Update from latest 4.x run fine, DNS server and adblocking are working, but can't access admin interface.
On RPi 3B+ running latest Diet-Pi 6.30 (update fresh from this morning !)
Tested on Mac & Windows w/ Safari & Firefox (AdBlock origin checked)
uname -a
Linux SushiPi 4.19.66-v7+ #1253 SMP Thu Aug 15 11:49:46 BST 2019 armv7l GNU/Linux
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && pihole -up && dietpi-update
-> everything up to date
tryed : pihole -r & pihole -g -r
But still won't work.
And a second one with same symptom: See no stats after update to 5.0
There it is clearly that users chose a different webserver where Pi-hole installer then does not grant the required permissions. However DietPi v6.29 patch includes the permissions patch.
Hi @MichaIng. I just walked someone through the process of upgrading since I am 12-13 hours drive away. So that information has been lost. I can configure the new version VPN now, however.
FWIW -- I can see I should probably have joined another thread rather than started a new one and that this issue was NOT a "5.0 matter." So, apologies for both of these transgressions. ;<)
Nothing wrong from your side, nothing to apologise for. You faced a failing Pi-hole update, exiting with error message, if I got it right. Even that the same missing step might lead to the incomplete dashboard in both cases, in your case it makes sense to start with debugging/fixing the failing update .
It was really just by chance that I saw the same incomplete dashboard since I went through my forum notifications list , so it doesn't necessarily mean something.
Ah yes, OP is DietPi, but I pulled in FL-TOAST from another issue by linking it, where I saw the same symptom (no DietPi, but failing pihole -up, likely due to Debian Jessie, and same incomplete dashboard). Sorry for confusion .
I'm also getting an empty dashboard after the upgrade to 5.0. I ran Pi-Hole at home since version 4. Upgraded every time it required, without a problem.
Prior the upgrade v4.1 was runnig smooth, with the /admin served by apache (I'm also running other services on this machine).
Sorry. I missed the details... I'm running Ubuntu server 18.04, with php7.2-intl installed. A search of the php7.3 shows that's not available on the official repos
Run run apt install php7.2-intl instead. Yes this PHP module is a requirement for Pi-hole v5, as well webserver user (www-data) being member of the pihole group, to allow accessing the query database from admin panel.
I run the command to add www-data to the pihole group (usermod -aG pihole www-data) was executed many times (following this suggestion in other similar posts). Here's how the groups are now:
~$ sudo groups pihole
pihole : pihole
~$ sudo groups www-data
www-data : www-data redis pihole
The Gravity db was created successfully
~$ ls -Al /etc/pihole/gravity.db
-rw-rw-r-- 1 pihole pihole 6402048 May 30 01:02 /etc/pihole/gravity.db
.
, so it doesn't necessarily mean something.
