atl_andy Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 I'm going to start here because I think this is a linux issue and not apache. My LAMP server is running on Fedora 8, with a static ip of 192.168.10.51. I noticed today that when the server reboots, the ip becomes 192.168.10.143. A gui under system->network shows a static ip of .51, but ifconfig in a terminal window shows an ip of .143. Confusion has set in. How can I have a static ip set, but the system acts as if it is still using dhcp? Logic told me that ifconfig trumps the gui, and I set the ip back to .51 manually. Where should I look/what should I change to make the static ip permanent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neylitalo Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Check /etc/conf.d/net and /etc/conf.d/net.example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steviewdr Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Check: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 Below is a sample based on a rpm distro: -bash-3.1# cat ifcfg-eth0 # Please read /usr/share/doc/initscripts-*/sysconfig.txt # for the documentation of these parameters. TYPE=Ethernet DEVICE=eth0 #BOOTPROTO=dhcp BOOTPROTO=none ONBOOT=yes IPADDR=10.0.0.10 NETMASK=255.255.0.0 GATEWAY=10.0.0.1 -steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atl_andy Posted April 22, 2008 Author Share Posted April 22, 2008 Steve-- ifcfg-eth0 was set up properly BOOTPROTO=static IPADDR=192.168.10.51 Is there another config file that controls ip's during boot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviewdr Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 You might be aswell to do a: yum remove dhcp (do a "yum list installed | grep dhcp" first to see the exact name of the dhcp package installed). Do you have just the one network card? (try doing: "lspci | grep -i ethernet" to find out. lspci might not work by default on fedora). It could well be that your gui sits ontop of the sysconfig and changes it after the system boots. I would try removing the dhcp package and then seeing. -steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atl_andy Posted April 24, 2008 Author Share Posted April 24, 2008 Thanks for your time on this. I have removed dhcp and it still went to the wrong ip at reboot. The server does have eth1 as well, but I disabled that a while ago thinking it was interfering. I'm going to see what networking services are starting at boot and track it down that way.
