New Installs

No known issues at this time.

Upgrade

After performing the upgrade, the dhcp and dns server are not functional.

To verify if the service is functional do the following from a command line:

 sudo systemctl status dnsmasq.service

If its not working you will get a message similer to below with a failed status:

dnsmasq.service - DNS caching server.

Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/dnsmasq.service; enabled)

Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Tue 2015-09-08 10:38:40 MST; 6s ago

Process: 7798 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/dnsmasq -k (code=exited, status=2)

Main PID: 7798 (code=exited, status=2)

During the upgrade libvirtd was installed. libvirtd uses dnsmasq for virtual machines. This caused a conflict. To verify this is the issue do the following commands:

 sudo lsof -i :53

COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME

dnsmasq 1308 nobody 6u IPv4 20640 0t0 UDP localhost.localdomain:domain

dnsmasq 1308 nobody 7u IPv4 20641 0t0 TCP localhost.localdomain:domain (LISTEN)

 ps -ef| grep <number in bold above>

nobody 1308 1 0 10:04 ? 00:00:00 /sbin/dnsmasq --conf-file=/var/lib/libvirt/dnsmasq/default.conf --dhcp-script=/usr/libexec/libvirt_leaseshelper

root 1309 1308 0 10:04 ? 00:00:00 /sbin/dnsmasq --conf-file=/var/lib/libvirt/dnsmasq/default.conf --dhcp-script=/usr/libexec/libvirt_leaseshelper

if you see something like --conf-file=/var/lib/libvirt/dnsmasq/default.conf then you can fix the dnsmasq problem by issuing the following command and then rebooting.

 sudo systemctl disable libvirtd

 sudo reboot
