Dear Froxlor Community, we are proud to announce the final release of version 0.9.37 which includes a complete DNS editor for domains and also supports PowerDNS in standalone mode as nameserver. DNS-Editor Admins and customers are now able to edit the DNS settings of domains. You can freely add and remove entries - froxlor will always ensure that the basic required entries are present. These are NS, MX and A/AAAA. They will always be generated if not overwritten by a custom entry. The access to the DNS-editor can be managed on a per-customer base by the admin. Only domains that have the nameserver-flag enabled and which are allowed to be edited by the customer can have DNS records. Please keep in mind that we limited the record-types to the following list: A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, NS, SRV, TXT We are aware that DNS is way more that that and that there is always a bunch of users who need other types - patches and pull-requests are always welcomed ;-) NOTE: If you are using <=PHP-5.3 you will need to patch the file lib/functions/dns/function.CreateDomainZone.php as follows as we missed using the 'long' array syntax there (will be fixed in the first maintenance release). See https://github.com/Froxlor/Froxlor/compare/51152ef0262f...11d358133e57 --- a/lib/functions/dns/function.createDomainZone.php +++ b/lib/functions/dns/function.createDomainZone.php @@ -55,8 +55,8 @@ function createDomainZone($domain_id, $froxlorhostname = false, $isMainButSubTo if ($domain['isemaildomain'] === '1') { addRequiredEntry('@', 'MX', $required_entries); if (Settings::Get('system.dns_createmailentry')) { - foreach(['imap', 'pop3', 'mail', 'smtp'] as $record) { - foreach(['AAAA', 'A'] as $type) { + foreach(array('imap', 'pop3', 'mail', 'smtp') as $record) { + foreach(array('AAAA', 'A') as $type) { addRequiredEntry($record, $type, $required_entries); } } PowerDNS As alternative to bind, you are now able to use PowerDNS (pdns) as nameserver. Attention: you will have to create the powerdns database yourself! When using froxlor's configuraton template for powerdns, froxlor will use powerdns' configuration file to read the database-user-credentials to be able to add/edit/remove zones and records. So double check that all path's are correct. Minor enhancements You can now also customize the global customer-docroot options when using apache webserver and mod_php. Please be aware that no syntax-checking is done (as known from 'specialsettings' or 'custom vhost-content'). The warn-emails about traffic and web-usage can now be enabled and disabled separately by setting the required percentage to 0. In addition to that, admins can now specify whether specific menu-items are hidden from the customer (regardless of resources assigned to the customer). These settings are global and valid for all customers.
