Hi Everyone,

during the last few weeks I set up a ClearOS 5.2 system. Since the end of April the automatic IP update is no longer working.

In the syswatch logfile I can find the following entry (every ten minutes):

Wed May 16 22:55:53 2012 info: system - heartbeat...
Wed May 16 22:55:53 2012 warn: system - dynamic DNS update failed - see system log
Wed May 16 22:55:53 2012 info: system - DNS update will try again on next heartbeat

In the system logfile I can't find any corresponding entries.

Maybe I changed something that this is not working anymore. But really I can not imagine what should effect the dynamic DNS. Is anyone able to help me?

Hi,

is there no one with a solution for this issue or at least with an idea how to localize the cause of this problem?

Has anything happened to your ClearCenter login? Have you changed its password or the password in ClearOS?

[edit]
I am not even sure you need a password for it .....

You can see the warning is coming from /usr/sbin/syswatch after it executes the /usr/sbin/dnsupdate but I don't do perl or php so I don't know how to debug.

Another thought, have you changed your system name and not updated ClearCenter?

Hi Nick,

no, I changed nothing.

I can update the dynamic DNS manually through the web configuration as well as via the clear center portal. So generally it works, only the automatic not.

Is there anything in /var'log/messages or /var/log/system corresponding to the syswatch message?

Ive got the same problem. It started back while I was running 5.2. It wont update for some reason.
Then it changed from my personal registered domain (at clearos) to the clearcenter name. My domain name was no longer in the drop down.
Its doing this with 6.2 as well.

I checked all log files. There are no corresponding entries.

The only thing I found is in the network status overwiew in the webconfig. Sometimes I can see an entrie with the clearsdn IP address as destination with the status "TIME_WAIT". But this should mean (or not?) that a connection was (is) successful.

The system detects allways my new IP address.

Earlier I found this thread:

www.clearfoundation.com/component/option...8/func,view/id,2418/

I removed the file "dnsupdate" like Ben Chambers wrote. Since then it is missing. But this was only I try to solve my problem which has been existing before.

Hi,

My ClearOS won't update my dynamic DNS neither.
Previously in 5.2 I had this working like a charm, but since I'm on 6 the only way I've gotten the auto-update to work, is by restarting the system after my ISP gave me a new adres.
It doesn't detect IP updates automatically...

I read something about the heartbeat, but can't seem to find it in my logs.

Could anyone help me out here?

Have you opened port TCP 1875 (Service ClearSDN)? Network --> Incoming Firewall --> Allowed Incoming Connections --> Add --> Standard service --> select ClearSDN and add.

Have you installed the ClearCenter Dynamic DNS app from the Marketplace? It is not installed by default.
