Sounds like you tried to paste the entire log (which is not recommended).

We'd just need the token URL that is generated after the log is uploaded.
It will be shown once the upload completed and look similar to https://tricorder.pi-hole.net/A8b4C21d/.

Hi Horn!

Re ran the log but can;t see /find the section on the tolken URL ......

For some reason too that link is forbidden to me on Git hub too ......?

I forgot to add that I ran this and it worked once !

vncserver -interface 192.168.55.10 andf it worked one time ......

Re -run the log, here is two complaints:

*** [ DIAGNOSING ]: Pi-hole processes
[✗] lighttpd daemon is failed
[✓] pihole-FTL daemon is active

*** [ DIAGNOSING ]: Dashboard and block page
[✗] Block page X-Header: X-Header does not match or could not be retrieved.

[✗] Web interface X-Header: X-Header does not match or could not be retrieved.

I dunno if they're of any help and it's my day 2 of trying pi-hole ! :slight_smile:

That sounds as if you found the token URL and tried to open it.
You won't be able to access it - only trusted members of the Pi-hole team can.

Please share that token URL here.

Hi ! I got it working ..... did some reading and tried this:

Ripped it out: root@pihole:~# sudo dpkg -P lighttpd

Put er back in: root@pihole:~# sudo apt install --reinstall lighttpd

Ran a repair: root@pihole:~# pihole -r

And I now have access to the Pi-Hole desktop console again! Thanks for your help to BTW !

Cheers'
Dave
