<dl><dd> DNSdoctor only look for an enabled IPv6 stack to authorize the use of IPv6 addresses. It would be a good idea to disable the IPv6 stack on your computer if you don't have the connectivity. Alternatively in DNSdoctor you can restrict the use to only the IPv4 stack by setting the environment variable <code>DDOC_IP_STACK=4</code>, or you can use the -4 switch to force IPv4 only connectivity.
</dd></dl>

<dl><dd> Use the environment variable <tt>DDOC_INPUT</tt> set to your input mode, or use the command line option <code>--INPUT=<i>im</i></code>. The input modes currently supported are <code>cli</code>, <code>cgi</code>, <code>inetd</code> and <code>gtk</code>.

<dl><dd> Some debugging messages are sent before the debugging level is initialised by the command line, in this case use the environment variable <tt>DDOC_DEBUG</tt> set to the desired level. But keep in mind that <tt>DDOC_DEBUG</tt> will be overrided by the -d <i>lvl</i> option.
</dd></dl>
<div class="editsection" style="float:right;margin-left:5px;">[<a href="http://www.dnsdoctor.org/?title=FAQ&action=edit&section=4" title="FAQ">edit</a>]</div><a name="I_would_like_to_easily_test_DNSdoctor_without_doing_a_full_installation."></a><h2> I would like to easily test DNSdoctor without doing a full installation. </h2>
<dl><dd> You can define the environment variable <tt>DDOC_INSTALL_PATH</tt> to the initial DNSdoctor directory.
</dd></dl>
<div class="editsection" style="float:right;margin-left:5px;">[<a href="http://www.dnsdoctor.org/?title=FAQ&action=edit&section=5" title="FAQ">edit</a>]</div><a name="Why_do_I_get_rubbish_or_wrong_results_when_doing_the_icmp_test"></a><h2> Why do I get rubbish or wrong results when doing the icmp test </h2>
<dl><dd> DNSdoctor use the command <tt>ping</tt> to perform this test, so you should set the constants <tt>ping4</tt> and <tt>ping6</tt> in the configuration file so that the ping is correctly invoked: "stop after 5 echo requests, doesn't output messages, and return an exit code of 0 in case of success". If you are using DNSdoctor on the Window plateform, you better remove the test.

<dl><dd> The default encoding is UTF-8, either you can configure your terminal to use UTF-8, or you can specify the desired encoding after the locale by using a dot as separator (ex: <code>LANG=fr.latin1</code>); in the last case you need to have <tt>libiconv</tt> installed.

<dl><dd> By default, <tt>djbdns</tt> or <tt>tinydns</tt> don't listen on TCP. See <a href="http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/tcp.html" class='external free' title="http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/tcp.html" rel="nofollow">http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/tcp.html</a> to enable it on djbdns.

<dl><dd> DNSdoctor is <i>policy neutral</i>, the set of test to use is described in a profile, so you just need to edit this configuration file.
</dd></dl>
<div class="editsection" style="float:right;margin-left:5px;">[<a href="http://www.dnsdoctor.org/?title=FAQ&action=edit&section=9" title="FAQ">edit</a>]</div><a name="DNSdoctor_crash_when_reading_configuration_files_or_the_message_catalogs"></a><h2> DNSdoctor crash when reading configuration files or the message catalogs </h2>
<dl><dd> REXML is used to parse the XML files, but it only checks for well formed XML and doesn't perform validation against the DTD, so when you edit the configuration files or the message catalogs you should ensure that the files are valid, for that purpose you can use <tt>xmllint</tt> for example.

<p>There is a problem with the right thread library not being used, if this case happen, try setting the environment variable <tt>LD_PRELOAD</tt> to <tt>/usr/lib/libc_r.so</tt>.
