Can't open /etc/dhcpd.conf.jutu1: No such file or directory

The error is self explanatory. /etc/dhcpd.conf.jutu1 does not exist. make sure its in the directory and that if your writing a file in /etc you have permission to do so. you will need to be root using su or sudo

thanks, it's true the file wasn't at directory which i mean ,i was thinking the location of config file is in /etc/dhcpd.conf.jutu1 couse i saw there the file dhcpd.conf.I used the syntax include in middle of shared networks,it should have be in /var/lib/dhcp/etc/, how can i do that to be just at ./etc directory for config files,couse after i put the files in /var/lib/dhcp/etc/ it ask me again to change the config files in /etc/dhcpd.conf.jutu1 ?

thank you for your reply.

Ok First of all your reply was very difficult to understand so I would ask that you try and be clearer. From what I could understand you have your config file in /var/lib/dhcp/etc? This would be a problem as system config files are stored in /etc. So normally for something like like dhcp. It would store its config files at /etc/dhcp. If you store the files elsewhere your introducing a maintenance issue as later, you or someone else may need to modify the config and said person is going to have hunt down that file as its not where they expect it to be.

That aside I don't know much about dhcp.conf so I can't realy advise you on that. However you need to make sure the dhcp daemon can read the config file by having the right permissions. I suggest copying the permissions on /etc/dhcpcd.conf using chown and chmod. If you really have to have the config file /var/lib/dhcp. I would use a symlink to get round the issue. Although I strongly recommend putting in /etc/dhcp
