 |
|
Hello,
i'm trying to use ddclient to update my ip to strato.
When starting via
| Code: | | ddclient -daemon=0 -debug -verbose -noquiet |
it says success...
When starting via
| Code: | | /etc/init.d/ddclient start |
it gives me the following
| Code: |
SGC ~ # /etc/init.d/ddclient restart
* Caching service dependencies ... [ ok ]
find: invalid mode '+0044'
* Starting ddclient ...

Hi!
Can you take a look at the init script which user is used?
That user need read rights to the configuration file, and write rights for the log and pid files

I've chown the following to ddclient:ddclient
/etc/ddclient (folder)
/etc/ddclient/ddclient.conf (file)
/var/cache/ddclient (folder)
/var/cache/ddcleint/ddclient.cache (file)
now it gives me
| Code: |
SGC ddclient # /etc/init.d/ddclient restart
* Stopping ddclient ... [ ok ]
find: invalid mode '+0044'
* Starting ddclient ...
Use of uninitialized value in string ne at /usr/sbin/ddclient line 2335. [ ok ]
SGC ddclient # /etc/init.d/ddclient status
* status: crashed

| Hmm, how do we check if the user has read rights to the configuration file? |

ls -l will print the owner and group of a file together with permissions as a set of flags (Read,Write,eXecute) for owner, followed by group and others.
Creating a new file requires write access to its parent directory. |
