dnsmasq help

[ghostlywind]

I'm trying to setup a DHCP on my fon because no IPs show up on my Jasager page even when someone is connected and i looked around the board on how to do this and a lot of the topics said use /usr/sbin/dnsmasq -K -F 10.1.1.100,10.1.1.200. When ever i issue this command through putty i get an error that says:

dnsmasq: cannot open or creae lease file /var/lib/misc/dnsmasq.leases: No such file or directory

Is there anyway to fix this?

Hi ghostlywind, I'm looking into this also -

dnsmasq man page: http://thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/docs/dnsmasq-man.html

Given the error you're getting, it looks like it's trying to write the lease file to a non-existing path location.

Check your /etc/dnsmasq.conf

There should be an entry in it like this:

dhcp-leasefile=/tmp/dhcp.leases

I just checked the processes running on my newly built (stock) Jasager, and found the following:

/usr/sbin/dnsmasq --dhcp-range=lan, 192.168.1.100,192.168.1.250,255.255.255.0,12h

You could try that...

There is no dnsmasq.conf in my /etc just a file called dnsmasq.options

You could just symlink /var/lib/misc/ to /tmp

ln -s /var/lib/misc/ /tmp
