error-record-invalid when running on linux

[JeffRhysJones]

I am running the following java:

openjdk version "1.8.0_181" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_181-8u181-b13-1~deb9u1-b13) OpenJDK Client VM (build 25.181-b13, mixed mode)

..and I am having a hard time trying to find a DDNS client updater for Linux!

After downloading dnsmadeeasy.jar - running it with the following:

java -jar dnsmadeeasy.jar

Returns the external IP of my system OK, but on the same line, I get ", error-record-invalid"

There is no file created in ~/.dnsmadeeasy/config.txt

I created it manually, but this did not fix the error.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Jeff

Weird. I did a new release that prints the config file when it is created. Though now that I think about it, if it created it somewhere weird, then it won't print it because it won't create it again!

You can try passing -Duser.home=/some/path to Java, then it should create a /some/path/.dnsmadeeasy/ directory and save the config file there. Without a config file, it won't have a valid user/pass for DnsMadeEasy. The error-record-invalid comes from their web service. What you want to see is success.
