Failing to start pi-hole on start

Help

Hey, just installed pi-hole on a raspberry pi model B. When i restart the pi it does not bring the dns server back up with it. I checked syslog and got

Mar 3 20:50:51 raspberrypi dnsmasq[391]: mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/var/run/dnsmasq’: File exists
Mar 3 20:50:51 raspberrypi systemd[1]: dnsmasq.service: control process exited, code=exited status=2
Mar 3 20:50:51 raspberrypi systemd[1]: Failed to start dnsmasq - A lightweight DHCP and caching DNS server.
Mar 3 20:50:51 raspberrypi systemd[1]: Dependency failed for Host and Network Name Lookups.
Mar 3 20:50:51 raspberrypi systemd[1]: Unit dnsmasq.service entered failed state.

Seems like its not clearing the folder on shutdown. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Can you get us a pihole -d or from the Web Dashboard, Tools>Generate Debug. Just post the token here when the file has been uploaded.

The token is 4u2j75kx18

Seems like everything looks good. Should I try rebooting the PI then generating the log?

There was a bug in one of the releases that caused some issues with failure to run on boot. Try a reboot and if it's not working, copy and paste the output from /etc/dnsmasq.d/01-pihole.conf and well see if you're affected by the bug.
