Dhcp not starting at reboot
-
hi for a while now whenever I reboot Dhcp server doesn't start.
Same with dnsmasq
In the log I did found an entry for dhcp but not for dns
Jan 20 00:14:31 php: : The command '/usr/local/sbin/dhcpleases -l /var/dhcpd/var/db/dhcpd.leases -d byronent.eu -p /var/run/dnsmasq.pid -h /var/etc/hosts' returned exit code '1', the output was 'lease file needs to exist before starting dhcpleases: No such file or directory'
After logging on and clicking on start service it works
Anybody else ? Is this a config problem? Or a bug?

Are you sure there are no other log messages, perhaps on the DHCP tab?
I saw something similar once where a stale pid file was left in /var/run and for some reason it refused to start because it believed it was already running.
You might just try to rm /var/run/* and then immediately reboot.

I've tried it a couple of times,
however it stays the same…

This looks like the bug I've found here

That one is unrelated.
The dhcpleases error is not the one you're after. You'd want one from just dhcpd. Check the DHCP log tab.
