If you are Experiencing issues with a Pi-hole install that has non-standard elements (e.g you are using nginx instead of lighttpd, or there is some other aspect of your install that is customised) - please use the Community Help category.

Expected Behaviour:

  • Running pihole on lighttpd

  • Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+

Actual Behaviour:

  • When trying to access pihole admin console I get 500 Internal Error

Steps Taken:

  • Checked pi was running and was still being asssigned ip by router (it was)

  • Restarted pi by removing and re-entering power chord which solved problem. (now looking to see what caused the problem so I can prevent it happening again)

  • Ran pihole -r after rebooting

  • Original pihole debug log ran from admin console after reboot can be found here: https://pastebin.com/vz4k6Sy4
