Please follow the below template, it will help us to help you!

Pihole.log is empty! The query log in the webinterface shows proper data. The pihole-FTL.db is being written also, so no issues there.

No, the logging is not off. I checked.
In setupVars.conf
API_QUERY_LOG_SHOW=all
In pihole-FTL.conf
PRIVACYLEVEL=0

If you are Experiencing issues with a Pi-hole install that has non-standard elements (e.g you are using nginx instead of lighttpd, or there is some other aspect of your install that is customised) - please use the Community Help category.

I am using nginx.

Expected Behaviour:

pihole.log should not be empty

Actual Behaviour:

pihole.log is empty

Well, that's just the web interface. I changed it a bit to help me display the way I wanted it. It was working fine until yesterday. I didn't even update it. Don't know what happened.

Sorry about that. I didn't know nginx wasn't supported.

AdminLTE is the web interface. Your core code is also modified.

We do have a user provided guide for nginx and others have made it work. Search nginx in this community help forum.

I think that's the guide I had used when I installed it with nginx.
Anyways, I just reinstalled and everything works fine (with nginx and the changed code). Don't know what the problem was.

This is just an FYI, I guess since the problem is now gone.
