Overview
  • The information provided here describes the
    process involved in installing cPanel DNSOnly on
    a server. It needs to be specified here that
    cPanel DNSOnly is not supported by the version 98
    of cPanel WHM for Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. This
    version is an experimental software. Hence, it
    isnt recommended for use in production
    environments.
  • The cPanel DNSOnly software enables a user to run
    a dedicated physical nameserver. This can be used
    along with other servers for the creation of a
    DNS cluster. cPanel DNSOnly is cPanel WHMs
    simplest version. It merely replicates DNS zones
    to a users other servers. You need to follow the
    required instructions in order to install cPanel
    DNSOnly.

cPanel
  • cPanel refers to an online Linux-based control
    panel for simplifying website and server
    management. It enables any user to manage
    domains, publish websites, create email accounts,
    organize web files, etc. cPanel has two
    interfaces. The user interface is known as cPanel
    and the server management interface is known as
    WHM (Web Host Manager).
  • Most of the web hosting companies provide cPanel
    in their hosting plans. Web hosting is the
    service that renders websites accessible over the
    Internet. It is provided by web hosting
    companies. The Best Website Hosting, the Best
    Windows Hosting, the Best Cloud Hosting are
    some of the terms that are used frequently to
    refer to the most popular hosting services.

Configuration Requirements
  • Your system needs to be equipped with the
    below-mentioned requirements in order to
    successfully install and use cPanel DNSOnly.
  • Your server has to meet the system requirements
    for its specific OS (Operating System).
  • There should not be any previous content on your
    server.
  • Traffic on ports 53, 953, and 2087 needs to be
    allowed by your server.
  • Traffic must be allowed on port 25 if you want
    email notifications to be sent by the server.
  • Your DNS cluster configuration, needs to meet the
    requirements for DNS clusters.
  • If your DNS cluster is meant to include those
    domains that use DNSSEC, then all the servers of
    the cluster have to run PowerDNS.

Access cPanel DNSOnly
  • You have to carry out the below-mentioned steps
    in order to access the cPanel DNSOnly interface.
  • Navigate to https//IP2087 in the browser of
    your preference.
  • In it, IP represents the IP address of your
    server. If you have a domain name which resolves
    to the server, then you can use it rather than
    the IP address.
  • Enter root in the text box, Username.
  • Enter your password in the text box, Password.
  • Click Log in

9
Remove the Trial License Banner
  • Here it needs to be mentioned that you must have
    a cPanel DNSOnly license. This is obtained
    automatically by the server during installation.
    If that isnt the case, then you should contact
    cPanel Customer Service.
  • You will get a Trial License banner in your WHM
    Home interface, if a trial license is being used
    by your server. If you want to remove this banner
    then you need to remove the trial license from
    the server.

10
Trial Licenses Removal from the Server
  • In order to remove the trial license from the
    server, you need to carry out the following
    steps
  • Contact cPanel Customer Service.
  • Request them to deactivate your trial license.
  • Create a directory for containing the cPanel
    license files.
  • Move the following two files to the directory
    that you have created
  • cpanel.lisc file
  • /root/.cpanel/datastore/_usr_local_cpanel_cpanel_-
    F file
  • For this purpose, you need to run the following
    commands
  • mv /usr/local/cpanel/cpanel.lisc
    /root/trashfiles/
  • mv /root/.cpanel/datastore/_usr_local_cpanel_cpane
    l_-F /root/trashfiles/
  • The term trashfiles in the above-mentioned
    commands represents that particular directory
    which contains the license files.
  • Restart cPanel DNSOnly. You need to run the
    following command for this purpose
  • /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/restartsrv_cpsrvd

11
cPanel DNSOnly and DNSSEC
  • DNSSEC (DNS Security Extensions) in DNS clusters
    are supported by cPanel WHM. A DNS resolver
    compares the DNSSEC record of the DNS server with
    the registrars DS record. If these match, then
    the record is considered valid.
  • The DNSSEC keys of a domain can be created,
    deleted, or managed in the Zone Editor interface
    in cPanel. cPanel gtgt Home gtgt Domains gtgt Zone
    Editor
  • The following script is used by the system for
    synchronizing and revoking those DNSSEC keys in a
    DNS cluster that are currently active
  • /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/dnssec-cluster-k
    eys
  • For performing this step manually, you need to
    run that script as the root user.
