Yep, you are right! While the problem surfaces using both those 2 programs, it is the ddns web service I use for both of them that is the problem. Here is the shell script that makes the call to start COPS:
Code:
python /share/Web/cops111/pagekite.py --daemonize --optfile=/share/Web/cops111/pagekite.rc mywebsite.pagekite.me
So its the 'pagekite.py' that depends on that (apparently outdated) python module. I have been using Entware-ng 0.97 for years, but now that old version doesn't work on QNAP anymore and the new replacements simply won't work on my NAS. The normal "opkg" command returns a "command not found". I am on the QNAP forum with this issue but so far no joy.
Anyway, assuming I can't budge the Pagekite developer off his seeming refusal to get up to date with python2 and python3 modules, does anyone here have any experience with using a ddns service with COPS on Linux? Pagekite's script eliminates any port forwarding issues altogether, so setup and configuration in the QNAP is straight forward as the above startup script shows.
Anyone have experience with something similar? I pay a few bucks a month for Pagekite as a 'donation', and it has been worth it for many years, but I am looking for something that isn't hung up on an old python module, LoL.
Thanks for any tips!
