In case any one else is having the same major issue with Ubuntu and mydns that I was having, I have updated the original installation intsructions for ISPConfig3 Beta for Ubuntu and put them on my webpage. The problem, as some of you know, is that Ubuntu removed the apt-get for mydns and now it's a nightmare to install. I did the whole thing on a test server and documented it under the "Install MyDNS" section and it is working perfectly. http://www.enoughshit.org/mydns-ubuntu-install.html
yes, what's mine is yours, I don't beleive in keeping info from the public. Although, I did forget to make 1 change, the wget address shows: wget http://www.ispconfig.org/downloads/ISPConfig_3.0.0.5-alpha.tar.gz and it should be: wget http://www.ispconfig.org/downloads/ISPConfig-3.0.0.5-beta.tar.gz
That's strange.. When did they remove it from the repositories? Installed ispconfig 3 on ubuntu 7.10 witouth any issue this weekend... Or did I just add the correct repositories by accident? To be honest... I dislike compiling/installing from tar.gz #cat /etc/debian_version lenny/sid # apt-cache search mydns libnet-dns-fingerprint-perl - library to determine DNS server vendor, product and version mydns-mysql - DNS server using MySQL for data storage mydns-pgsql - DNS server using PostgreSQL for data storage
I believe it was removed in version 8 and up. I have version 8.04 and it is gone due to the fact that it was unsuported for a while when the guy who wrote it originally bailed on it. Now some new guys are running it so it may be back in the future.
The instructions (server) aren´t reachable for me (loading "hours" until timeout) and the current beta installation document does not include this. Is it available anywhere else? Thx for your help. Andi
The instructions: http://www.enoughshit.org/mydns-ubuntu-install.html aren´t reachable (even http://www.enoughshit.org doesn´t work for me). I use the ISPConfig-3.0.0.5-beta and there is only a INSTALL_UBUNTU.txt file for ubuntu in it, without the instructions how to compile MyDNS on my own. The target destination will be ubuntu 8.04 thats why I am trying to run the beta on this ubuntu version. Thx for your help. Andi
I recommend to use Debian instead of Ubuntu 8.04. Installation instructions from other tutorials will most likey not work for ISPConfig. But if you really want to use ubuntu, here are the installation instructions which are in the ISPConfig SVN tree and they describe the compilation of mydns: Code: Installation ----------- It is recommended to use a clean (fresh) Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) install where you selected no additional packages or servers during setup. Then follow the steps below to setup your server with ISPConfig 3: Now become root user by executing: sudo su and entering the password of the user that you created during setup. Edit the file /etc/apt/sources.list and comment out the line beginning with "deb cdrom:....", then run: apt-get update apt-get -u upgrade 1) Install Postfix, Courier, Saslauthd, MySQL, phpMyAdmin with the following command line (on one line!): apt-get install postfix postfix-mysql postfix-doc mysql-client mysql-server courier-authdaemon courier-authlib-mysql courier-pop courier-pop-ssl courier-imap courier-imap-ssl postfix-tls libsasl2-2 libsasl2-modules libsasl2-modules-sql sasl2-bin libpam-mysql openssl courier-maildrop getmail4 Answer the questions from the package manager as follows. Create directories for web-based administration ? <-- No General type of configuration? <-- Internet site Mail name? <-- server1.mydomain.tld SSL certificate required <-- Ok ...use your own domain name of course ;) 2) Install Amavisd-new, Spamassassin and Clamav (1 line!): apt-get install amavisd-new spamassassin clamav clamav-daemon zoo unzip bzip2 arj nomarch lzop cabextract apt-listchanges libnet-ldap-perl libauthen-sasl-perl clamav-docs daemon libio-string-perl libio-socket-ssl-perl libnet-ident-perl zip libnet-dns-perl 3) Install apache, PHP5 and phpmyadmin (1 line!): apt-get install apache2 apache2.2-common apache2-doc apache2-mpm-prefork apache2-utils libexpat1 ssl-cert libapache2-mod-php5 php5 php5-common php5-gd php5-mysql php5-imap phpmyadmin php5-cli Then run the following to enable the Apache modules: a2enmod suexec a2enmod rewrite a2enmod ssl 4) Install pure-ftpd and quota First we have to make sure that the capability module is loaded in the kernel modprobe capability echo 'capability' >> /etc/modules Then we install pureftpd and quota. apt-get install pure-ftpd-common pure-ftpd-mysql quota quotatool echo 'yes' > /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/DontResolve 5) Install mydns apt-get install g++ libc6 gcc gawk make texinfo libmysqlclient15-dev cd /tmp wget http://mydns.bboy.net/download/mydns-1.1.0.tar.gz tar xvfz mydns-1.1.0.tar.gz cd mydns-1.1.0 ./configure make make install Now create the start / stop script for mydns: vi /etc/init.d/mydns and enter the following lines (between the ----- lines): ------------------------------------------------------ #! /bin/sh # # mydns Start the MyDNS server # # Author: Philipp Kern <[email protected]>. # Based upon skeleton 1.9.4 by Miquel van Smoorenburg # <[email protected]> and Ian Murdock <[email protected]>. # set -e PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin DAEMON=/usr/sbin/mydns NAME=mydns DESC="DNS server" SCRIPTNAME=/etc/init.d/$NAME # Gracefully exit if the package has been removed. test -x $DAEMON || exit 0 case "$1" in start) echo -n "Starting $DESC: $NAME" start-stop-daemon --start --quiet \ --exec $DAEMON -- -b echo "." ;; stop) echo -n "Stopping $DESC: $NAME" start-stop-daemon --stop --oknodo --quiet \ --exec $DAEMON echo "." ;; reload|force-reload) echo -n "Reloading $DESC configuration..." start-stop-daemon --stop --signal HUP --quiet \ --exec $DAEMON echo "done." ;; restart) echo -n "Restarting $DESC: $NAME" start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --oknodo \ --exec $DAEMON sleep 1 start-stop-daemon --start --quiet \ --exec $DAEMON -- -b echo "." ;; *) echo "Usage: $SCRIPTNAME {start|stop|restart|reload|force-reload}" >&2 exit 1 ;; esac exit 0 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- now execute: chmod +x /etc/init.d/mydns update-rc.d mydns defaults 6) Install vlogger and webalizer apt-get install vlogger webalizer 7) Install ISPConfig 3 There are two possile scenarios, but not both: 1) Install the latest alpha 2) Install directly from SVN apt-get install php5-cli 1) Installation of beta 3 cd /tmp wget http://www.ispconfig.org/downloads/ISPConfig_3.0.0.5-beta.tar.gz tar xvfz ISPConfig_3.0.0.5-alpha.tar.gz cd ispconfig3_install/install/ 2) Installation from SVN apt-get install subversion cd /tmp svn export svn://svn.ispconfig.org/ispconfig3/trunk/ cd trunk/install 1+2) Now proceed with the ISPConfig installation. Now start the installation process by executing: php -q install.php The installer will configure all services like postfix, sasl, courier, etc. for you. A manual setup as required for ISPConfig 2 (perfect setup guides) is not nescessary. To login to the ISPConfig controlpanel, open the following URL in your browser (replace the IP to match your settings!): http://192.168.0.100:8080/ the default login is: user: admin password: admin In case you get a permission denied error from apache, please restart the apache webserver process.
