How to debug a website that doesn't work properly

[thadiyan]

Hello,

I am trying to log into lowes.com and with pi-hole enabled.

Is there a wiki that tells me how to debug and white list any sites that will allow me to login and do what I have to do. I have whitelisted lowes.com & lowescdn.com but to no avail.

Any thoughts appreciated.

Thanks,

I'll point you to these two FAQs, which should help determine what domain(s) you may need to whitelist.

How do I watch and interpret the pihole.log file?

Use this command to watch the log file in real time: pihole -t which is just a short version of sudo tail -F /var/log/pihole.log You can also do it on the web interface: [image] When your Pi-hole first starts up, it will read your hosts file as well as /etc/pihole/gravity.list, which is where your list of ad-serving domains is. So one of the first log entries will read like this: Nov 13 07:45:04 dnsmasq[1055]: read /etc/hosts - 5 addresses Nov 13 07:45:06 dnsmasq[1055]: read /etc/pihole/g…

How do I determine what domain an ad is coming from?

Block ads or fix broken sites This FAQ is written in the context of finding out how to block an ad that isn't blocked automatically, but the same steps can be used to troubleshoot issues with sites that don't function properly. An example is that sometimes certain payment gateways try to collect metrics on the sale, but these domains are blocked by Pi-hole, so the payment cannot be processed. Also, some links send you through several referrers and if one of them is blocked, you may land on a …

Also, you may want to help contribute your findings to our community-editable list of commonly whitelisted domains.

I don't have a Lowe's account, but let us know if you still can't log in after whitelisting the domains you find.

I'm experiencing the same issues with Lowes.com, I notice when I click on "Check other stores" to search for inventory nothing happens but when I disable pi-hole everything works. I can't seem to find anything relevant in the logs either.

Did you ever resolve this?

Also having the same problem. I can't change stores, and can't figure out how to unblock it.

The solution is to whitelist maps.googleapis.com -- that's the only way to allow you to change stores.

There is more than maps.googleapis.com. I tried to whitelist that URL with the pihole -w command, but it returns a message that it does not need to be whitelisted because it is not blacklisted.

When I click "Check other stores" nothing happens. There are no entries listed in the query log on pihole. But if I change my DNS and not use pihole, I am able to check other stores.

Does anyone have this working with pihole ?

Did you ever resolve this?

Whitelisting assets.adobedtm.com did it for me.
