so you did something like mkdir -p var/state/dhcp
Now what I did next was the equivalent of
touch /var/state/dhcp/dhcpd.leases
This will create a zero-length file.
That is okay, because your server hasn't allocated any IP info to any computers
yet, so the information about allocated IP addresses is empty.
Enjoy your dhcp server!
