General

Hi,

would it be possible to run pihole on debian jessie (armel) with apache2? I went through the installation, the pihole interface on webserver is running, but the DNS and FTL Service
failed to start. Please see upload

thank you very much

pihole-FTL does not seem to be running. Let's see what is running on the ports used by Pi-Hole and get the status of pihole-FTL. What is the output of these commands from the Pi terminal:

sudo netstat -nltup | grep 'Proto\|:53 \|:67 \|:80 \|:471'

sudo service pihole-FTL status

thanks for your help

netstat -nltup | grep 'Proto|:53 |:67 |:80 |:471'

i just ran this command:

pihole -up

it says:

/etc/.pihole/automated install/basic-install.sh: line 2358: /usr/bin/pihole-FTL: File or Directory not found!

I checked and the file is there!

5

sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf

edit nameserver 127.0.0.1 to nameserver 9.9.9.9 or your preferred third party DNS service, save and exit

Run pihole -r and select repair.

the output is:

[âś—] DNS service is NOT running

Am not familiar with that architecture but it could be that you have the wrong binary for your arch.
It resembles other issues posted here before.
Wait if @DanSchaper knows more.

That's not a currently supported architecture. See Compatibility - Pi-hole documentation for the list.

If you'd like to try and compile for your platform the instructions are on Install from source - Pi-hole documentation

Hi,

short feddback:

I am using a Qnap Device (TS-121, 2 GHz CPU, 1 GB RAM) with armel Architecture and Debian 8 Jessie.
I compiled FTL DNS according to this doc Install from source - Pi-hole documentation and it is working without any problems now.

Thanks again for your help and this great piece of software!

Kind regards
Thomas
