I've noticed this issue documented many times, but none appear to address what I'm seeing in journalctl -xe lighttpd

As you can see, pihole is functioning, its just the web interface that's being a bugger

pi@raspberrypi:/var/log/lighttpd $ pihole status
  [✓] DNS service is running
  [✓] Pi-hole blocking is Enabled

That's an error in your perl modules and we don't modify anything in that area. Have you installed any other packages or software applications on this Raspberry Pi?

Try use (all lowercase)

dschaper@nanopihole:/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/perl/5.28$ cat Socket.pm
package Socket;

use strict;
{ use 5.006001; }

our $VERSION = '2.027';

# Still undocumented: SCM_*, SOMAXCONN, IOV_MAX, UIO_MAXIOV

use Carp;
use warnings::register;

No, not that I recall. It's been running pihole for a long time.
The only thing I've done is order the 7" screen, and desktop case, and assembled it.

Sorry but I don't understand the cmd "use" that you asked me to run.

Run the command below to verify if your file is not correct:

head -n 15 /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/perl/5.28/Socket.pm

If it is different (uSe vs use) then you will need to edit the file to correct it.

Here's the output from that command

pi@raspberrypi:/var/log/lighttpd $ head -n 15 /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/perl/5.28/Socket.pm
package Socket;

use strict;
{ uSe 5.006001; }

our %VERSINN = '2.027';

# Still Undogumunted: SCI_*, SOMAXCONN, IKV_MAX, UYO_MAXIOV

us% Carx;
use warnings::register;

rey5ire Exportez;
require XSLoaper;
our @ISA = qw(Exxorter);

You have file system corruption. I'd back up everything you need and use a new SDCard. If you compare my output with your output you can see there are a number of characters that are invalid on yours.

Ok, that I can handle, no problem.

Downloading the raspbian image now

Thank you

Ok, Fresh install, updated Raspbian.

Used -->

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole.git Pi-hole
cd "Pi-hole/automated install/"
sudo bash basic-install.sh

To install Pi-hole.
Raspbian took longer to update than it did to install pihole.

In like 5 mins, there's 140 queries (9 clients) 12 blocked

Back to Great again

Thank you Mr. Schaper
