PDNS Edit is a Web UI for PowerDNS' MySQL backend. It is intended to make managing large-scale PDNS deployments - such as those operated by ISPs or web hosting providers - easier.
It uses CakePHP and Twitter's Bootstrap.
These instructions assume that you want to host the UI in a folder off your website's root directory. If that's not whaat you want then adapt as necessary.
The assumption is also made that you have the CakePHP framework installed at /opt/frameworks/cakephp. Again, you will have to adapt as needed but I can offer one or two tips that might help below.
-
Create a directory in your webroot directory called pdnsedit and clone the repo into it:
git clone https://github.com/dermotw/pdnsedit -
Create database.php:
cd app/Config cp database.php.default database.php -
Make whatever changes are necessary in database.php (i.e., edit the $default array that starts at line 62 so that it points at your PowerDNS MySQL database.

At the time of writing I haven't implemented a proper auth system so you'll need to make use of .htaccess and Apache's built-in basic authentication stuff. We also need to add some rewrite stuff to the .htaccess file to make the app work. Assuming your htpasswd file is /etc/apache2/pdnsedit.htpass, edit your .htaccess file so that it looks like this:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^$ app/webroot/ [L] RewriteRule (.*) app/webroot/$1 [L] </IfModule> AuthType Basic AuthName "PDNS Editor" AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/pdnsedit.htpass Require valid-user
5. Finally, browse to http://<yourserver>/pdnsedit. Hopefully you'll be prompted to log in and you'll see a list of domains etc.
