Make sure you fill in the correct database details! If you want MyDNSConfig to automatically create reverse DNS records (PTR records) when you create a new DNS records, then set $conf[‘auto_create_ptr’] to 1 and specify a default name server in $conf[‘default_ns’] (do not forget the dot at the end!) and an admin email address in $conf[‘default_mbox’] (also with a dot at the end, and the @ sign must be replaced by a dot!).
Removing the installer from /tmp

rm -rf MyDNSConfig-1.1.0/
rm -f MyDNSConfig-1.1.0.tar.gz

Now install mydns and edit the file/etc/mydns.conf to use the same database that we created above for MyDNSConfig. The daatabase contains all tables needed for MyDNS.

Now you can access MyDNSConfig under http://<your_ip_address>/mydnsconfig/. The default login username is admin, the password is also admin. Please change the password after your first login under System -> Edit user.
