ddclient - DNS record updating

Use this contrib when you have a sme server connected to a ISP service using a dynamic IP, and you wish to host multiple domains.

ddclient is a client for updating dynamic DNS entries for domains hosted at different DNS providers.

Configure your dynamic host domains via the ddclient server manager panel.

ddclient can be used on servers configured in server gateway mode or in server only mode.

	Warning:
	When you have the smeserver.free.fr sme7-ddclient contrib installed and you run yum upgrade with the smecontribs repository enabled on your server, watch out! There is a smeserver-ddclient package that will get installed as an upgrade and this conflicts with the sme7-ddclient package ! Remove the sme7-ddclient first, see instructions below.

	Warning:
	There are serious installation & functional problems with the smeserver-ddclient contrib that is in both the smecontribs and smetest repos. Until such time as they are fixed, please use the sme7-ddclient contrib from smeserver.free.fr, see below.

yum install --enablerepo=smecontribs smeserver-ddclient

There is no need to run the signal-event post-upgrade and reboot commands.

A new panel will be added to the server manager.

Use this panel to configure domain records you wish to keep updated with your dynamic IP using the ddclient contrib

yum remove smeserver-ddclient

Note: RPM at smeserver.free.fr works with SME 8

This page provides a link to an externally hosted ddclient contrib for sme7.x

Download the latest rpm version from

http://smeserver.free.fr/Files/index.php?dir=sme7/

to an empty folder eg /tmp

Alternatively use the wget command shown below.

The currently available rpm is:

Then cd to that folder and install the rpm (change the rpm name in the following command to match the latest available version)

cd /tmp
wget http://smeserver.free.fr/Files/sme7/sme7-ddclient-3.7.3-7.noarch.rpm
