Can't enable DHCP
« on: June 01, 2010, 09:16:29 pm »
Hi guys,

Well, i've changed my ethernet adapter, so it reconised the new one as "eth0_rename"
And so i can't start my DHCP server. Everything else is working well.

I've already tried to remove --purge ebox-dhcp, and install again, but no luck.
Does anyone know how can i fix it?

Can you ssh in?
If so let's have a look at your /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf

Also, if you can open two terminals do a:

tail -f /var/log/syslog

in one terminal then in the other do a:

/etc/init.d/dhcp3-server start

watch what happens in the 'tail' one, see if you see any errors. Post the errors back here.

I found the problem. When i start the module, it cleans my /etc/default/dhcp3-server config.
I've removed the module and installed dhcp3-server mannualy and configured it.. it's working now, i think... At least until the next restart.
