I'm pretty new to pihole and I'm not sure what caused the problem. Thanks for any help!
Expected Behaviour:
pihole is functioning and blocking, but the FTL is offline so i have no data on the web interface.
Actual Behaviour:
FTL is offline.

You have version 3.2.1
of core, but the latest versions of web and FTL. What is the output of pihole -up
?
It says that everything is up to date.
What happens when you
sudo service pihole-FTL start
Nothing, but FTL is still offline
What about the log file after it has been started?
Can you send us your entire pihole-FTL.log
?
cat /var/log/pihole-FTL.log | pihole tricorder
It tells me to use Netcat and i really don't know what do to
Yeah, that error is a bit vague. There are different versions of netcat out there (netcat
, nc
, ncat
, nmap-ncat
, etc.). Interesting you were able to upload the original debug token though.
Will you please make a new debug token for me with pihole -d
and then also send me your full log using one of these methods (one should work for you).
Method 1: Generate a debug token via the Web interface
Log in to your Pi-hole's Web interface
Navigate to Tools > Generate debug log
Click the Generate debug log button
Send us the debug token
[debug]
Method 2: Use the command line to generate a debug token
Login into your Pi-hole's command line
Enter pihole -d
Provide us with the debug token that is generated after the debug script completes
Alternative: Securely sending us additional information
Preferred Method
If there is additi…
Sorry for the late reply! I wasn't home so i couldn't ssh into my pi.

Can you try this to try to get your Core up to v3.3?
[36344748-a4c5d0bc-13d3-11e8-8fe0-84534f3dc006]
This is a known issue following the release of v3.3 . You can run these commands to fix the issue:
cd /etc/.pihole && sudo git fetch --tags
If it's still offline, try this (it will delete any customizations you may have made to the Web interface).
sudo rm -rf /var/www/html/admin
sudo git clone https://github.com/pi-hole/AdminLTE.git /var/www/html/admin
Also didn't work. There was an error that catched my eye.
Downloading and Installing FTL...
Error: Unable to get latest release location from GitHub
FTL Engine not installed
As long as your install is not heavily customized, can you
pihole uninstall
curl -sSL https://install.pi-hole.net | bash
and then revert to 3.2.1 if that's the version you want to be on:
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…
Did that, uninstalled pihole, used that line and it couldn't finish installation.
Error: Could not update local repository. Contact support.
Do you have any customizations in the Web interface? If not, try this:
sudo rm -rf /var/www/html/admin
sudo git clone https://github.com/pi-hole/AdminLTE.git /var/www/html/admin
I changed the theme to a black theme once.
Tried your solution, got another Error: unable to resole host pi-hole
That's a different situation where you Pi-hole can't seem to reach the Internet. Check your gateway is set properly
gateway, /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts are all correct. But the error still occurs
