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

Expected Behaviour:

[After installation of pihole in centos 7 i try to access my pihole in web gui but it display nothing. I perform ping test to check if my pihole is connected to my network and i found out that it is connected, Then i check systemctl status lighttpd.service because i thought that this is a web server service issue then i found out this error (code=exited, status=255) under lighttpd.conf.]

Actual Behaviour:

[Diagnostic pihole process
dnsmasq daemon is unknown
lighttpd daemon is failed
pihole-FTL daemon is active]

Debug Token:

[bzgoljho6g]

Could you post the contents of /var/log/lighttpd/error.log? That should print out what the problem is.

I GUESS something is not correct with the lightttpd.conf file. TBF- there's not enough information to go on but I would also look at the Fedora-based lighttpd.conf from the PIHole Github repo and copy/paste?

This is not abnormal - in Pi-Hole V4, pihole-FTL has the dnsmasq code embedded and runs in place of dnsmasq. The debug log will report dnsmasq as failed, inactive, etc.

This is the problem. Lighttpd is the web engine that supplies the admin interface.

What is the output of the following command from the Pi-Hole host terminal:

ls -laZ /var/www/html/admin

From your debug log - do you intend to be running SELinux in enforcing mode?

*** [ DIAGNOSING ]: Operating system
[✓] CentOS Linux 7 (Core)

*** [ DIAGNOSING ]: SELinux
[✗] Default SELinux: enforcing
[✗] Current SELinux: Enforcing

*** [ DIAGNOSING ]: Processor
[i] x86_64

Hi Sir thank you for your support. I found this link that have same problem with me.

This is caused by a change in a recent version of lighttpd which slightly broke the config script we set.
