Hi, Just installed my first stretch server using the 9.5 DVD1, installed the normal system environment, no desktop just a ssh server, and added the isc dhcp server. I transferred my original dhcpf.conf file, stripped what I did not need in the new environment and expected no problems. However...
It seems the dhcp service does not want to start but I have no idea why. I have stripped my dhcpd.conf down to barely nothing and a regular test gives no errors but the service refuses to start, why?
