Hello,
I did a clean (fresh) install in my raspberry pi 4B with the Latest Raspbian (Buster) and Repetier Server image for PI. I have Downloaded the latest image from this site: Raspberry Pi Image - Repetier-Server and use PI Imager. After that i did the pihole installation but the dns service is not running as you can see on the attached image.
Despite being an image (OS) on their website (repetier-server), the image is running the latest raspbian version based on debian buster. I send an image attached with the operating system, using the command "cat /etc/os-release", so you can check.
Can you help me with that? Thanks in advance.
The Pi-hole log only confirms that pihole-FTL is not running. Let's see what else is on port 53 and other ports used by Pi-hole. The OS you are using is not supported, and there may be other processes running or missing dependencies.
Please post the complete output of this command from the Pi terminal:
Run the following and post the output of the second of the two commands. Please copy/paste the text output instead of posting an image if you can do so.
Ah sorry jfb. Please check if it is okay like that:

You have a problem in this configuration file. I assume this file is something installed by the Repetier Server software. When pihole-FTL can't properly load the configuration files, it won't launch. You can confirm this with the following command:
pihole-FTL dnsmasq-test
Please post the contents of that configuration file:
As a troubleshooting step, I would move that configuration file out of /etc/dnsmasq.d (don't rename it and leave it in place - it will still be read) and then restart FTL and see if the problem clears.
I'm also curious what is in the README file - that is not a Pi-hole file.
This will put the file in the /etc/pihole directory (perhaps not the best location to hold it, but I don't know how your directories are configured with your OS distribution).
