Well, i would say keep the function as is, just convert the domain name to the IDN format (xn--bleh-bleh)!

well, i think what you want more or less is delegating subdomain to DNS ... right ? if i understand correctly how DNS works, TLD DNS servers delegate subdomains of the TLD to various DNS servers, that is abc.tld a subdomain of tld ... is that what you mean ?

pdns-admin is not the tool to do this, pdns-admin is simply a web interface to manage PowerDNS installation with seperate users and privieges and ownership of domains ...etc.

Maybe the issue is in the soa record of those domains you try to modify, how does the SOA record look like ? it should be multiple words (numbers) seperated by spaces.

Hello ...

I still have this on my mind ... now i belive domain templates should be written in XML files , i'm working on it too ... but im really really not a good php programmer, im trying to reuse the XML parser samson included for storing the web templates, a quick hint on how to get the "N"th element with those functions would be appreciated! example:

<domain>
<record></record>
<record></record>            <!-- i want this one -->
</domain>

something like GetNodeByPath("DOMAIN/RECORD[2]" not working

samson ... help !

I think this problem is still there in the latest trunk (rev 53)

I think the point you reached is great, but the issues with getting the DNS to respond is probably PDNS specific or specific to your case, PDNS-Admin probably has nothing to do with these issues ... make sure you first test with zones/domains with their NS pointing to your DNS IP, make sure your DNS responds from local host ... all i can do is wishing you good luck, try getting help getting PDNS itself working by checking PDNS docs and asking their community .

well, you need to install PowerDNS, and not *ANY* DNS server (so Bind is not what you want, PDNS can work with BIND files, but in our case you want it to work with mysql database).

So, install PowerDNS (abbreviated PDNS) on your ubuntu (apt-get install pdns pdns-backend-mysql mysql-server) . then configure your pdns mysql backend, my file looks like this:


Then i create the tables mentioned in the link in the previous post, and finally install PDNS-Admin, and configure it with the same database/db-user/db-user-pass i used in my pdns.local config file.

I hope this helps you out!

This issue apparently faces most if not all who try to install PDNS Admin before installing PDNS itself, the thing is that this table and other tables are created by PDNS installation (the actual DNS Server with Database Backend), the pdnsadmin interface tries to make updating those tables easier, those tables have the data the DNS needs, and since PDNS Admin is usally installed *AFTER* the PDNS is installed.

In short, if you installed PDNS following the instructions here -> http://doc.powerdns.com/generic-mypgsql-backends.html , you should have those tables , this problem was brought up at least once http://pdnsadmin.iguanadons.net/index.php?a=topic&t=32
