * before the domain name i registered http://gabrix.ath.cx . This is my ddclient.conf Code: pid=/var/run/ddclient.pid protocol=dyndns2 use=web, web=dyndns server=members.dyndns.org login=username password='password' gabrix.ath.cx wildcard = yes "A fully qualified domain name was not provided" refers to www.gabrix.ath.cx , but what's the point to have a wildcard as option , than ? Strange . I rember if i launched an the ouput was www.gabrix.ath.cx is an alias for gabrix.ath.cx 80.80.80.180.
I always forget to say i run debian etch and i have the latest stable version of debian progs , my fault , i by now got over this installing bind9. After i edited bind zone files i manage to resolve www.gabrix.ath.cx as expected as alias for domain gabrix.ath.cx , but if i'm not wrong in the past wasn't necessary .
Possible Solution. Gabrix, I have just had the same problem with my own DynDNS domain name and found that this was caused by the ordering of items in the configuration file. Could I suggest that you move the domain name "gabrix.ath.cx" be moved to the very bottom of the file. This would then look like: Code: pid=/var/run/ddclient.pid protocol=dyndns2 use=web, web=dyndns server=members.dyndns.org login=username password='password' wildcard = yes gabrix.ath.cx Cheers, Brian.
