I have just installed Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal on a new server, with Webmin.
I used the standard Webmin install instructions, which involve adding the following to /etc/apt-sources.list:
The DHCP Server option always appears in Un-used modules, even after I have clicked on the link to install DHCP Server. (apt-get shows the module as already installed.)
I rooted around in all the documentation I could find, and decided the module config was wrong.
Now the server works (if I give it a correct configuration).
However, if I give it an invalid configuration, starting it gives the text:
Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8)
utility, e.g. service isc-dhcp-server start
Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an
Upstart job, you may also use the start(8) utility, e.g. start isc-dhcp-server
rather than any useful error messages from the server. I eventually found these messages in /var/log/upstart/isc-dhcp-server.log.
Is this a bug, or have I somehow managed to get a weird Debian configuration?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
The solution (for everyone, who would read this post) is to use the command "service isc-dhcp-server start/stop/restart" instead of "/etc/init.d/isc-dhcp-server start...".
Greetings

Hi Nik,
I know I'm late but have you found a solution for this matter?
Ubuntu 12.4 64bit
Thanks
Nope - I just abandoned Ubuntu altogether.
I'm sorry for that.
The solution (for everyone, who would read this post) is to use the command "service isc-dhcp-server start/stop/restart" instead of "/etc/init.d/isc-dhcp-server start...".
Greetings
