noip config file not found...

[molofishy]

I'm trying to start my noip service:
service noip start

The following is returned:

Starting noip.
Can't locate configuration file /usr/local/etc/no-ip2.conf. (Try -c). Ending!
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/noip: WARNING: failed to start noip

But the config file does exist here: /usr/local/etc/no-ip2.conf

Permissions on the file may prevent it from being read.

Thanks, I did:
chmod 755 /usr/local/etc/no-ip2.conf; and now I can run it with the service command.

Why are you making a configuration file executable?

Good point. I changed it to 644 (it was 600 originally).
