#3775 Debian: Webmin doesn't detect isc-dhcp-server 4
Hi Jamie,
Since Debian Squeeze, the default dhcpd is the "isc-dhcp-server" in version 4.
It has the same configuration syntax like dhcpd3.
Webmin default config doesn't work for the isc-dhcp-server 4.
The attached file is the webmin-config for the dhcp-server module which contains the necessary parameters for the isc-dhcp-server
Greetings
Julian
/etc/webmin/dhcpd/config
Thanks for the file ..
What is the version number of debian squeeze, as show in /etc/debian_version ?
The content of /etc/debian_version is:
squeeze/sid
I'm kind of reluctant to put any effort into support squeeze yet, as it is still under development and so config files may move around before the final release..
Debian Squeeze is in "freeze"-state, so I think there shouldn't occur any big changes
getting this issue on ubuntu 15.10
stalling package(s) with command apt-get -y --force-yes -f install dhcp3-server ..
Reading package lists...
Building dependency tree...
Reading state information...
Package dhcp3-server is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package 'dhcp3-server' has no installation candidate
.. install failed!

Note: This page is obsolete. Since precise 12.04 LTS, Ubuntu uses another name for this package (isc-dhcp-server) and the configuration is slightly different. See the page isc-dhcp-server for up-to-date documentation.

Bronson - what does the os_verison= line in the /etc/webmin/config file contain on your system?
os_type = debian-linux
os_version = 3.1
real_os_type = Ubuntu Linux
real_os_version = 15.10
Ok, the problem here is that Webmin doesn't detect Ubuntu 15 properly. This will be fixed in the next release, but until then the work-around is to change the line
os_version = 3.1toos_version = 8.0
