Hi QTip,
I'm having the same symptoms as described above. I'm having a DS214 running DSM 5.0-4528 Update 1.
I followed the steps, and installed the Perl package from the Synology Package Center. I then installed Init_3rdparty ver. 1.7-002 and ddnsupdater ver. 1.27-002. I mistakenly tried to run the ddnsupdater from Safari. When I do so, I only see the raw PHP code. So, I continued searching for answers and found a page describing that I needed "ddclient" and "perl-io-socket-ssl" (
link) installed, and for that I would need IPKG installed (
link). But, nothing helped - Safari wouldn't show the DDNS updater.
Finally, I found one of your posts stating "use Google Chrome", and so I did. Now, I have the issue that I get a "grey screen", my DDNS updater will not go into "running" mode, and despite DDNS updater won't run, I tried to open the Synology "Main Menu", and that's where getting "grey screen". I have tried re-installing both Init_3rdparty and DDNS updater.
Opening the Chrome Developer Console tells me:
"Unexpected token" -> ddnsupdater.php:135
"dmsversion is not defined" -> ddnsupdater.js:24
