AccountHash

[andrsv]

Can't get Hashmap to work(values are slightly changed to avoid abuse).

I keep getting the error-message
anders@anders/usr/bin$ afraid-dyndns
No AccountHash in configuration file - please see README for instructions. Done at /usr/bin/afraid-dyndns line 62.

As outlined in the error message, this error will occur if AccountHash does not exist in the configuration file. However, that error will also occur if the configuration file is either non-existent or cannot be read. I just tested such myself.

Try adding this code at line 58:
die("Configuration file either does not exist or cannot be read.\n") unless(&readfile($CONF));

Thanks!

That is very plausible. Today my computer wouldn't boot as it could not mount parts of my disc.

I'll test it if i manage to boot my computer.

Thanks,

it seems I had the wrong version of the program, I downloaded by instructions from http://freedns.afraid.org/scripts/freedns.clients.php.

Problem solved after updating to latest version.

Just FYI, I encountered this problem when installing from the Fedora Core repositories. Installing this version fixed it. Bug filed with the Red Hat's Bugzilla.
