noip2 can't update my IP address correctly after computer reboot

Question

I want to set up a server with using no-ip DDNS service.
I follow this guide, but it can't update my IP address after reboot
the following message is command # noip2 -S

  1 noip2 process active.

  Process 501, started as noip2, (version 2.1.9)
  Using configuration from /usr/local/etc/no-ip2.conf
  Last IP Address set 0.0.0.0
  Account XXX@XXXXXX
  configured for:
          host  XXXXXX.noip.me
  Updating every 30 minutes via /dev/ppp0 with NAT enabled.

after I login and command # service noip2 restart
it can update my IP address.
How can I correct it ?

My OS is debian 8

Solution

I experienced the same error, IP 0.0.0.0 and working after manual service restart.

To fix this I simply put a delay for the script to run the client (and update the IP-address) with 'sleep 10' after 'start)' - line.

DAEMON=/usr/local/bin/noip2
NAME=noip2

test -x $DAEMON || exit 0

case "$1" in
    start)
    echo -n "Starting dynamic address update: "
    sleep 10
    start-stop-daemon --start --exec $DAEMON
    echo "noip2."
    ;;
    stop)
    echo -n "Shutting down dynamic address update:"
    start-stop-daemon --stop --oknodo --retry 30 --exec $DAEMON
    echo "noip2."
    ;;

    restart)
    echo -n "Restarting dynamic address update: "
    start-stop-daemon --stop --oknodo --retry 30 --exec $DAEMON
    start-stop-daemon --start --exec $DAEMON
    echo "noip2."
    ;;

    *)
    echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}"
    exit 1
esac
exit 0
