DNS Management: No cPanel/turbopanel. How should I approach this?
Hi guys,
Background, you can skip this paragraph and go to the next one if you want to get to the question:
My host came with Turbopanel. I'm running some tomcat applications on the server which required me to install mod_jk. Now there's a dependency issue with mod_jk and I cannot update my server. So I tried some quick fixes (this was my downfall) and updated turbopanel alone (don't ask me why I thought that would fix the issue). Now my turbopanel is broke, when I point the browser to it, it outputs some octet stream. Hosting provider says i'm not on a "assisted admin" plan so they can't help. I don't have money to pay for this so I'm planning on learning how to do things manually. Should teach me a few good things.
The question:
How should I approach this? I know this can be a repetitive task which can lead to errors. I know of Bind as a DNS management system. Should I learn how to use Bind? I don't want to get bogged down on minute details. Maybe there's a robust higher level open source program I can use? EDIT: I'm also on a Virtual Dedicated Server, I'm guessing this will make things complicated with virtual hosting.
What do you suggest?
Thanks
