    in /etc/pdns/pdns.conf I see this: ################################# # include-dir Include *.conf files from this directory # # include-dir=
    does that help you out?

    Can you let me know specifically when you're seeing the configuration change? We have several other guides that recommend editing that file directly, such as this one:

    Are you seeing that only certain options are working while others are not?

    That's very odd - could you submit a ticket to our team so we can do some more testing with this on our end?

    After some research, it looks like PowerDNS has removed both of the options you were trying to implement, api-logfile and api-readonly, in recent updates:

    Hello, Yeah it looks like that looking at this issue it makes me feel like going back to bind as the only thing i'll lose is the DNSSEC support but whole lot easier to get those statistics . edit You can change the code in the instructions at How to generate daily PowerDNS statistics reports " trick77.com to #!/bin/sh /usr/bin/curl -s --user powerdns:serverpasswordhere http://127.0.0.1:8081 | mail -s "$(echo "PowerDNS Daily Report\nMIME-Version: 1.0\nContent-Type: text/html")" root
    The serverpassword is in /etc/pdns/pdns.conf though in more recent version of powerdns it is hashed
