Installation

PowerDNS::API installation

Requirements

• MySQL
• Perl 5.8.4 or newer
• Various modules from CPAN

Setup the database

Install and start the MySQL server somewhere.

The login credentials can be configured in environments/development.yml. The default development setup is just to use the root user and pdns database.

Load the schema into your database with mysql -uroot pdns < docs/full-schema.sql.

If you are upgrading an existing PowerDNS database, use the docs/schema.sql file instead.

Install Perl modules

install cpanm and local::lib as root or with sudo:

curl -sL http://xrl.us/cpanm | perl - --sudo App::cpanminus
cpanm --sudo local::lib

Then with your regular account setup local::lib:

perl -Mlocal::lib >> ~/.bash_profile

Logout and login again and then you can run the following to install the various dependencies; they will be installed into ~/perl5/ in your home directory.
