How to Install MyDNS in CentOS

MyDNS is a Linux-based DNS server software that runs off of a mySQL database in CentOS instead of running off of configuration files. Normal DNS software services have to be restarted whenever changes are made. But MyDNS does not since it dynamically reads information from the database whenever queries come in.

Instructions

1. Log in to the CentOS system as the root user.

2. Type "cd /tmp" and press "Enter."

3. Type "http://www.mydnsconfig.org/downloads/MyDNSConfig-3-stable.tar.gz" and press "Enter" to download the MyDNS software package to the temporary folder on your computer.

4. Type "tar xvfz MyDNSConfig-3-stable.tar.gz" and press "Enter" to decompress the MyDNS software package onto your CentOS system.

5. Type "cd mydnsconfig/install/" and press "Enter."

6. Type "php -q install.php" to install MyDNS on your CentOS server.
