This is one of a pair of RPI 3B+ running fedora 32. Pihole is up and running on the other one, but fails to install on this one.

2

Why are you running the installation scrip on a system with Pi-hole already installed?

3

Pihole is not installed. A previous installation attempt failed. Is there a way for me to clean it up so that a new installation can succeed?

4

See here:
https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/issues/3217

5

Can you check and see if there are any files in /etc/sysconfi/network-scripts/ with a filename starting with ifcfg? Something like ifcfg-<interfacename>?

7

Well, sure the file ifcfg-eth0 is in that directory, but that's completely normal and required for fedora.

8

It's good that they are there.

What image are you using? Can we get a URL to try to duplicate?

Can you start with a fresh OS that doesn't have any local git repos cloned? (No /etc/.pihole or /var/www/html/admin).

I will not have access to the box again until Sunday or Monday. Since I had previously installed pihole and removed it, I think the earlier suggestion to delete the pihole group will probably fix the problem. I will wait to see if that works, before trying anything else.

Thanks for your suggestion.

Deleting the pihole group before reinstalling fixed the problem.

Thanks for your help.
