MyDNS is a DNS server for UNIX that serves records directly from an SQL database and can be used in H-Sphere as an alternative to bind. Currently H-Sphere supports MyDNS to work with MySQL DB only. To configure H-Sphere to work with MyDNS, follow the instrcutions below:

  1. Download the latest version of MyDNS from http://mydns.bboy.net.
  2. Install and configure MyDNS version that is served by MySQL DB on a new or any of your existing H-Sphere servers following the instructions that come with the installation package.
    Warning: do not rename the 'mydns' MySQL DB created during the installtaion.
  3. Configure H-Sphere to work with MyDNS.

    MYDNS_USER = login
    MYDNS_PASS = password
    MYDNS_DB_HOST = IP
    where:
    login is the name of MyDNS user to access MySQL DB you've created during the installation procedure;
    password is the password you've entered during the installation procedure for MyDNS user login;
    IP is the IP address of the server with MySQL DB created during the installation procedure.
    3.2. In admin control panel check if MyDNS name server is listed as a server group. If it's not, connect to hsphere database and execute:
