To install DHCP server from scratch
apt-get install dhcp3-server |
When it installs you will see that it had a problem. Don’t worry about this failure, we will fix it. I recommend before we make any changes that we do a backup of the config file.
cd /etc/dhcp3
mv dhcpd.conf dhcpd.conf.bak
nano dhcpd.conf |
Here is some sample code for the DHCP configuration
# Sample /etc/dhcpd.conf
# (add your comments here)
default-lease-time 600;
max-lease-time 7200;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option broadcast-address 192.168.1.255;
option routers 192.168.1.1;
option domain-name-servers 192.168.1.1;
option domain-name "gressick.local";
subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.1.10 192.168.1.100;
range 192.168.1.150 192.168.1.200;

If you want to install the VERY light version of DHCP
I use Ubuntu desktop but I find that when it comes to virtualization I prefer to use Ubuntu Server more because of the small foot print and to make things much leaner.
Since the Desktop version is the only one that will auto mount the tools in ESX/ESXi implementations you need to get a copy of the tar.gz file from one of the Desktop versions and then SCP it over to the server version unpack it and then run the installer.
You need some prerequisite tools for it to install.
Then you can simple run the installer from the TAR.GZ file. I ran into some compile issues but in the end it all worked. If I find some more notes then I will post them here, keep coming back.
So I was working on a new install of Redmine.org and it needed Gem 1.3.2 which doesn’t come with the Ubuntu 9.10 in the apt-get packages.
I made sure that Ruby 1.8.7 was install on the system by entering this
If nothing showed up refer to my ruby post for installation instructions.
Ok, so I am going to download the installer to the linux machine and then install
wget http://production.cf.rubygems.org/rubygems/rubygems-1.3.6.zip
unzip rubygems-1.3.6.zip
cd rubygems-1.3.6

Everything should have installed properly. Now look in the folder /usr/bin/ for gem1.8. Now most people might have already caught this but I didn’t at first. you can’t run “gem” from command line because it is actually gem1.8. I created a sym link to the gem1.8 with the below command.
cd /usr/bin
ln -s gem1.8 gem |
That should do it. Log into the system as a regular user and then enter the below to check the gems version
