Gave up on trying to setup inadyn.
Solved my problem with simple cron job running every 20min:
Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh
# Update Namecheap DDNS record
host_name="subdomain"
domain="your_domain"
domain_password="your_ddns_password"
output="/full_path/update-ddns.log"
fetch -v -o - "https://dynamicdns.park-your-domain.com/update?host=$host_name&domain=$domain&password=$domain_password" 2>&1 |tee $output
Works like a charm =)

copy & paste in a new file like mynamecheap and copy this file to somewhere in your install, /usr/local/sbin/ could be a good place, revise that have execute privileges and test that you can launch from System|Advanced|Cron (webgui).

in the cron webgui you need to write the name of the previous script, and define what you want that cron can be executed. ( write full path to your script).

Sorry for bumping this old thread, but my script stopped working after many years. When i manually insert the
domain and
domain_password into the url, it can work. When I manually run cron, it tells me that it is successfully ran, but the ip address is not being updated. Anyone have any ideas?
Current version:
9.2.0.1 - Shigawire (revision 972)
Code used:
Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh
# Update Namecheap DDNS record
host_name1="@"
host_name2="www"
domain="<<MYURL.COM>>"
domain_password="<<PASSWORD FROM NAMECHEAP>>"
output="/var/log/system.log"
fetch -v -o - "https://dynamicdns.park-your-domain.com/update?host=$host_name1&domain=$domain&password=$domain_password"
fetch -v -o - "https://dynamicdns.park-your-domain.com/update?host=$host_name2&domain=$domain&password=$domain_password"
