How to install? Poor documentation didnt help.

We have issues getting the authdb working: Exception: Unable to open database: unable to open database file in /var/www/html/nsedit/includes/misc.inc.php:65 Stack trace: #0 /var/www/html/nsedit/includes/misc.inc.php(65): SQLite3->__construct('../etc/pdns.use...', 6) #1 /var/www/html/nsedit/includes/session.inc.php(4): include_once('/var/www/html/n...') #2 /var/www/html/nsedit/index.php(4): include_once('/var/www/html/n...') #3 {main}

my pdns.conf

webserver=yes
api=yes
api-key=test

$apipass = 'test';           # The PowerDNS API-key
$apiip   = '127.0.0.1';           # The IP of the PowerDNS API
$apiport = '8081';       # The port of the PowerDNS API
$apiproto      = 'http'; # http | https
$apisslverify  = FALSE;  # Verify SSL Certificate if using https for apiproto
$allowzoneadd  = FALSE;  # Allow normal users to add zones
$logging = TRUE;
$allowclearlogs = TRUE;  # Allow clearing of log entries
$allowrotatelogs = FALSE;# Allow rotation to text file on server

Where is your "$authdb" in the config.inc.php.
With this option you can define where the authdb is stored.

I think it is related to php extension openssl compilation.
I firstly started nsedit without openssl support for php. it warned me than i installed and restart all services nginx php and then i t showed no warning, then i try to login and it showed error message.

all i have to do
rm -rf pdns.users.sqlite3 file then visit nsedit url then it started login without problem.

i think if there is no openssl support it does not create admin account in sqlite file but it creates empty database without account.
