I was following the link powerdns-on-rails and had trouble configuring. An improved steps to install on a clean ubuntu x64 server is documented here. Might be of help for someone.
Setps:
== install required packages ==
apt-get install git make build-essential g++ ruby1.9.1-full mysql mysql-server libmysqlclient-dev libxslt-dev libxml2-dev libreadline-ruby1.9 libruby1.9 libopenssl-ruby libpq-dev sqlite-devel libsqlite3-dev
== now we are ready for the powerdns-on-rails installation ==
git clone git://github.com/kennethkalmer/powerdns-on-rails.git
cd powerdns-on-rails/
cp config/database.yml.template config/database.yml
== update the database.yml to reflect mysql settings, specially the password ==
vi config/database.yml
== you need to make sure you have created the database powerdns_developement before contineuwing further ==
gem install bundler
bundle install
rake db:migrate
rake db:seed
rake generate_secret_token

If you want to run rails on port 80, please pass ‘-p80’ as command line argument while starting the server.
