Yup, It 's been working for a while now, but I don't know how I made it work. I tried to install on another system, but again, I can log in on the webpage, but cannot delete the zones I've created.
It says it can't find the data.tmp file. I will try to log my doings, so I can tell you all how I did.

It's in the INSTALL file: After you've created the directory, you will need to modify the .htaccess file in the cgi-bin/dnsadmin directory. This is so Apache knows how to authenticate users trying to access the directory. You might need to change the permissions on the file. Some web servers want it only to be readable by the nobody user. Other systems (most that I've seen) want it readable by everyone, which is the default installation permission. Check the AuthUserFile path. The default is: AuthUserFile /usr/local/apache/conf/dnsadmin.passwd You may need to update this to point to your real apache conf directory. Now, create a user to log into dnsadmin. Example: htpasswd -bc /usr/local/apache/conf/dnsadmin.passwd admin somepassword I got slightly ahead of myself when setting dnsadmin up.
