How to edit, save dhcpd.conf file to modify the dhcp range given by dhcp server. I attempted but when dhcpd service starts, the dhcpd.conf file back to previous status. the main problem is i cannot restart my sme server this time.

Hi, welcome here


SME server (as Nethserver, that you already know) relies on db/templates/fragments/event paradigm, so editing conf file is the wrong approach to the problem (and you've been already told so elsewhere)

if you need to change your dhcp range,

Code: [Select]

config setprop dhcpd start your_first_ip end your_last_ip
expand-template /etc/dhcpd.conf
service dhcpd restart


moreover, please take some time to read the documentation, thank you

You have also a contrib smeserver-dhcpmanager http://wiki.contribs.org/Dhcpmanager

...or, if you just want to modify the DHCP range, you can do that through the "configure this server" option at the console (log in as admin at the console to access it).

unfortunately, if you do so you have to reboot your server.. and that's not an option sometimes.. and, sincerely, reboot a server to change dhcp range is quite (let me say) stupid

  hi stefano, you are the hero. that works very well for me as i planned. thank you very very much. As you said, I am very sad about my linux knowledge. But i have to improve it so that i can work any further.

[Stefano]

you are welcome

the manual link is just above.. please read it, twice

[smnirosh]

Stefano, I feel that you have replied me other way around. Is that you there?

[Stefano]

yes, it was me

[smnirosh]

KK. thanks  very much. Now I feel cool because of every day someone says at early morning, I cannot access network drive bla bla bla bla. now they are working shut them mouths up.

rebooting the server is normal for updates so is it reasonable to do all the updates in a singe reboot?

Dear friends, can I ask any kind of issues about windows, ios, mac, android, linux and as well as nethservice from this comunity? Because this is the first time I joined to a comunity ever. 👍

[stephdl]

You are welcome, no problem for that but here it is the sme server community....not the nethserver community.

[smnirosh]

Ok. Thanks for the info. Can i have a little comparission between redhat linux and sme server.

Sme server is a centos based linux distro (sme9 is centos6 based) with a web server-manager and a system of templates and databases.

Nethserver is a fork of smeserver with another team.
