Proxmox DHCP

[Zer0]

Hi, I'm using OVH and trying to setup DHCP to work. It installed fine but there's nothing I can do to make it start:

root@nsXXX:~# systemctl restart isc-dhcp-server
Job for isc-dhcp-server.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status isc-dhcp-server.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

Running systemctl status isc-dhcp-server.service:

Job for isc-dhcp-server.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status isc-dhcp-server.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

I have interface set to vmbr0. After the default configuration not working I tried other posts including this one: https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/125165/assign-static-ips-to-kvm-vps-in-proxmox-using-dhcp. I'm very frustrated that nothing is working. If anyone can offer guidance on this I'd really appreciate that. Thanks.

Does not count - important is what

 netstat -tulpn | grep 67

reports. The result should contain a line like

udp    10880      0 0.0.0.0:67              0.0.0.0:*                           5259/dhcpd

If yes, DHCP service is active.
