DDNS Updater DDNS Updater 1.26-002 and -003 "empty" after last Synology update

[sanderl]

Hello,

I have this problem that since the last Synology firmware update I do not have any config/information left in the DDNS updaterpane.

What can be the problem?

I have disabled cross-site forgery in security settings.

Have you tried to recreate new update configs? And which DSM version you are talking about?

 

[sanderl]

Try to recereate new update configs? What is that? Do you mean to add my dns names all again? There were about 60!

I have DSM 4.3-3810 Udate 4. Latest thus.

Try to recereate new update configs? What is that? Do you mean to add my dns names all again?

Yes - just to test if it's a problem with the app itself. And it is not unusual that settings are lost or changed by a firmware update.

 

[sanderl]

I don't dare. Afraid it overwrites all my previous config. How do I backup that?

 

[Frogman]

I don't know exactly where the DDNS Updater saves the config. Maybe you should take a look (using telnet or ssh) into /volume1/@appstore/ , there should be a folder for the DDNS Updater. I assume there is a config file inside - but if this file isn't corrupted there is no reason why the domains are not visible in the app window.

 

[QTip]

You find the ddclient.conf in /var/packages/ddnsupdater/target/

Runs the DS 24h or did it shutdown every day? if 24h, then you can always look in /tmp/cache/ddclient, there is the running copy. Both files should be identical. if you have previously updated to 1.26-003 and the DS were not rebootet, then there is a good chance to have a backup of the previos DDNS updater in /volume1/@tmp

 

[sanderl]

Always on... rebooted after dsm updates off course. I'll have a look tonight...
This is the 3rd time in ddns life time this happens. And it's A LOT of work to fill up alle domains again...

I have also seen the native ddns function of synology. Does that provide the same? Also with custom (svc.joker.com) ddns updates?

 

[Frogman]

No, only the preconfigured services. But i assume it should be possible to edit/extend the preconfigured list (i saw such a remark somewhere here in the board).

 

[QTip]

It never happened to me, always the same config since over 4 years.

 

[sanderl]

these 3 locations all give me a 1k file with no content... How the F### is that possible? It is allways a pain to upgrade my synology and get ddnsupdater working again... and now again... how is this uberhaupt possible?
/volume1/@tmp
/var/packages/ddnsupdater/target/
/tmp/cache/ddclient

[QTip]

Have you edited the config by yourself?

 

[sanderl]

What do ypu mean qtip? I did not change anything other that the gui... i mean adding my ddns names by gui

 

[QTip]

Since so much duplicate entries are present, which can only be specified at post-upgrade script, i try to fix this. But this can not be the reason for the removal of your records.

 

[sanderl]

Qtip, this was not the first time. I had this before.... and I am not alone. Previous updatrs of dsm more people had this. Rmember me asking few years ago for a "back-up" option ?

 

[QTip]

A backup/restore option and other new features are part of DDNS updater 2, but that can still take a while. I realize this is an important feature, and i'll include it in the next version.

 

[sanderl]

I am afraid to put all names back in ddnsupdater again. I think it can be all lost again after next update...

And that sucks because ddnsupdater is a great addon on the synology! I would like a backup (copy config to a share) asap!

 

[QTip]

you can put all your records in and then make a backup of /var/packages/ddnsupdater/target/ddclient.conf, it is a regular text file.

Import and export are now available in version 1.27
