Since I updated to the <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/fedora" title="Fedora" rel="homepage" href="http://fedoraproject.org/">Fedora 13, I was getting error from the <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/dynamic_dns" title="Dynamic DNS" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_DNS">Dynamic DNS client for afraid. I was not getting enough time to fix this, so finally I decided to fix this in the night itself 🙂

Problem:
On running

afraid-dyndns

I was getting the error:

Entity: line 100: <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/parsing" title="Parsing" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parsing">parser error : Opening and ending tag mismatch: br line 99 and div

So here is the solution :

On further investigation I found that the issue was not with the afraid server but with getting the external IP. So I decided to use my own site to get the IP. And changed the following in the afraid-dyndns file:

Comment out the following code:

#$xml = get(&#8221;http://ip-address.domaintools.com/myip.xml&#8221;);
#die &#8221;Failed fetching <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/ip_address" title="IP address" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_address">IP address!&#8221; unless $xml;
#echo (&#8221;Got IP:&#8221;. $xml);

#$o = XMLin($xml);
#$extip = $o->{proxy_ip}; # external address

And add the following line just below the just commented lines:

$extip = get(&#8221;http://amit-agarwal.co.in/mystuff/getip_txt.php&#8221;);
$extip =~ s/\n//;

This change be sufficient to get you going again.. 🙂<h6 class="zemanta-related-title">Related articles by Zemanta <ul class="zemanta-article-ul"> <li class="zemanta-article-ul-li"><a href="http://blog.amit-agarwal.co.in/2010/03/23/unbound-variable-bash-completion-not-working-and-having-issues-with-other-stuff-like-command-not-found/">unbound variable – bash completion not working and having issues with other stuff like command not found.
