MacOS – DHCP server settings not loading

macososx-server

I’m trying to activate a DHCP server using Server.app but all I get is an empty window "Loading…" and a spinning wheel "Getting service state…" which spins forever. All other services seem to run without problems (except for the spinning wheel which somehow often does not stop spinning). How would I go about troubleshooting this problem?

Apparently, Server.app messed up /etc/bootpd.plist by inserting a </dict> in the middle of the configuration.
