[Pdns-users] Unable to connect to SQLite database does not exist yet

[Lists]

Hi,

I am new to PDNS and trying to use the SQLite backend as per the 
instructions on http://doc.powerdns.com/html/gsqlite.html.

I am running SQLite version 3.6.20 with PowerDNS Authoritative Server 
3.3.1 on CentOS release 6.5

I have installed SQLite, created the database and can list the tables 
which I created as per the instructions above.

I have added the following to pdns.conf:

launch=gsqlite3
gsqlite3-database=/root/pdns.db

I have also tried changing permissions and ownership of my pdns database 
file, thinking it was a permissions issue but I still get the following 
errors in /var/log/messages.

gsqlite3: connection failed: SQLite database '/root/pdns.db' does not 
exist yet
Caught an exception instantiating a backend: Unable to launch gsqlite3 
connection: SQLite database '/root/pdns.db' does not exist yet

And when I try to use poweradmin to configure pdns with the SQLite 
backend, on Installation step 4, I get.

Updating database... Unable to connect to the database server. Please 
report the problem to an Administrator.


Does anyone know what is causing this problem and how to fix it?

Thanks,
