[Maria-discuss] Re-configuring BIND DNS Servers for CentOS Web Panel Web Hosting Control Panel on Amazon AWS Cloud

      Subject: Re-configuring BIND DNS Servers for CentOS Web Panel Web Hosting Control Panel on Amazon AWS Cloud
Author: Mr. Turritopsis Dohrnii Teo En Ming, Singapore
Date: 27 Feb 2020 Thursday
Rationale for Re-configuration of BIND DNS Servers for CentOS Web Panel
=======================================================================
I have originally followed the approach for cPanel where there are 2 DNS-ONLY servers and one or more cPanel webservers. However, CentOS Web Panel
implements DNS Clusters differently. Hence I have to re-configure BIND DNS Servers for CentOS Web Panel web hosting control panel.

Guide: Slave DNS Server & Manager download version
Link: https://wiki.centos-webpanel.com/slave-dns-server-manager-download-version
Login to the CentOS Web Panel Admin Panel on the Slave.
...
From the left menu, click on CWP Settings, then select Edit Settings.
Admin Email: ceo@teo-en-ming-corp.com
Check Activate NAT-ed network configuration.
Click Save Changes.
Create a New Account on the Secondary/Slave DNS Server
======================================================
...
From the left menu, click User Accounts, then click New Account.
Domain name: teo-en-ming.com
Username: slave
Package: default
Click Create.
Download Slave DNS Manager and upload it to public_html folder on the Secondary/Slave DNS Server
================================================================================================
ssh -i cwp.pem centos@3.12.224.179
su -
cd /home/slave/public_html
wget http://dl1.centos-webpanel.com/files/cwp/addons/cwp-slave_dns.zip
unzip cwp-slave_dns.zip
mv slave_dns/* .
rm -f index.html
Fix file permissions on the Slave DNS Server
============================================
chown -R slave.slave /home/slave/public_html/*
MySQL: Create User and Database on the Slave DNS Server
=======================================================
...
From the left menu, click SQL Services, then click MySQL Manager.
Click Create Database and User.
New Database for user: slave
Database Name: slave
Click Create Database.
Edit file /home/slave/public_html/inc/db_conn.php.sample and enter your database connection details
# nano /home/slave/public_html/inc/db_conn.php.sample
# mv inc/db_conn.php.sample inc/db_conn.php
# mysql slave_slave < sql/slave_dns.sql
# nano /etc/sudoers.d/slave
slave  ALL= NOPASSWD: /bin/systemctl start named
slave  ALL= NOPASSWD: /bin/systemctl stop named
slave  ALL= NOPASSWD: /bin/systemctl restart named
slave  ALL= NOPASSWD: /bin/systemctl reload named
slave  ALL= NOPASSWD: /bin/systemctl status named
slave  ALL= NOPASSWD: /bin/systemctl is-active named
# touch /etc/named/slave.conf
# chmod 771 /etc/named
# usermod -a -G named slave
# chown slave.named /etc/named/slave.conf
# mkdir /var/named/slave
# chown named.named /var/named/slave
Edit File: /etc/named.conf and add this in options section before closing }
masterfile-format text;
Add after options{} where other include lines are specifed
//Slave dns configuration
include "/etc/named/slave.conf";
Now you can login to Slave DNS Manager GUI by using a domain link of the account you have created.
Go to http://3.12.224.179/~slave/index.php?login
Default login for Slave DNS Manager GUI admin/root
Username: root
Password: FX8QKxvQ
* Please change the default password after the first login
Adding WebServers to Slave DNS Manager
======================================
- On Slave DNS manager GUI create a new user for each server or use a single for all webservers if you plan to transfer accounts from one to another webserver.
Click Add New User.
Username:
Password:
Email:
API Key:
API Secret:
Domain Limit: 1000000
Click Save.
- On Master CentOS Web Panel WebServer go to DNS Functions -> Slave DNS Manager
Buy CWPPro license first. It is only USD$1.49 compared to USD$20 for the license of cPanel. I can't afford to buy the license for cPanel, hence
I have to settle for CentOS Web Panel.
Then ssh into your Master CentOS Web Panel Webserver.
# sh /scripts/update_cwp
You have successfully upgraded to CWPpro.
On the Master CentOS Web Panel, Go to DNS Functions -> Slave DNS Manager
API Key:
Secret Key:
Base URL: http://3.12.224.179/~slave
Master Server IP's: 3.21.30.127
Click Submit.

===============================================
Edit File: /etc/named.conf and add this in options section before closing }
//Slave dns configuration
allow-transfer {3.12.224.179;};
allow-recursion {3.12.224.179;};
also-notify {3.12.224.179;};
masterfile-format text;
# named-checkconf
# systemctl restart named
