I've got a small problem changing the IP of my Raspberry (Raspian Stretch lite) via PHP.
I wrote a small php page to modify the IP-Address setting by reading a template file replacing the blanks and writing it to /etc/dhcpcd.conf
.
I gave the webserver user (www-data) the permission to write the file and it all works as intended.
After the next boot the server can't find any configuration and set the IP address of the Raspberry to the default DHCP without reaching server address (169.254.X.X).
When I open the file (/etc/dhcpcd.conf
) now with sudo nano /etc/dhcpcd.conf
save it (CTRL + o) and exit (CTRL + x) it without changing anything and reboot afterwards it gets the correct IP address.
The rewritten file looks like this:
# A sample configuration for dhcpcd.
# See dhcpcd.conf(5) for details.
# Allow users of this group to interact with dhcpcd via the control socket.
#controlgroup wheel
# Inform the DHCP server of our hostname for DDNS.

# Use the hardware address of the interface for the Client ID.
clientid
# or
# Use the same DUID + IAID as set in DHCPv6 for DHCPv4 ClientID as per RFC4361.
# Some non-RFC compliant DHCP servers do not reply with this set.
# In this case, comment out duid and enable clientid above.

# Persist interface configuration when dhcpcd exits.

# Safe to enable by default because it requires the equivalent option set

# Example static IP configuration:
interface eth0
static ip_address=192.168.100.15/24
#static ip6_address=fd51:42f8:caae:d92e::ff/64
#static routers=192.168.100.1
#static domain_name_servers=192.168.0.1 8.8.8.8 fd51:42f8:caae:d92e::1
# It is possible to fall back to a static IP if DHCP fails:
# define static profile
#profile static_eth0
#static ip_address=192.168.1.23/24
#static routers=192.168.1.1
#static domain_name_servers=192.168.1.1
# fallback to static profile on eth0
#interface eth0
#fallback static_eth0
