dhcp failed to start
« on: February 22, 2014, 09:08:39 am »
good day guys,

the dhcp service of our zentyal 3.0 server was suddenly stop, then if i try to click the start button of DHCP on the dashboard. Error says "Error restarting service DHCP. See /var/log/zentyal/zentyal.log for more information.".

i tried:
restarting the dhcp service through CLI but no avail.

may i know what this error means for:

2014/02/22 15:58:03 ERROR> Sudo.pm:234 EBox::Sudo::_rootError - root command /sbin/start 'isc-dhcp-server' failed.
Error output: start: Job failed to start

Command output: .
Exit value: 1
2014/02/22 15:58:03 ERROR> Service.pm:826 EBox::Module::Service::__ANON__ - Error restarting service: root command /sbin/start 'isc-dhcp-server' failed.

The Zentyal log is only telling us that it couldn't start your DHCP server. Not exactly helpful. You'll have to check your /var/log/syslog for more details as to why DHCP didn't start.

Can you increase loglevel so a more verbose log is created?

Thanks for your reply sirs,

i managed to trace the problem, (object member name conflict)
in my case the dhcp won't start because I added new member to one object which is the same name with the member of the other object.

@robb: how do i increase the loglevel?

thnx
