DHCPD not installed in the default library, gives me trouble

namicron · 05-20-2009, 10:42 AM

Hi all

I have install dhcpd by this

./configure --prefix=/srv/dhcp-4.1.0/
make
make install

When i start up the dhcpd with a correct dhcpd.conf file it gives me this error, no subnet declararion for eth0 bla bla bla, mostly because i think it cannot find the dhcpd.conf file. Maybe its because i have to link the DHCPD to know where to find the dhcpd.conf file?

does anybody have an idea of what could be wrong and what should i look for?

Thanx for all reply

The above statement confused me, so maybe I misunderstand your question, but from the source code (dhcbd.h):

Code:

#define _PATH_DHCPD_CONF	"/etc/dhcpd.conf"

Is that the location of your config file?

if I do this
./configure --prefix=/srv/dhcp-4.1.0/
make
make install

my dhcp.conf is in /srv/dhcp-4.1.0/etc/dhcp.conf

and btw, i have made it work now with the ./dhcpd -cf /srv/dhcp/etc/dhcpd.conf

-cf defines where dhcpd should look for its configuration file if it is not place by default
