problems installing ruby-pdns

[Bursuc Sergiu]

Hi,

I followed the wiki to set this up but I am having problems executing it.

I am running debian and installed ruby and all the necessary gems and packages. I used the ruby-pdns gem to install it.

When I execute:
/var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/ruby-pdns-0.5.1/sbin/pdns-aggregate-stats.rb
I get the following error:
/var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/ruby-pdns-0.5.1/sbin/pdns-aggregate-stats.rb:4:in `require': no such file to load -- pdns (LoadError)
        from /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/ruby-pdns-0.5.1/sbin/pdns-aggregate-stats.rb:4

All the files are installed in /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/ruby-pdns-0.5.1/

How do I get past this?

Please help
Thanks

error suggests it's not loaded rubygems or the path is wrong, generally
rubygems installs a wrapper in bin that does that.

same problem if you did

ruby -r rubygems /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/ruby-pdns-0.5.1/sbin/pdns-aggregate-stats.rb

?

Sorry but this does not answer my question.

How do I make it run?

Thanks

I gave you a command to run, if you don't want to do what you're asked and show what happens there really isn't anything I can do to help you.

[George]

Oh, sorry, I got confused

Here's the result of running that command:

root@debian:~# ruby -r rubygems /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/ruby-pdns-0.5.1/sbin/pdns-aggregate-stats.rb
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `gem_original_require': no such file to load -- net/geoip (LoadError)
        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `require'
        from /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/ruby-pdns-0.5.1/lib/pdns.rb:2
        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `gem_original_require'
        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `require'
        from /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/ruby-pdns-0.5.1/sbin/pdns-aggregate-stats.rb:4

The geoip gem is installed already

Please advise
Thanks

seems not, in what path is it installed?

[George]

It's here:
/var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/geoip-1.2.1

The error says "no such file to load -- net/geoip"

Does this one have net/geoip? I dont think so, you probably need the net-geoip gem.

Read the errors, they tend to answer your questions

Ok, installing that helped.

Now I have trouble with pdns.conf:
Feb 17 19:49:02 debian pdns[16870]: Caught an exception instantiating a backend: Command '/usr/bin/ruby -r rubygems /usr/sbin/pdns-pipe-runner.rb' cannot be executed: No such file or directory

I used this in pdns.conf:
pipe-command="/usr/bin/ruby -r rubygems /usr/sbin/pdns-pipe-runner.rb"

Using it without "ruby -r rubygems" just throws the unknown pdns module

Please advise
Thanks

Ok, I created a wrapper:

/usr/bin/ruby.wrapper with the contents:
#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/ruby -r rubygems "$@"

changed first line of the ruby-pdns scripts to run the wrapper instead of the ruby binary. Powerdns starts properly:

But the problem is that the test.test.com.rb record I added in the records directory is ignored:

module Pdns
  newrecord("test.test.com") do |query, answer|
    case country(query[:remoteip])
      when "US", "CA"
        answer.content "64.1.1.245"

      when "ZA", "ZW"
        answer.content "196.1.1.10"

      else
        answer.content "78.1.1.140"
      end
  end
end

Since my configs are in /usr/local/etc/ I edited all ruby-pdns related files and changed to match that location and any other locations necessary.

So now it starts but does not read any records. I checked and permissions are correct.

Please advise
Thanks

Ok, finally figured it out. The extension of the geo records should have been .prb

It finally works, thanks a lot for your help
