I'm just at work but I'd say thats wrong. The initial method used hash authentication. You've now changed to a different method but kept all the same commands.

I've just check on a couple of routers - freedns.afraid.org
They both work perfect
I wonder if your ISP or Government is doing something?
Changing ddns_providers.conf makes ddns config page unusable

I want to change the DDNS update url of freedns.afraid in /etc/ddns_providers.conf file but I noticed that every minor changes in this file makes my ddns GUI config page unusable and remove every choosable setting in it.
I copy the config file to my computer using pscp then edit it and again overwrite it in its place.Even adding and deleting a space in this file makes the ddns config page unresponsive:

Can anyone help me about this.I see many posts that people change this file.Am I choosing a right method for modifying the file?

I suspect that it might be to do with the default encoding for the editor on your PC being different to that on the router. Perhaps you could try modifying the file directly on the router using vim. (make a backup of the file first!)

Also the second method used hash authentication.It only have a little different url address.

I really get confused that why this only happens in 1.7 and not 1.6. I try to check both version config related to my ddns and they had completely same config and setting untill now.
I have a question at this point:
Where is the IP address field which used to send local IP address to the server in initial method of gargoyle.Because other ddns urls have the similar field for that purpose.

I used below code for updating :
Code: Select all
/usr/bin/ddns_gargoyle -P /etc/ddns_providers.conf -C /etc/ddn
s_gargoyle.conf -v
and it returns :
(I returned to gargoyle default update url in ddns_providers.conf)
sh1sum:not found

As this would be helpful for others with same problem I opened a new topic for it.I have difficulties updating ddns we discussed about it here:
DDNS update failed in gargoyle 1.7 but not 1.6
Now I try to use below code for updating DDNS in gargoyle 1.7 which I test it successfully in 1.6:
Code: Select all
/usr/bin/ddns_gargoyle -P /etc/ddns_providers.conf -C /etc/ddn
s_gargoyle.conf -v
it failed with error:
Can anyone tell what is wrong with it?

I ran below command in both gargoyle 1.6 and 1.7 :
1.7 returned with :
but 1.6 returned with:
Code: Select all
sha1sum: can't open 'aaa': No such file or directory
And I think this is my problem in updating DDNS.
