You will find that both mountd and nfsd are invoked by
/etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server.
$ egrep "nfsd|mountd" /etc/init.d/*

As root, do the following --
$ netstat -pnl|egrep "nfsd|mountd"
# if the netstat command comes back empty, then nfsd/mountd is not #
running
If they both appear to be running and listening, then do the next -
$ showmount -e
# This will show what your nfs server is currently exporting
If neither command returns any results, then I would assume you do not
have nfs server support in the kernel. If you are still running the
stock kernel and have not compiled your own kernel, then you should have
modules for nfsd.
As root --
$ modprobe nfsd
$ lsmod # to confirm successful loading of nfsd
$ /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server start
$ /etc/init.d/nfs-common start
Rerun the netstat and showmount commands above to confirm nfsd is
running. Add nfsd to /etc/modules to make the change persistent.
$ echo "nfsd" >> /etc/modules
