Before we begin, ensure that you meet the following requirements:

• MXLinux Latest installed on your system
• A user account with sudo privileges
• A web server (Apache or Nginx) installed and running on your system
• PHP version 5.3 or higher installed on your system
• MySQL installed on your system

Step 1: Download Poweradmin

First, download the latest version of Poweradmin from their official website https://www.poweradmin.org/download/. You can use the following command to download the tarball:

wget https://sourceforge.net/projects/poweradmin/files/poweradmin-2.1.9.tgz/download -O poweradmin.tar.gz

Step 2: Install Required Packages

Next, install the required packages by running the following command:

sudo apt-get install php-mysql php-gd php-xml

This command will install the necessary PHP packages required by Poweradmin.

Step 3: Extract Poweradmin Package

Once the necessary packages are installed, extract the downloaded Poweradmin tarball to the /var/www/ directory using the following command:

sudo tar -xvzf poweradmin.tar.gz -C /var/www/

Step 4: Configure Apache

After the package has been extracted, you will need to set up an Apache virtual host configuration for Poweradmin. Open the Apache configuration file using the following command:

sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/poweradmin.conf

Add the following virtual host configuration to the file:

<VirtualHost *:80>

ServerName poweradmin.example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/poweradmin

<Directory /var/www/poweradmin/>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>

ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/poweradmin_error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/poweradmin_access.log combined

</VirtualHost>

Save and close the file.

Step 5: Enable Virtual Host

Next, enable the virtual host using the following command:

sudo a2ensite poweradmin.conf

This will enable the Poweradmin virtual host.

Step 6: Restart Apache

Finally, restart Apache to apply the changes using the following command:

sudo systemctl restart apache2

Step 7: Access Poweradmin

Poweradmin is now installed and ready to use. You can access it by entering http://poweradmin.example.com/ in your web browser. You will be prompted to enter the MySQL database name, username, and password during the initial setup.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Poweradmin on MXLinux Latest. You can now start managing your DNS servers using Poweradmin.
