Reply with quote

I run the following:

Code:

router /etc/dhcp # /etc/init.d/dhcpd restart
* Starting dhcpd ...
* start-stop-daemon: failed to start `/usr/sbin/dhcpd' [ !! ]
* ERROR: dhcpd failed to start

I have no logs for dhcpd in /var/log

....what can I do?

Tried:

Code:

router ~ # /etc/init.d/dhcpd restart --verbose
* Caching service dependencies ... [ ok ]
* Executing: /lib64/rc/sh/openrc-run.sh /lib64/rc/sh/openrc-run.sh /etc/init.d/dhcpd start
* Starting dhcpd ...
* start-stop-daemon: fopen `//var/run/dhcp/dhcpd.pid': No such file or directory
* Detaching to start `/usr/sbin/dhcpd' ...
* start-stop-daemon: failed to start `/usr/sbin/dhcpd' [ !! ]
* ERROR: dhcpd failed to start

Also tried removing a "/" in /etc/init.d/dhcpd for the pid line.

Hi, check "/var/log/syslog" for messages. And check, wether you have a dhcpd.conf in /etc/dhcp greets, bb _________________ Desktop: Ryzen 5 5600G, 32GB, 2TB, RX7600 Notebook: Dell XPS 13 9370, 16GB, 1TB Server #1: Ryzen 5 Pro 4650G, 64GB, 16.5TB Server #2: Ryzen 4800H, 32GB, 22TB
