I had a working raspberry pi AP previously configured using isc-dhcp-server. I installed RaspAP which I think is an awesome webgui to easily controlling the AP. However, it looks like it cannot coexist with isc-dhcp-server and uses dnsmasq to handling the assignment of the IP addresses, DNS, etc to the connected clients. Is it possible to get RaspAP to use isc-dhcp-server instead of dnsmasq. The config file for isc-dhcp-server is located at /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf
Thank you.

I think that to use an alternative to dnsmasq you would need to make some changes to the code, in particular includes/dhcp.php. The dnsmasq (and other) command line tools are called using the exec method so these are the things to look for.

If you do feel inclined to create a pull request for this then it would be helpful if it could be configurable via the raspap.php configuration file.

The administration interface for isc-dhcp-server is different enough from dnsmasq that this would necessitate significant code changes. Given that dnsmasq does everything needed for the project, this is not likely to happen.

I would, however, encourage you to create a PR or fork the project.
