No source list found, or it is empty

[Jim_Ford]

I decided to clear out my blocklists and start again from scratch. I ran pihole -r and selected reconfigure and accepted the 'Steven Black' list.

The installation showed "No source list found, or is empty". Also the web dashboard shows "Domains on Adlists 0". /etc//pihole/adlists.list simply shows "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/hosts"

Is the installation OK, please?

Please upload a debug log and post just the token URL that is generated after the log is uploaded by running the following command from the Pi-hole host terminal:

pihole -d

or do it through the Web interface:

Tools > Generate Debug Log

Thanks for the reply 'jfb'. I've uploaded the log to here:

You have no adlists loaded:

*** [ DIAGNOSING ]: Adlists

*** [ DIAGNOSING ]: contents of /etc/pihole
...

Restore the default adlist by adding the following URL to your adlists, saving the change, and then rebuilding gravity.

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/hosts

The SteveBlack url was already in /etc/pihole/adlists.list file. It's the only entry.

I re-entered it in Adlist Group Management page, saved it and re-ran update gravity and now all is OK.
Many thank for the help 'jfb'.

@Jim_Ford

The SteveBlack url was already in /etc/pihole/adlists.list file. It's the only entry.

That file is not used in V5 of Pi-hole or later. We store all the adlists (and domains and groups, etc), in an SQL database at /etc/pihole/gravity.db.
