DHCP Server

Set DHCP ( Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol ) Server in Linux Box.

Lets first install DHCP package in
1. yum -y install dhcp

Now that you have installed the dhcp package in your linux box, lets start configuring it.

2. cp /usr/share/doc/dhcp*/dhcpd.conf.sample /etc/dhcpd.conf

3. vim /etc/dhcpd.conf

#line 4: specify your network and subnet

subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {

# line 7 : specify default gateway
option routers192.168.0.1;

# line 8: specify subnetmask
option subnet-mask255.255.255.0;

# line 10: specify NIS domain name if you are using.
# make it comment if you don not use.
option nis-domain "bhutanhorizon.com";

# line 11: specify domain name
option domain-name "bhutanhorizon.com";

# line 12: specify IP address of DNS
option domain-name-servers 192.168.0.10;

# line 14: make it comment
# option time-offset-18000;

# line 21: specify the range of IP addresses for clients
range dynamic-bootp 192.168.0.128 192.168.0.254;

# line 22: default's terms of lease
default-lease-time 21600;

# line 23: maximun terms of lease
max-lease-time 43200;

# line 26: make following lines comment
#host ns {
#next-server marvin.redhat.com;
#hardware ethernet 12:34:56:78:AB:CD;
#fixed-address 207.175.42.254;
#}

4. Now you have configured the DHCP server. Now you need to start the service named dhcpd

service dhcpd start

5. Now you have to make the service start when ever the linux box starts/reboot

chkconfig dhcpd on


That's it! you see how easy it is to configure DHCP in linux box compare to Windows Server OS.

Zimbra Mail Error: not enough free space in mail queue

If you are using Zimbra Mail and you are not able to send any mails and also you see an Error Message " not enough free space in mail queue " under /var/log/message. Then you should try out this solution. 1. Login to the server, and then again login as zimbra as follows: #su - zimbra 2. Check the Postfix message_size_limit, by default it should be 10MB (i.e. '10240000' bytes) as follows: $postconf message_size_limit message_size_limit = 10240000 3. If the value is higher than that, set it as follows to 10MB $ zmprov modifyConfig zimbraMtaMaxMessageSize 10240000 $ postfix reload Now try sending Mail, It should work. You could try out this solution for Error: " SMTP Server Reported: 452 4.3.1 Insufficient System Storage "
