its like my lists are not working foe some odd reason any ways i bout a pi 4 and got it today ill test to see if the same issue occurs.
But also im getting issues with block lists not working which to me i believe relates to the gravity error,
i don't think is a parsing issue i believe its a permissions issue.
Ive also notice some sort of pausing while it retrieves block lists as if it gets stuck then moves forward.
also i notice on raspbian the installer works flawlessly to install 4.0 but on armbian it stops when installing the dependency for php, i think there is an installer incompatibility issue with armbian going on.
We'll need to check this. I don't think we have special rules against importing localhost, it is likely that at least parts of your issue are related to this. Also, because reducing the number of lists is a solution for you (so I assume it works without the lists containing localhost?).
We officially support Debian (+ Raspbian), Fedora, and CentOS.
As a project done by a few in volunteer work, we have not only limited time, but also limited financial possibilities to go out shopping for hardware. We simply cannot afford getting compatibility with all devices that are out there, however, as you see here, we're always trying our best to help users. Even though your issue is still not fully, the major issue seems to be the extreme number of lists containing something invalid (see below).
Please try
This may fix your (or at lease parts of your) issue. This other discussion also contains an instruction how to obtain the domains that are causing the issues like
so we can see what one of these unescaped " characters is about.
i fully understand and i appreciate the hard work that you and the team put in, ill get my spare sd and throw pi hole back on to it, the rock 64 want exactly, a choice i wanted to make at the time but considering my pi3 was having issues i made the leap since it was the only board with its capability that i could afford at the time.
ill load up the new update on it and check hopefully it should nail it.
You are creating your own problem here. If you try to import lists that aren't properly formatted for Pi-Hole, they won't import properly and can cause the problems you are seeing here.
You will have to look at the contents of each of the lists to which you subscribe and eliminate those lists that have invalid entries. Or, start with the original lists only and then add lists one at a time until you have an import failure, then eliminate that list.
I have been I've been triple checking, I can't seem to find the incorrectly formatted list yet, I've been deleting lists that are dead, and I removed some of an old lists that I made myself, I'll keep checking but so far I haven't found which list it is, I'll see if it's lists that have comments in them that's throwing up the error, so far I'm still having the locked database error when GUI importing so the permissions are still broken even on the pi 4.
I'll disable all lists that are not stock and gravity till I get the error to occur again.
