Welcome to Server Fault! Welcome and thank you for posting. Getting good answers requires a clear and useful question which is [well written](http://meta.serverfault.com/a/3609/37681) , [on-topic](http://serverfault.com/help/on-topic) and contains sufficient details to provide you with a good solution. Only a statement and missing actual error message is not enough. Post relevant errors from any pdns log files and/or relevant `journalctl -xe` messages. - Please improve your question to address those points or run the risk of leaving your problem unresolved and/or having your question closed.

Thank you for updating your question. When posting console output / settings, please format that text as "`code`" using [Markdown](https://serverfault.com/editing-help) and/or the formatting options in the edit menu to properly type-set your posts. That improves readability, attracts better answers and allows indexing by search engines, which may help people with similar questions. And that will allow people willing to answer your question to also easily copy-and-paste your commands/settings/error messages into their answer.

The error `Unable to load module '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pdns/libgmysqlbackend.so': /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pdns/libgmysqlback` suggests that you're trying to use a backend `gmysql` which is not (correctly) installed. Depending on how you installed PowerDNS you may need to (separately) install the correct backend support. - Also this directive `gmydwl-dbname=` looks like typo

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
