Can´t upgrade /

The issue I am facing: I can´t update to latest version

Details about my system: Raspberry 3B with Debian Trixie

What I have changed since installing Pi-hole: Nothing
———-

I´ve installed Pihole a few days ago, after a lot of struggle on Debian Trixie. Last week I´ve installed it (to test Pihole) on the same machine in 5 minutes, unfortunadely not this time.

Now I´m trying to update to the lastest version and it doesnt work. After running “sudo bash basic-install.sh” it says this:

[i] SELinux not detected
[✓] Update local cache of available packages

[✓] Checking apt-get for upgraded packages... 2 updates available
[i] It is recommended to update your OS after installing the Pi-hole!

[✓] Building dependency package pihole-meta.deb
[✓] Installing Pi-hole dependency package

[✓] Check for existing repository in /etc/.pihole
[i] Update repo in /etc/.pihole...HEAD is now at 1837b75 v6.2.2 (#6447)
[✓] Update repo in /etc/.pihole

[✗] Check for existing repository in /var/www/html/admin
[✗]Unable to clone GitHub - pi-hole/web: Pi-hole Dashboard for stats and more into /var/www/html/admin : Directory already exists

Error: Could not update local repository. Contact support.

I´m kind of lost here. :neutral_face:

Thanks!

Please upload a debug log and post just the token URL that is generated after the log is uploaded by running the following command from the Pi-hole host terminal:

pihole -d

or if you run your Pi-hole as a Docker container:

docker exec -it <pihole-container-name-or-id> pihole -d

where you substitute <pihole-container-name-or-id> as required.

The error message above and your log shows there is something wrong with the web interface files:

*** [ DIAGNOSING ]: Web version
git status failed

What is the output of this command?

ls -la /var/www/html/admin

I'm not sure what is causing the issue, but we can try the same solution suggested on this other topic:

This will completely remove the web interface files and install them again.
