No queries shown admin GUI

[dtb]

I have the same problem. debug token: tmyn6ai0r5

I have rebuilt multiple times, recreated the FTL db, rebooted
the server, etc.

In addition, from debug output:
[✗] dnsmasq daemon is inactive

pihole is working, the gui is not.

@dtb

In addition, from debug output:
[✗] dnsmasq daemon is inactive

This is normal with Pi-Hole V4 - dnsmasq is embedded in pihole-FTL and pihole-FTL runs on port 53 in place of dnsmasq. All the functionality and configuration remains the same. A debug log will report dnsmasq as "failed" or "inactive". Your log reports it as inactive.

Can you post some screenshots showing what you are seeing?

Your lighttpd log has a lot of errors we have pinged the web expert and hopefully he will respond when he is able(currently in school)

Thanks for your patience

You can ignore the errors on 11/11/2018 regarding php-cgi not loading, that has been resolved. Currently I am not seeing any errors (or any output) in the /var/log/lighttpd/error.log. No worries, I understand time. Thanks!

Additional information: If I attempt a "git checkout master", my machine locks hard at the step where it verifies the MD5 of FTL. Unresponsive on console, CPU maxed at 100%. I left it running that way for approx 12 hours before hard booting. This is with Xeon 5550 2.67Ghz CPU. Comes back up with the same symptoms, pihole is working, I can see pihole.log adding entries, but nothing in GUI. Thanks!

Sorry for the delayed response.

From the lighttpd error log:

  2018-11-11 15:33:31: (mod_fastcgi.c.1478) invalid "bin-path" => "/usr/bin/php-cgi" (check that file exists, >is regular file, and is executable by lighttpd)

Your PHP install is either broken or the lighttpd PHP config is misconfigured. Check that you have a FastCGI compatible version of PHP installed, and that the path shown above is valid.
