DNS-O-Matic patch for 1.2.3-Release
-
Yes, it should work on the embedded version; that's what I'm using. I actually haven't tested it on the full installed version.
I don't know why it's failing. Maybe you've already applied the patch or otherwise modified those files (?) – if you try to apply the patch twice in a row, it will fail the second time. You could try to undo the patch using the instructions at the end of my original post and the reapply it. If it still fails, post the contents of the .rej files (cat /etc/inc/dyndns.class.rej, etc…) and maybe we can tell what's going on from that.
-
This was my first attempt to use the patch on a new install. I have squid and squidguard installed if this might affect anything. I did not modify any files directly on the router prior to trying the patch.
Here is the contents of the .rej file:
Thanks in advace!

I wonder if squid/squidguard modify these files – I can't think of any reason why they would. It looks like I'll need one more thing. Could you attach your dyndns.class and services_dyndns.php files? Here's how to copy them from the router to the current directory on your desktop:
scp root@192.168.1.1:/etc/inc/dyndns.class .
scp root@192.168.1.1:/usr/local/www/services_dyndns.php . -
files attached

The only difference between the files that you attached and the original pfSense ones is that yours have DOS line endings. This leads me to think that the problem is probably due to non-Unix line endings in the patch. Your web browser might have changed the line endings in the patch when it downloaded it because it thought that the patch was a text file.
There are two ways to fix the line endings. The first is to use a good text editor like Notepad++ to convert the line endings in the patch from DOS/Windows to Unix before scp'ing it to your pfSense box.
The other way is to convert the patch's line endings on your pfSense box. It was difficult finding a way to do this due to the limited utilities in pfSense, but this worked in my testing:
awk '{ sub(/\r$/,""); print }' dnsomatic_1.2.3.patch > dnsomatic_1.2.3_fixed.patch
Then just use dnsomatic_1.2.3_fixed.patch in the patch command.

Worked like a charm. Thanks for the help.
-
Cool, I'm glad that worked. :)
-
here were two things wrong. The ordering of the steps needed to be changed so that the filesystem was remounted read/write before scp'ing, and the patch needed to be scp'ed as the root user instead of the admin user.
Works perfectly here too. Thanks. :)

I'm very new to pfSense. I have applied these patches. They seemed to work fine. There was no error. However, now I want to enable the DNS-O-Matic server. I have signed up for an account, but I don't know where/how in pfSense to add this. What do I do? I've tried going to: Services:DynamicDNS Client but I don't know what settings to add. Thanks!

Here's a basic setup in pfSense:
-
Go go Services and then Dynamic DNS.
-
Check the "Enable" checkbox in the Dynamic DNS header.
Service Type: DNS-O-Matic
Hostname: all.dnsomatic.com
MX: <leave blank="">Wildcard: Check
Username: <your dns-o-matic="" username="">Password:</your></leave> -
Click save.
See the DNS-O-Matic documentation for more details.
A DynDNS tip
If you have multiple hostnames mapped to the same IP address with DynDNS and you're using DNS-O-Matic to keep them up to date, list all of the hostnames as a comma-separated list in the host field of a single service entry in DNS-O-Matic. For example, create a single DynDNS service entry in DNS-O-Matic, enter your DynDNS username and password, and then your list of hosts: myhost1.homeip.net,myhost2.dyndns.net,myhost3.dyndns.net. I have found this to be much more reliable than creating a separate service entry for each hostname because it updates all of those hosts at once instead of one at a time. This is specific to the DynDNS update API. -
