Service isc-dhcp-server fails to start

Question

I'm currently working on a project of making an highly secured router with my RaspberryPi to navigate anonymously on the net. Yet, I'm not able to correctly configurate the daemon to finalise the wifi the Internet connection to the new server:

Indeed, when I do:

:~ $ sudo service isc-dhcp-server start

I get:

Job for isc-dhcp-server.service failed. See 'systemctl status isc-dhcp-server.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.

Here are my /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf settings

authoritative;

#added

subnet 192.168.42.0 netmask 255.255.255.0{
        range 192.168.42.10 192.168.42.50;
        option broadcast-adress 192.168.42.255;
        option routers 192.168.42.1;
        default-lease-time 600;
        max-lease-time 7200;
        option domain-name "local";
        option domain-name-servers 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4;
}

And here are my /etc/network/interfaces settings:

source-directory /etc/network/interfaces.d

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet manual

allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
adress 192.168.42.1
netmask 255.255.255.0

iface wlan0 inet dhcp

iface eth0 inet manual

allow-hotplug wlan0

netmask 255.255.255.0

iface wlan0 inet dhcp
    wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

allow-hotplug wlan1
iface wlan1 inet manual
    wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

up iptables-restore < /etc/iptables.ipv4.nat

My RaspberryPi is wirely connected but has a wifi dongle

Here is the systemctl status isc-dhcp-server.service

:~ $ systemctl status isc-dhcp-server.service

Some parts are written with a scary red...

and here is the journalctl

Solution

There was to things:

The most obvious one was to write address with two "d" here:

subnet 192.168.42.0 netmask 255.255.255.0{
        range 192.168.42.10 192.168.42.50;
        option broadcast-adress 192.168.42.255;
        option routers 192.168.42.1;
        default-lease-time 600;
        max-lease-time 7200;
        option domain-name "local";
        option domain-name-servers 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4;
}

The second one was to start the wireless network by running:

sudo ifup wlan0

And I would have been able to start service isc-dhcp-server I made it thanks to this raspberrypihq tutorial to turn a RPi into a routeur.

Yet, I now have issues to run sudo update-rc.d isc-dhcpd-server enable. Any help would be warmly welcomed!

Try systemctl enable isc-dhcp-server.

@muru I did: :~ $ sudo systemctl enable isc-dhcpd-server Failed to execute operation: No such file or directory hummm...

[Revolucion for Monica]

@muru Great! It works! Thank you! I don't understand why the first one didn't worked...

[muru]

update-rc.d? Since systemd is init, I don't really expect it to.

[Revolucion for Monica]

@muru ho? And what does init stands for? initialisation?
