Install PowerDNS on CentOS 6.3 64-bit

Install REMI and EPEL repositories and packages

Execute following commands in the VPS SH console:

rpm -ivh http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm rpm -ivh http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-6.rpm yum -y install php php-mcrypt php-pdo php-mysql pdns pdns-backend-mysql mysql-server nano

Create a database and username:

service mysqld start service httpd start mysqladmin create powerdns

Select your own password below:

mysql -Bse “create user ‘powerdns’@’localhost’ identified by ‘password'” mysql -Bse “grant all privileges on powerdns.* to ‘powerdns’@’localhost'”

Create PowerDNS databases and tables

Start mysql console with “mysql” and copy/paste following lines of code:

mysql> use powerdns;

CREATE TABLE domains ( id INT auto_increment, name VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL, master VARCHAR(128) DEFAULT NULL, last_check INT DEFAULT NULL, type VARCHAR(6) NOT NULL, notified_serial INT DEFAULT NULL, account VARCHAR(40) DEFAULT NULL, primary key (id) );

CREATE UNIQUE INDEX name_index ON domains(name);

CREATE TABLE records ( id INT auto_increment, domain_id INT DEFAULT NULL, name VARCHAR(255) DEFAULT NULL, type VARCHAR(6) DEFAULT NULL, content VARCHAR(255) DEFAULT NULL, ttl INT DEFAULT NULL, prio INT DEFAULT NULL, change_date INT DEFAULT NULL, primary key(id) );

CREATE INDEX rec_name_index ON records(name); CREATE INDEX nametype_index ON records(name,type); CREATE INDEX domain_id ON records(domain_id);

CREATE TABLE supermasters ( ip VARCHAR(25) NOT NULL, nameserver VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL, account VARCHAR(40) DEFAULT NULL );

Exit mysql console by typing “exit”:

mysql> exit

Install PowerAdmin

Execute following commands in the VPS SH console:

cd /root wget https://github.com/downloads/poweradmin/poweradmin/poweradmin-2.1.6.tgz tar xvfz poweradmin-2.1.6.tgz cd poweradmin-2.1.6/inc mv config-me.inc.php config.inc.php

Edit config.inc.php and make sure to change password you’ve specified in step “Create a Database and Username”:

nano config.inc.php

Modify “db_pass” and “session_key” to your own values:

$db_host = ‘localhost’; $db_port = ‘3306’; $db_user = ‘powerdns’; $db_pass = ‘password’; $db_name = ‘powerdns’; $db_type = ‘mysql’; $session_key = ‘session_key’;

Move PowerAdmin folder to Apache’s DocumentRoot:

mv /root/poweradmin-2.1.6/* /var/www/html/ service httpd restart

Edit /etc/pdns/pdns.conf and add the following lines, make sure to modify “gmysql-password” to MySQL password you’ve selected in step “Create a Database and Username”:

launch=gmysql gmysql-host=localhost gmysql-user=powerdns gmysql-password=password gmysql-dbname=powerdns

Restart Power DNS daemon:

service pdns restart

Create PowerAdmin account

Proceed to installing PowerAdmin from webserver:

Navigate over to your VPS /install folder (in our case http://185.5.5.00/install/ );

Create a Poweradmin admin account ;

Finish the installation process, and after you get to Step 7, remove /var/www/html/install folder:

rm -rf /var/www/html/install

Now you can navigate to your VPS (http://185.5.5.00/ in our case), and login as admin with password you’ve specified in step “Create PowerAdmin Account”.

PowerDNS: Web Administration

Continuing from where we left off with the PowerDNS article, I needed to additionally install a web front end to administer the new DNS server I had just installed. The whole point of moving away from the bind9 service was to have an alternative that was user friendly after all.

So there were quite a few ones that you can actually look into when it comes to PowerDNS administration tool choices. Here’s a quick list on GitHub.

The one that really caught my attention was the PowerAdmin tool. While the open source python and java based options seemed to be interesting from a hacker’s perspective, from my experience of home network administration, a PHP solution is always easier to install. (Check out the installation wiki here.)

Basically all you need to do is download the powerdns package from here, untar it, and copy it to the web site directory. Then start with the online installer by pointing to the <site>/poweradmin/install URL (for e.g., if your site is hosted on www.example.com, go to www.example.com/poweradmin/install to get started).

Remember to edit the <install_root>/inc/config.inc.php file, as the autogenerated file may not have the right password.
