Installation
Compilation
Before performing the steps to compile the PowerDNS server and the OpenDBX backend you have to install the OpenDBX library, the OpenDBX backend you want tu use and its development package, which includes the necessary header. The OpenDBX package can be downloaded from Linuxnetworks.de.
Apply these steps to the source pdns-x.xx.tar.gz file, if you don't want to use a precompiled package:
* Extract the pdns tar file
* Change into the newly created pdns directory
* Extract the opendbxbackend tar file
* Run "cat opendbxbackend.diff | patch -p1"
* Type ./configure --help for the available options
* For dynamic modules:
./configure
--with-modules=""
--with-dynmodules="opendbx"
--enable-recursor
* For a static module:
./configure
--with-modules="opendbx"
--with-dynmodules=""
--enable-recursor
* make && make install
Configuration options
There are a few options through the OpenDBX backend can be configured for your environment. Add them to the pdns.conf file located in /etc/powerdns or /usr/local/etc/ (depends on your configuration while compiling):
- opendbx-backend (default
- mysql) : Name of the backend used to connect to the database server. Currently mysql, pgsql, sqlite and sqlite3 are available.
- opendbx-host (default
- 127.0.0.1) : Host name, IP address or - in case of sqlite and sqlite3 - the directory path to the database file including a trailing slash or backslash (depending on your operating system).
- opendbx-port (default
- none) : TCP/IP port number where the database server is listening to. Most databases will use their default port if you leave this empty.
- opendbx-database (default
- powerdns) : The database name where all domain and record entries are stored. In case of sqlite and sqlite3 it's the name of the database file without leasing slash or backslash.
- opendbx-username (default
- powerdns) : Name of the user send to the DBMS for authentication.
- opendbx-password (default
- none) : Clear text password for authentication in combination with the username.
