Blocked % way down after update

Please follow the below template, it will help us to help you!

If you are Experiencing issues with a Pi-hole install that has non-standard elements (e.g you are using nginx, apache2 or another reverse proxy, or there is some other aspect of your install that is customised) - please use the Community Help category.

Expected Behaviour:

Replace this text with what you think should be happening. Please include as much detail relevant to your system/install as possible including, but not limited to:

• From Logfile: "Raspbian=11,12 Ubuntu=20,22,23,24 Debian=11,12 Fedora=40,41 CentOS=9,10" [✗] Error: Raspbian is supported but version 10 is currently unsupported ( Prerequisites - Pi-hole documentation )
• I recently replaced in my /etc/apt/sources.list file the address for raspbian.raspberrypi.org with legacy.raspbian.org, which allowed me to update/upgrade the OS. I then upgraded pihole.
• Raspberry Pi 4

Actual Behaviour:

Many more ads appearing unblocked in, e.g. New York Times, Boston Globe

Looks like the update was not completed.

You have mixed component versions:

*** [ DIAGNOSING ]: Core version
[✓] Version: v6.0.1
    (...)
 
*** [ DIAGNOSING ]: Web version
[✓] Version: v6.0
    (...)

*** [ DIAGNOSING ]: FTL version
[✓] Version: v6.4.1
    (...)

FTL is the latest, but the other components are older and probably not compatible.

Please run sudo pihole -r. After that, what is the output of pihole -v?

[harrynewell]

pihole -v reports exactly the same mixed versions as you list above, after I run pihole -r

When I try to check the Groups from the admin dashboard on the web interface I get the error shown in the attachment below.

Also the Domains tab shows a div zero error and the Pi-hole remote app on my phone gives me the error " Error: database error. Could not read domain from database table. Database not available."

[rdwebdesign]

The errors are caused by the mixed versions. They are not compatible with each other, but apparently something else is not allowing the update.

@harrynewell

I recently replaced in my /etc/apt/sources.list file the address for raspbian.raspberrypi.org with legacy.raspbian.org, which allowed me to update/upgrade the OS. I then upgraded pihole.

Not sure if this is causing the issues... maybe...
This is completely untested and I will never be able to reproduce the current state of your OS. We can't support or test Pi-hole in older operating systems like this.

---

As a last resort, you still can try to completely remove and replace the old files with the new ones, using these commands:

sudo rm -rf /var/www/html/admin
sudo git clone https://github.com/pi-hole/web.git /var/www/html/admin

cd /
sudo rm -rf /etc/.pihole
sudo git clone https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole /etc/.pihole

After that, please run sudo pihole -r again to complete the update.

Well, no doubt someday sooner or later I will have to install the most current OS to keep pihole working.

But your instructions did the job for now!!

Pihole is now completely up to date and functioning normally. Thanks so much!

I can stand to read the Boston Globe online again.

You should do it.

Buster is too old and not maintained anymore.
