Title: DHCPD refuses to start
Post by: Teviot on November 08, 2005, 05:17:48 AM

Hi

I have search the forums for a fix to my problem and haven't been able to find anything that can help me with my problem.

My DHCPD server has stopped for some reason and I can't get it to restart.

Looks like you haven't got a subnet in your network setup. Try using the console and reconfiguring the server. Change the subnet. Reboot, then change back if you need to.[/quote]

Login to the console locally as 'admin' (or via ssh if enabled) and you'll be given the option of re-configuring your server. It basically takes you back through the initial configuration steps when you setup the server. At the end of the process the server will reboot.

Try a reconfig as suggested, with no success.  Still get the same error

Hi
I had same problem a few days ago.
I think it's an update... maybe a bug.
I solved by edit /etc/sysconfig/dhcpd
 and add eth0 there. Mine file looks like:

# Command line options here
DHCPDARGS=eth0


After this, service dhcpd restart solved my problem.
I'm not sure why/how this happen but this solved my problem.

Good luck to you!

Did any one of you upate your sytem via yum?  There is a dhcp update in the updates section.  If you did, then you need to do a post-upgrade, then reboot.

Yes! I do a yum but not a post-install/reboot!

I´m sorry... must be this. But my way (edit file) allow return to work w/o reboot! :)
