[Pdns-users] API issue

[Melvin Mughal]

Ok, I'm an idiot. Found the problem. I did apt-get the package to install
and assumed it was the latest and greatest. The dump/monitor doesn't show
version when it has an error. After I deleted all the API lines, the server
started. When I dumped the log it showed the version.. PowerDNS version
3.3.1...which has no API support. Eventually, Koko was right ;)

I tried the newest version 3.4.3 through instructions (
https://doc.powerdns.com/md/authoritative/installation/) via dpkg install.
But when I try to install the pdns-backend-mysql package it won't install,
saying it needs pdns 3.3.1. I tried to first install pdns 3.3.1 and get rid
off it via dpkg replacing it with pdns 3.4.3. But that doesn't work. Is
there a newer version I need to get?
