Is there something else using the same port as your intended DHCP
server?  Perhaps you should post the output of:  netstat -ntua

Do you have security permissions preventing it from running (e.g.
SELinux)?

Hmm, the second posting I've seen very recently about DHCP.  What
exactly is the downloaded DHCP.conf file?

I've attached a copy of what works on my server (my /etc/dhcpd.conf
file), with my domain name renamed to "example.com".  You don't need all
that I've got in mine, I like to experiment with things, but you might
spot some differences between yours and mine that gives you a clue.
