      “I encountered an issue while configuring dnsmasq. The service fails to start, and I’m receiving the error: Failed to start dnsmasq.service - dnsmasq - A lightweight DHCP and caching DNS server.”

        @fairoozfarhan looking at a glance I think your dhcp-range line is incorrect:

        I believe it should be:

        dhcp-range=192.168.11.2,192.168.15.254,12h
        

        Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG! Get in contact with me (chat bubble in the top right corner) if you want to join in.

        Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

          @fairoozfarhan You didn’t mention what you are trying to do with the swiss army knife called dnsmasq. If you are trying to configure a proxy dhcp server the configuration listed in this tutorial will get you started: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/12796/installing-dnsmasq-on-your-fog-server If you want to use that dnsmasq server for a dhcp and or dns server you need a bit more data in your configuration.

          Usually when dnsmasq fails to start there is a service already using a port it needs to start. Like DNS or DHCP. There may be a log file in /var/log
