Help: ... Failure (bad HTTP status: 404: Error 404 : Page not found )

[DevXen]

TLDR: FreeDNS is not connecting. it says: Failure (bad HTTP status: 404: Error 404 : Page not found ), 1m48s ago

1. Is this urgent: No

2. DNS provider(s) you use: FreeDNS/DuckDNS

3. Program version: Not sure how to check version on unraid (no logs in appdata, only config/updates json files). but I am using the latest docker image from repository: qmcgaw/ddns-updater. also it only appeared a few weeks ago in the community apps so i'd guess it's on the latest.

   Running version latest built on 2020-03-13T01:30:06Z (commit d0f678c)

4. What are you using to run the container: docker-compose? Unraid Docker.

5. Extra information (optional)

Logs:

2021/08/22 08:26:48 INFO Updating record [domain: homeplex.org | host: [removed] | provider: freedns | ip: ipv4] to use [IP removed]
2021/08/22 08:26:48 ERROR bad HTTP status: 404: Error 404 : Page not found

Configuration file (remove your credentials!):

{
  "settings": {
      "provider": "freedns",
      "domain": "homeplex.org",
      "host": "[Removed]",
      "token": "Token from afraid.org - found in the link to directly update IP",
      "ip_version": "ipv4"
  }
}

it's worth noting that none of my FreeDNS addresses update. but all my DuckDNS ones do.

Host OS: Unraid

Can you try https://sync.afraid.org/u/<your-token>/ in your browser (make sure to remove the url from your browser history to not leak your token)? What do you get?

Not sure how to check version on unraid

I was just meaning the docker image version which is logged out as you did, perfect!

Hey I apologize i got pretty busy with work. but i tried the url, and it shows: Error 404 : Page not found
So i checked the direct update link. and the token is the same. but the url for the direct update link on their site is:

https://freedns.afraid.org/dynamic/update.php?>

So maybe they changed their update url? i dunno.

Just confirming that all my FreeDNS update URLS are https://freedns.afraid.org/dynamic/update.php?token

Edit: @DevXen Just found there is a v2 dynamic dns config screen at https://freedns.afraid.org/dynamic/v2/
Go there and enable Dynamic DNS for the applicable subdomains and then you'll be able to see the sync.afraid.org URLs. I think the documentation should note this since the v2 interface isn't what's shown by default.

@DevXen sorry for the delay, I must had missed the notification email.

@jhotmann Nice! But should the program use the php url instead to simplify setup? Or do you see any reason to prefer the v2 dynamic dns url?

[DevXen]

@jhotmann That worked. thank you for your help. I agree the documentation should note that.

@qdm12 it's all good and i got it working. thank you for your help as well.

I would stick with the current setup. Their V2 API has some advantages over V1 and with the updated documentation it shouldn't be an issue to configure.
