Please run the installer in verbose mode and post the output here:
curl -sSL https://install.pi-hole.net | sudo bash -x
The forum won't let me post stating that new users can only put 5 links in a post. Can you remove this restriction so I can post the output?
Format the entire block of text as "preformatted text" using the </> icon in the top of the reply window, and there should be no links.

Done and thank you
Hate to be overanxious, have you had a chance to review? I'm hating being without a pi-hole on the network.
That copy is everything? It truly ends at + local IFCFG_FILE?
that's where it dies. it quits the gui install right after the network info input and that's it. It never recovers from there and kills the linux install. can't reconnect via ssh, nothing. I'm stumped
additionally, i've tried this in ubuntu 16, 18 and 20, all on aws, but all die in the exact spot
I don't know what would cause that, the next command in the install script after that point is another local variable declaration, something that has no way of triggering a crash.
I've never used AWS for Pi-hole but there may be something in their OS templates that just don't work well with Pi-hole.
just ran it again in a new instance of 20 and it does indeed stop at that line
Sorry, I don't have anything to offer.
I've had a working pi in aws before though, so it would have to had be a recent change if that's the case. I'm just running the command in either a updated ubuntu or non updated ''apt-get update and upgrade". I choose Cloudflare for DNS, then change the IP to my external IP at my location and make it a /32. I'm keeping the default aws gateway of the instance. Click ok and it crashes the gui and never goes further and crashes the ubuntu and it is no longer able to support a ssh connection.
If SSH is down then the IP stack is modified. What IP address are you using for the Pi-hole when prompted? A private IP address that can't be accessed remotely or the public IP address of the VPS? What IP are you using to connect to the VPS?
So, the instance is in a security group that only allows access from the external IP of our home. It's static and put in as x.x.x.x/32 and one can only access ssh, http and dns incoming from that ip. Also, even if the instance is rebooted from aws, it never starts up enough to where you can reconnect.
Is there a console or KVM function that you can use to see a failed VPS status? Something to show what IP address the VPS thinks it should be using? A log tail that shows why it's not bringing up the network?
Oh, didn't see that. If you change the IP to something the AWS gateway doesn't know how to route to then the network will fall apart.
There's a guide a user created for AWS that may be of use to you. It appears the networking changes you are making may not work.
thanks man. much gratitude. if I fix it, i'll let you know what i was doing wrong.

of course it was an id10t issue. I was putting in the external IP of our location when the AWS instance external IP is what needed to be put in. Doing what I did, locked AWS out of the instance which is why I couldn't access as well.
All fixed now. Nasty rabbit hole I went down trying to get this done.
Thanks for the quick assistance!
