Expected Behaviour:
PiHole should be running and resolving DNS for the network
Actual Behaviour:
No DNS resolution or web interface for PiHole. I had to add 8.8.8.8 to the router to resolve DNS
Debug Token:
PiHole could not upload the log file, got this error: There was an error uploading your debug log. * Please try again or contact the Pi-hole team for assistance.
A local copy of the debug log can be found at: /var/log/pihole_debug-sanitized.log
Let me know where I can upload the logfile. I tried uploading it to tricorder.pi-hole.net, but got a 403 Permission denied error.

It looks like you're on v3.1.4, have you tried updating to v3.2? You probably will have to change /etc/resolv.conf to use a different DNS server to access the internet to do the update though.
Hi Mcat, just updated PiHole and unfortunately still stuck with the dnsmasq issue. Here is the journalctl -xn result after restarting dnsmasq service:

I have already run apt-get update & upgrade and there's no updates.Anything else that I can try?
Just to chip in mine has also "stopped working" but only in appearance.
It seems Dnsmasq keeps failing to load in the web GUI even if you try to re-load it;
pihole status
[✗] DNS service is NOT running
However if I run the following;
pihole -g
[✓] Force-reloading DNS service
[✓] DNS service is running
[✓] Pi-hole blocking is Enabled
Maybe it's something screwy with the web GUI? what's even stranger is that when Dnsmasq is "Off" I can still browse the Internet fine despite Pihole being my sole DHCP/DNS server.
