Sep 26 17:48:44 beaglebone pihole-FTL[1030]: dnsmasq: cannot open or create lease file /var/lib/misc/dnsmasq.leases: Per

FTL is offline after update to 4.0

First confirm if you still have same status error: If so, you can try change ownership of that file like @technicalpyro previously posted (with sudo this time): sudo touch /var/lib/misc/dnsmasq.leases sudo chown pihole:pihole /var/lib/misc/dnsmasq.leases Restart: sudo systemctl restart pihole-FTL And check again: sudo systemctl status pihole-FTL -l Source of that dnsmasq.leases file is probably revealed if you run below one (dont skip the .*): grep -v '#\|^$' -R /etc/dnsmasq.*
