Install PowerAdmin

Execute following commands in the VPS SH console:
cd /root
wget https://github.com/downloads/poweradmin/poweradmin/poweradmin-2.1.6.tgz
tar xvfz poweradmin-2.1.6.tgz
cd poweradmin-2.1.6/inc
mv config-me.inc.php config.inc.php
Edit config.inc.php and make sure to change password you've specified in step "Create a Database and Username":

nano config.inc.php

Modify "db_pass" and "session_key" to your own values:
$db_host = 'localhost';
$db_port = '3306';
$db_user = 'powerdns';
$db_pass = 'password';
$db_name = 'powerdns';
$db_type = 'mysql';
$session_key = 'session_key';
Move PowerAdmin folder to Apache's DocumentRoot:
mv /root/poweradmin-2.1.6/* /var/www/html/
service httpd restart
Edit /etc/pdns/pdns.conf and add the following lines, make sure to modify "gmysql-password" to MySQL password you've selected in step "Create a Database and Username":
launch=gmysql
gmysql-host=localhost
gmysql-user=powerdns
gmysql-password=password
gmysql-dbname=powerdns
Restart Power DNS daemon:

service pdns restart

Create PowerAdmin account

Proceed to installing PowerAdmin from webserver:

• Navigate over to your VPS /install folder (in our case http://185.5.5.00/install/ );
• Create a Poweradmin admin account (as NS2, please use our slave DNS server ns.iv.lt);

Finish the installation process, and after you get to Step 7, remove /var/www/html/install folder:

rm -rf /var/www/html/install

Now you can navigate to your VPS (http://185.5.5.00/ in our case), and login as admin with password you've specified in step "Create PowerAdmin Account".
