[SOLVED] - can't create /var/run/dhcpd.pid .... in syslog
« on: September 24, 2010, 01:20:52 pm »
Anyone else getting this error?
can't create /var/run/dhcpd.pid
in /var/log/syslog?

I solved it by following post #6 in this thread..
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1092664

I dunno if its a ebox or ubuntu problem writing the pid to /var/run/dhcpd.pid instead of /var/run/dhcp3-server/dhcpd.pid

Just a heads up.

Hi effgee,

The default PID file for dhcpd3 is /var/run/dhcpd.pid but the apparmor profile for usr.sbin.dhcpd3 is /var/run/dhcp3-server/dhcpd.pid, so the problem comes from there.

This is already fixed and it will be released soon.

Thanks for reporting it ;).

Best regards,
My secret is my silence...

I've actually uninstalled  apparmor due to issues such as that.
It has nothing to do with apparmor, but actually the scripts that zentyal is using to start services.

I know, I know, its fixed already. Just clarifying.

Also, please check:

For information on fixing issues with PPTPD connectivity.

Also, is this the desired firewall implementation?
