Hi,
I figured out a (relatively simple) way to get PIHole and PiAware to work on the same box.
This was an issue that came up in this discussion [Pi-hole and piaware - lighttpd?](https://discourse.pi-hole.net/t/pi-hole-and-piaware-lighttpd/9611) but that's closed, and I can't reply ☹
Simply create a new config file in `/etc/lighttpd/conf-available/` called `87-dump1090-fa-documentroot.conf` and set its contents to:
```auto
server.modules += ("mod_alias")
$SERVER["socket"] == "[::]:8080" {
server.document-root = "/usr/share/dump1090-fa/html"
}
```
Create a symlink to this config file in `/etc/lighttpd/conf-enabled/` with this command:
```auto
ln -s /etc/lighttpd/conf-available/87-dump1090-fa-documentroot.conf /etc/lighttpd/conf-enabled/87-dump1090-fa-documentroot.conf
```
then restart lighttpd (`systemctl restart lighttpd`) and enjoy your PiAware SkyView on port 8080 🙂
**Note** this seems to be a bug in PiAware's way of creating the lighttpd files - they don't set the documentroot in a config file, nor they ensure that the alias module is enabled. I want to report it to them, but right now GitHub is having some issues. I'll do it tomorrow, provided I don't forget.

@SoNic67 and @DanSchaper FYI, because you spent quite some time debugging this in the original post 🙂
Happy PiAwareing!

You are a bloody legend.
My Pi is located 2000km away from me on a remote island.
I thought I had broken my precious PiAware setup by installing PiHole.
I thought I had to wipe the SD and reinstall PiAware. Given the Coronavirus lockdown, this was going to be impossible.
Your approach has been a miracle.
Thank you very much
