I was looking for hours to solve this problem. Another important step when you create this new .php is to give sufficient permissions: chmod ugo+rwx /usr/syno/bin/ddns/namecheap.php
Great work! Thank you!

I still get the same error, the IP is updated but I get an error, someone if it works by updating the IP and without any error?
