Hi, I updated to 3.3 recently and now my dnsmasq fails to start (extraneous parameter at line 37 of /etc/dnsmasq.d/01-pihole.conf) and FTL seems not to be running either. Any advice?
my debug token is: 2mv604btjj
Thanks in advance

Pi-hole v3.3 and v3.3.1 are not supported on Jessie with dnsmasq < 2.73:
log-queries=extra flag, which is required for Pi-hole v3.3+. You may see error messages such as:
dnsmasq: extraneous parameter at line 37 of /etc/dnsmasq.d/01-pihole.conf
failed!
There are two option…

Hi All, After a few days of pulling out our hair and troubleshooting this whitelisting issue that some of you have reported, we're finally getting to the bottom of it.
The good news is, whitelisting is not completely broken. You can still whitelist domains from the cli with no issues by calling pihole -w [domain-to-whitelist]. The issue only affects whitelisting from th…
You have a few options:
Install or update to Raspbian Stretch
Update dnsmasq to a version > 2.72
Join the FTLDNS beta
Downgrade to an older version of Pi-hole
Update: 2018-08-06
As of v4.0, Pi-hole ships with _FTL_DNS, our fork of dnsmasq, which should restore compatibility with Raspbian Jessie. We still recommend installing a newer OS as Jessie is EOL anyway.
Please note that this tutorial is only meant for Rasbian Jessie, although it might (to some extend) also help with similar issues on other Debian versions. Do this at your own risk (however, the likeliness of a failure is rather small in our opinion).
First step: Download more recent versio…

In case you missed it , FTLDNS™ is Pi-hole's Faster Than Light (FTL) daemon combined with a DNS/DHCP server (our fork of dnsmasq). So instead of installing dnsmasq as a dependency, we will be distributing all services in a single binary. This will allow us to hook into dnsmasq's functionality at a code- level, as well as ensuring that you are using the latest stable version of the resolver and receive, e.g., i…
if you want to run a different version of Pi-hole, it is possible to install an older version. Typically, we release all three components of Pi-hole at the same time (Core, Web, and FTL), so you'll usually want to install version from the same "release."
For example, we ran into some issues with v3.3 and dnsmasq compatibility with some systems, so some users needed to revert to v3.2.1 (Core and Web) but as part of the 3.2.1 "release," the latest version of FTL was 2.13.2.
Because we version e…
Working perfectly, thank you!
Other option would have been fixing the dnsmasq start script like discussed in
Calisto42,
Thank you for the info and reference to the bug report.
So I manually typed in the changes you pasted into your reply above and found one slight change from what got pasted and what the bugreport solution provided. I think the Discourse editor is gobbling up back quotes (aka "back ticks". In the bugreport answer the entire sed command has single back-tick just before the sed and then another back tick at the end just before that final double-quote.
Let me see if I can "fool" the…
