ISPConfig3 Ubuntu get mydns installed

[diablorick]

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.

May I add this part to the ISPConfig 3 documentation?

[diablorick]

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/I...5-alpha.tar.gz

and it should be:

wget http://www.ispconfig.org/downloads/I....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.

Which server is unreachable and what do you try to download?

[frosch95]

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.

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:

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 <phil@philkern.de>.
#               Based upon skeleton 1.9.4 by Miquel van Smoorenburg
#               <miquels@cistron.nl> and Ian Murdock <imurdock@gnu.ai.mit.edu>.
#

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.
