FTP issue - think it is my fault
Posted: Tue 28 Jun 2016 8:34 pm
As of Sunday morning at 4.00am, my Pi has stopped updating my website. MXDiags log is reporting "Error connecting ftp - Could not resolve host 'ftp.menstonweather.co.uk' ".
Now, I was having a problem with not being able to resolve my Pi name on my internal network and it seems this was caused by the wireless network adaptor on the Pi obtaining two IP addresses.
A bit of googling on Saturday found this https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/view ... 8&t=111709 and I duly followed the post "by hutauf ยป Tue Jul 14, 2015 7:17 pm" which resolved the problem for me also. I rebooted the pi and everything was fine, the website continued to update without issue, until Sunday at 4.00am when I believe the Pi had a scheduled reboot.
I have tried to reverse the process by reinstalling the dhcpcd5 package but this is also throwing up an error:
"Err http://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian/ wheezy/main dhcpcd5 armhf 6.7.1-1+rpi1
Something wicked happened resolving 'archive.raspberrypi.org:http' (-5 - No address associated with hostname)
Failed to fetch http://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian/p ... _armhf.deb Something wicked happened resolving 'archive.raspberrypi.org:http' (-5 - No address associated with hostname)
E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?"
Running apt-get update also throws up similar messages.
So clearly I have caused an issue by playing with things I obviously don't understand........and now I don't know what to do to get back out of the problem.
Many brain cells are better than my half a brain cell, so can anyone give me any pointers?
