The dhcp package does not contain a /etc/dhcpd.conf file. You'll find an
example with

/usr/share/doc/dhcp-3.0.1rc12/dhcpd.conf.sample

Respect too /etc/sysconfig/dhcpd.

Check your /etc/hosts file. It _must_ contain a line

127.0.0.1   localhost.localdomain   localhost

This one is very important and you'll find in that file a comment about
that. It should have a second line which maps your private IP with your
chosen hostname, i.e.

192.168.0.1   server.myhome.lan   server
