Instructions on setting up MySQL as a backend for PowerDNS
----------------------------------------------------------
You should create a database yourself and install the schema into
it. On upgrades you should also upgrade the schema.
You can find the upstream recommended schema here:
/usr/share/pdns-backend-mysql/schema
Just create a database (for example, named pdns) and then feed these
SQL commands to MySQL to get the default schema:
mysql -u root -p <database> < \
/usr/share/pdns-backend-mysql/schema/schema.mysql.sql
Then add your data to the database. An example configuration for
PowerDNS is provided in /usr/share/doc/pdns-backend-mysql/examples/.
It is probably a good idea to protect your configuration file, as
it will contain your database password:
chmod 0640 /etc/powerdns/pdns.d/gmysql.conf
chgrp pdns /etc/powerdns/pdns.d/gmysql.conf
Note: in previous versions, the Debian packages used
dbconfig-common, and you can continue to use dbconfig
created databases, but you will have to upgrade the schema
manually.
