#632 DHCP long delay after fixed leases

[Jonas]

Hi there I recentrly noticed that the DHCP module which comes with the IPCOP takes hours load the complete site when I give some fixed leases. Total count for fixed leases when it begins to slow down is 5, at the moment I have about 40 - the page won't even load anymore now!

Thanks

Jonas

Not a very clear report.
Is your problem the display of dhcp.cgi page?

Could you look on /var/log/httpd/error_log for possible error messages?
You should too uncomment at the beginning of dhcp.cgi page those two directives
use warnings
use CGI::Carp 'fatalsToBrowser';
Remove the # at the beginning of the line.
This should make the report more verbose on /var/log/httpd/error_log

Sorry for my uncomplete report, I'm doing this this first time...

Here the lines from /var/log/httpd/error_log concerning my problem - indeed, there seems to be a problem with dhcp.cgi

(time setting of the machine is incorrect)

You are using IPCop 1.4.15 ?
Any specifics to your fixed leases ?

I just added 40+ leases (using simply 00:00:00:00:00:01 and 192.168.1.1 etc.) and noticed no slow down.

No more info, no real problem, warnings fixed(1.4.16).
Reopen if necessary.

Problem is real (for some configurations):
