NamecoinToBind 3.0.5

This version has a first support of the new spec (old spec is still supported for a while) :

• https://dot-bit.org/Domain_names

Dependencies :

• idn (php5-idn crash with some domain names, so the idn binary is used)
• php5-cli
• php5-json ( php5-json was previously provided by php5-common no longer the case for Ubuntu Saucy )
• a running namecoin

Install :

apt-get install idn php5-cli

• Bind configuration : Copy the file etc/bind/named.conf.bit to /etc/bind/ Edit the file /etc/bind/named.conf.options and add :

• at the bottom of the file : // .bit zone include "/etc/bind/named.conf.bit";

• Create the following folder :

• /etc/bind/dotbit/ chown www-data -R /etc/bind/dotbit/

• NamecoinToBind configuration : (replace with the folder you extracted NamecoinToBind files) Copy the file /etc/cron.d/namecoinToBind to /etc/cron.d/ Edit the file /etc/cron.d/namecoinToBind and replace the NamecoinToBind path with yours Copy the file /config.php.dist to /config.php Edit the file /config.php to change :

• the namecoin user/pass/ip

• the hostname and ip of your server (hostname can be "ns.your-domain.bit" if you want)

Launch : ./reload_bind.sh & Add it at startup (in /etc/rc.local before line 'exit 0' on debian) :
