ISC DHCP Server Linux
-
I've been trying to install the package isc-dhcp-server on my Raspberry Pi (using Raspbian Wheezy) but after installing, it fails to start the service. I get this:
Setting up isc-dhcp-server (4.2.2.dfsg.1-5+deb70u6) ...
[FAIL] Starting ISC DHCP Server: dhcpd[....] check syslog for diagnostics. ... failed!Now, I'm a total Linux noob, what can I do to find the origin of the error and fix it? (first of all where do I find that syslog that I'm supposed to check?) Also, I'm following this guide[^] but I'm stuck at this point.

Also, I'm following this guide[^] but I'm stuck at this point.G'day Emmanuel, While I'm no Linux Guru I have been using and supporting it for several years, so I'll try and help where I can. First up can you tell me if you have the 256MB Type B (Black 3.5mm audio port) or the 512MB Type B (Blue 3.5mm audio port)? I don't think this will be an issue, but I have both and would like to use the same one you are, just in case there is an issue with one and not the other. The other thing I would like to know is what edition of Linux are you running on it. I have OpenELEC running on the 256MB Raspberry Pi with the 512MB doing nothing. I haven't installed any of the other Linux Distributions to play with yet. Finally, what SD card are you using? I have had issues with Patriot Class 10 cards (can't be arsed looking up the exact model right now) loading the OS and part way through not being able to be read. Sandisk Ultra cards have been faultless.

I'm sorry I hadn't answered before, I'm on vacation and away from home. The one I' trying that on is a 256MB Model B one but I don't remember which brand of SD Card (I just remember it's an 8GB Class 10) nor which version of Raspbian I'm using. I'll get back to you when I go back home, Thanks!

Great, thanks for that.
