Poweradmin is a web-based DNS administration tool that allows you to manage your DNS servers through a simple and user-friendly interface. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install Poweradmin on Fedora Server Latest.
Before proceeding with the installation, ensure you have the following requirements:
If you haven't installed a web server and PHP yet, you can follow the below commands to install and start them:
sudo dnf install httpd php php-pdo php-pdo_sqlite php-gd php-mbstring -y
sudo systemctl start httpd
sudo systemctl enable httpd
First, you need to download the Poweradmin package from the official website with the following command:
cd /tmp
wget https://github.com/poweradmin/poweradmin/archive/v2.1.7.tar.gz
Once downloaded, extract the package using tar command:
tar -xzf v2.1.7.tar.gz
Next, move the extracted Poweradmin files to the web server's document root directory (/var/www/html) using the following command:
sudo mv poweradmin-2.1.7/ /var/www/html/poweradmin
Now, change the ownership and permissions of the Poweradmin directory with the following command:
sudo chown apache:apache /var/www/html/poweradmin/ -R
sudo chmod 755 /var/www/html/poweradmin/ -R
Poweradmin requires a database to store its data. To create a new database, log in to MySQL using root or the privileged user and execute the following command:
mysql -u root -p
Enter your MySQL root password, then create a new database and dedicated user with the following commands:
CREATE DATABASE poweradmin;
CREATE USER 'poweradmin'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON poweradmin.* TO 'poweradmin'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION;
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;
Remember to replace 'password' with your desired password for the Poweradmin user.
Now, open your browser and navigate to http://your-server-ip/poweradmin/setup/ to begin the Poweradmin configuration process.
Accept the license agreement, and on the "Dependencies" page, ensure all dependencies are checked and click the "Next" button.
On the "Database Configuration" page, fill in the details for the database you created in step 4, then click the "Next" button.
On the "Web Server Configuration" page, test your web server's compatibility with Poweradmin and configure the timezone, then click the "Next" button.
On the "Administrator Account" page, choose a username and a strong password for the admin account, then click the "Next" button.
Finally, on the "Setup Complete" page, click the "Enter Admin Interface" button to log in to Poweradmin using the admin account you just created and start managing your DNS servers.
In this tutorial, we have demonstrated how to install Poweradmin on Fedora Server Latest. You now have a powerful and user-friendly DNS administration tool at your disposal. Enjoy!
