[Pdns-users] Install problem on Ubuntu 10.0.4

[Imre Gergely]

Hi

I just tried the same thing, and indeed, it doesn't start. Looking at
the logs (/var/log/syslog), I see this:

Jun 10 10:31:09 ximi pdns[13382]: Unable to launch, no backends
configured for querying
Jun 10 10:31:10 ximi pdns[13380]: Child requested a stop, exiting

which I guess is normal, because probably the backend isn't configured
automatically when installing the package, you still have to install a
database in mysql, and set the parameters in pdns for accessing that
database, etc.

Lake a look at

/usr/share/doc/pdns-backend-mysql/README.Debian

and

/usr/share/doc/pdns-backend-mysql/examples/pdns.local.gmysql

for how to do that.
