Default Pi-Image: read-only database

[mombro]

I looked up the ownerships as mentioned here:

[Solved] While executing: attempt to write a readonly database error

make sure the ownerhips are correct in directory /etc/pihole. (you can find right ownership list @deHakkelaar post below.) usermod -aG pihole www-data reboot this solved my problem. some of the files owned by root and that's why readonly error occured.

and they seem correct:
