D-Star Install error

 

Good evening gentlemen,
Just thought I'd report in the install of the DStar install on a new computer for VE7VIC.
It all went swimmingly and showed no errors in the installation log on the new computer. Except that when a user called in it did not show on the dashboard.

So I had a look at the log files in /var/log and found that there was some complaining in dsgwd.log where it was complaining about DNS_MAC as being invalid.

Luckily I had made copies of the /opt and /dstar directories before I shutdown the old machine and took that home with me to look at.? since it appeard to be complaing about the 10.0.0.1 connection, I looked that up in my backup files and found a completely different MAC address than what was currently in the /opt/products/dstar/dstar_gw/dsgwd/dsgwd.conf file.? Putting the 'old' MAC address in appears to have fixed the issue.? I'm not enough of a Linux guru to know why this happened but I thought I'd report this as a sticking point.

Hardwiring a MAC in any software (well, unless it's a DHCP server, which these are not) is bad practice.

Nonetheless, here we are.? Got bitten by the same thing a while back at VE2RM.

You *claim* not to be a guru but you found the problem and fixed - sounds pretty good to me! ?:-)
