      The first 1 is first minute.  I thought 0-1 is a randomized midnight to 1 am.

      I'll change it to run at 1:01 am

      Run update_file.sh /etc/crontab again

        Scott,

        If you ask me, that's not the best solution.
        say, my Ip changes at 4am, it will take until next day 1h01, until my dyndns will get updated? or am I getting it wrong here?

        Still can't resist to bring up the CachedIP problem again. That's where the problem is according to me, if it can correctly compare cachedIP and current IP, and only contact dyndns if that's different, what actually does at this time, but cachedIP is always 0.0.0.0.

        I'll take a look at the dyndns.class file to see if I can find anything there (not that I'm a freebsd geek, but I do have some programming skills and some linux knowledge)

          The dynamic dns client is run after ANY ip change.  The only reason for the once a day check is to check back in after 28 days to keep the item from expiring.

            seems like it is updatin every hour, of half an our. This could be related to my DHCP renewal time. Sometimes it's 1800 seconds, other times it's 3600 seconds.
            however, I seem to always get the same IP address on every renewal.

            I'll look further into the script.

              You're cache file still reads 0.0.0.0?

              Did it ever succeed?

                nope, cachedIP is always 0.0.0.0, so when it compares wanip with cacheIP, it's always different

                  That's wild.  Try unblocking yourself and watching the first run of the dyndns client, if the provider gives a ok message it should update the cache file.

                    Let's look at the function DetectChange:

                                            log_error("DynDns: Current WAN IP: {$wan_ip}");

                    }

                    especially the last part here
                    in comments, it says:
                    /*  finally if we need updating then store the

                                            if($needs_updating == TRUE) {

                                            } else {
                                                    return FALSE;
                                            }

                    but I don't see anywhere in the script some code that realy updates the cache file?

                      Look further up:

                      if ($this->_detectChange() == FALSE) {
                      $this->_error(10);
                      } else {
                      if ($this->_dnsService == 'dyndns' ||
                      $this->_dnsService == 'dyndns-static' ||
                      $this->_dnsService == 'dyndns-custom' ||

                      {

                        Sorry,

                        there is in function CheckStatus at the end:

                        if($successful_update == true) {
                                                        /* Write WAN IP to cache file */
                                                        conf_mount_rw();
                                                        $file = fopen($this->_cacheFile, 'w');
                                                        fwrite($file, $wan_ip.':'.$currentTime);
                                                        fclose($file);
                                                        conf_mount_ro();
                                                }

                        but it doesn't seem to do it I guess.

                          I have reports from many people that it does work, so I am at a loss.

                            Scott,

                            I've changed the Cachefile to update it with my current IP. then reactivated the dyndns service, and this is what I get in logs:
                            Dec 15 23:40:50 php: /services_dyndns.php: phpDynDNS: No Change In My IP Address and/or 28 Days Has Not Past. Not Updating Dynamic DNS Entry.
                            Dec 15 23:40:50 php: /services_dyndns.php: DynDns: Cached IP: <cache ip="">Dec 15 23:40:50 php: /services_dyndns.php: DynDns: Current WAN IP: <current ip="">Dec 15 23:40:50 php: /services_dyndns.php: DynDns: _detectChange() starting.
                            Dec 15 23:40:50 php: /services_dyndns.php: DynDns: updatedns() starting
                            Dec 15 23:40:50 php: /services_dyndns.php: DynDns: Running updatedns()

                            So that part is working!
                            Still have no clue why the cache file didn't get updated, so'll do some testing now, trying to get my wan ip changed, or to manually change cache file to something else and see what it does</current></cache>

                              update_file.sh /etc/inc/dyndns.class

                              I've added a logging portion to log when the cache file is updated.

                                OK, this is what happened:
                                I've created a new dyndns dynamic host, to do the test, cause it takes some hours to unblock one

                                I've added in the cache file 192.168.1.1
                                I've release and renewed my WAN ip to trigger the dyndns service:
                                in logs:

                                Dec 15 23:56:01 php: /services_dyndns.php: DynDns: Running updatedns()

                                When I check Dyndns website, my account is updated with the new address (I've put 192.168.1.1 in it when creating, now it shows me my current WAN IP )
                                I check the cache file on pfSense, and what do I see? only ":" (without the quotes), so there's no IP or timestamp in it?
                                I do again a release and renew of WAN interface:
                                Dec 15 23:57:20 php: : phpDynDNS: (Success) No Change In IP Address

                                Dec 15 23:57:18 php: : DynDns: Running updatedns()

                                in the logs it also says me now the cache is empty, so not even 0.0.0.0 any more!?
                                I also see in the first successful update, the extra logging you added. But should there also not be the ip you put in the cache?</my></my></my>

                                  Ummmmf.

                                  That appears to be a regression from moving the cache update block.

                                  update_file.sh /etc/inc/dyndns.class

                                  I've made a change to set $wan_Ip

                                    and if I do another release and renew of my wan interface:

                                    seems like cacheIP is OK, but timestamp is still empty. Guess is it the same problem as with the cacheIP variable :P</my></my></my></my>

                                          Checked my logs again this morning (getting paranoid here?), but all was running fine:

                                            So, the question is, is this fixed on 0.96.4?
                                            Guess not, right?
                                            Has a ticket been raised to solve this?
                                            How can we check in the tickets page if a ticket has been fixed in a new version?
                                            Sorry but I want to make sure that my dyndns account is not deleted again ;).
                                            Cheers
