Pihole Web Interface Issue

[LVTS]

Thank you for your reply. I have apache installed for a weather application that I have running in PHP. I would like to have PHP running in apache too, but I'm unsure how to specify what PHP version I would like to us in apache. Currently I just get the text of a PHP file when viewing my weather website from apache.

Running the purge command to remove the apache php module brings this output:

root@pi:/home/ape# apt purge libapache2-mod-php7.4
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package 'libapache2-mod-php7.4' is not installed, so not removed
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
  libonig5 libzip4
Use 'apt autoremove' to remove them.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
root@pi:/home/ape#

But I don't remember installing a package with that name when I set apache up.

All of the other commands worked successfully and I no longer get any PHP Warnings when running pihole -r. The web interface is still giving me a 403 Forbidden message however I am getting a diffferent message when running pihole -r (where I would normally see the PHP Warnings.)

root@pi:/home/ape# pihole -r

Oh! So I was on the right lines in Post 11

@PromoFaux

I've actually seen a similar screenshot in several issues / threads today. Usually it is because the user is running the admin page behind apache and is missing a PHP package for sqlite3

See here:

~~Issues · pi-hole/pi-hole · GitHub

Any chance of another debug token please? The original one has expired.

@LVTS

Error: Unable to update package cache. Please try "apt-get update"

And what is the output of apt-get update (may require sudo)

[LVTS]

Yes, you were on the right lines.

I have lighthttpd installed only for the pi-hole though, I don't use apache for that as I want to keep things simple.

Here's the new debug token: https://tricorder.pi-hole.net/3glkuqefic

Here is the output of sudo apt-get update:

EDIT:

After some research I was able to edit the source that sudo apt-get update was using and I removed the broken links by doing the command sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list and removing them.

I am now able to run pihole -r without getting the update error message. Below is the output:

Sorry for editing back and forth, should have read your whole post carefully first

So, great that you solved the repository issues already, generally remove all the Docker Ubuntu repos as well, those caused the warnings when running apt update (the error was caused by the one invalid entry ubuntu buster). The only Docker source should be: https://download.docker.com/linux/debian buster

Since Ondrejs repository is still in place, while PHP7.3 is as well still installed, Pi-hole again pulled PHP7.4 through the php-intl meta package. I mean if it works now without issues, probably better to not touch a running system . However to cleanup the following could be done:
Identify where Ondrejs repo is located

grep -r sury /etc/apt/ 

Remove the found line or file.
Purge again all PHP7.4 packages + the php-intl meta package:

apt purge 'php7.4-*' php-intl
apt autopurge

Install intl module for PHP7.3:

apt install php7.3-intl

But that should be it, Lighttpd was using PHP7.3 anyway, the missing intl module for that version could have caused some issues on web UI.

[LVTS]

haha don't worry about it!

Yes, took some googling as my knowledge of Linux is very limited but I was able to solve that issue on my own.

Sadly the web interface still dosen't work, giving me the usual 403 forbidden page

The output of the first command is:

root@pi:/home/ape# grep -r sury /etc/apt/
Binary file /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/php.gpg matches
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/php.list.save:deb https://packages.sury.org/php/ buster main
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/php.list:deb https://packages.sury.org/php/ buster main
root@pi:/home/ape#

Should I remove the file /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/php.gpg?

Output for the php purge command is:

root@pi:/home/ape# apt purge 'php7.4-*' php-intl

@LVTS

Should I remove the file /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/php.gpg ?

You can remove all three matches. The first is the repository key, the third is the actual repository entry, the second looks like a backup file.

0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

Interesting, looks like you already removed it before, as it was clearly installed during pihole -r, however so everything fine about that.
Note to myself: Do not use wildcard glob on apt purge to avoid massive output, better use something like:

apt purge $(dpkg --get-selections | awk '/^php7.4-*/{print $1}')

Did you do apt install php7.3-intl already?

---

Okay 403 response means that the webserver denies access itself, AFAIK. However could you verify that the webroot and admin panel dir is readable:

ls -al /var/www/html{,/admin}

And are there any other Lighttpd configs active?

for i in /etc/lighttpd/conf-enabled/*.conf; do
[[ -f $i ]] || continue
echo $i
cat $i
done

[LVTS]

I have removed all three of the matched files.

It looks as if I must've done apt install php7.3-intl already because apparently the package is already installed:

root@pi:/home/ape# sudo apt install php7.3-intl

Here is the lighthttpd config command:

root@pi:/home/ape# for i in /etc/lighttpd/conf-enabled/*.conf; do

[[ -f $i ]] || continue
echo $i
cat $i
done
/etc/lighttpd/conf-enabled/90-javascript-alias.conf
alias.url += ("/javascript" => "/usr/share/javascript")
root@pi:/home/ape#

[LVTS]

Not sure how relevant this is but I just noticed something with the lighthttpd pi hole interface.

When I go to my servers Local IP Address / admin: http://192.168.0.76/admin/ I get a 403 Forbidden page. But when I go to a directory that does not exist such as http://192.168.0.76/fakedirectory instead I get a 404 Not Found error page. The same happens for individual files such as index.php.

From what I can gather lighthttpd is listening in the correct directory and is able to see if files and directorys exist or not. I have changed the permissions for the WWW folder allowing everyone access but I am still receiving the 403 forbidden message.

UPDATE:

I did a little bit of research and I was able to fix this issue! I am not too sure what the below commands do but they were able to fix the 403 issue, and the statistics seem to work now also!

sudo lighty-enable-mod fastcgi 

sudo lighty-enable-mod fastcgi-php

sudo service lighttpd force-reload

One last problem though... Earlier on we uninstalled the three different versions of PHP that were installed. This has caused my weather application that is running with apache to stop working. When I access the weather application's website I am just greated with the RAW PHP code for the files, not the actual rendered website. How am I able to fix this without running into the same issue of installing multiple PHP versions again?

Thanks!

[MichaIng]

Strange about the solution since this should be covered by the installer: pi-hole/basic-install.sh at 4d25f695267590b61a4061f9bb43448005d99b85 · pi-hole/pi-hole · GitHub
However great that it works now .

About your weather application, is there any reason to not run it behind Lighttpd as well? Seems an overhead to me to run two webservers. However to re-enable PHP (without having multiple versions) for Apache2, do:

apt install libapache2-mod-php7.3
a2enmod php7.3
systemctl restart apache2

[LVTS]

I'm not sure how it worked, but it did!

I would put it behind lighttpd but I am a little more familiar with apache and it is managable using webmin which makes it easier for me.

I am receiving this error message while trying to install PHP though:

I get this message while running the PHP install command:

EDIT: made mistake it needs the newer version of php7.3-common that seems not available from policy.

apt policy libapache2-mod-php7.3

apt depends libapache2-mod-php7.3

?

Here is the output of the first command:

Above makes me believe its not installed.

But above says its installed already.

Try:

sudo a2enmod php7.3

sudo systemctl restart apache2

See if fixed.

I was also confused now, first looks like it's not installed, second tells it's installed. Some apt clean && apt update would have been good after removing Ondrejs repo, I forgot about that. Would have made sense that some newer version was installed from Ondrejs repo but from the last outputs now everything looks as it should.

[deHakkelaar]

Yeah good one.
Clear out apt cache.

Is it really removed ?

sudo grep -v '^\s*#\|^\s*$' -R /etc/apt/sources.list*

However the website says it is currently unable to handle this request - HTTP ERROR 500. Before installing I was just getting the PHP code for the file displayed.

[deHakkelaar]

EDIT: you still have sury repo:

@LVTS

/etc/apt/sources.list.d/php.list.save:deb Index of /php/ buster main

sudo grep sury -R /etc/apt/sources.list*

Hash out # those or remove or you'll have version issues (and run below two to apply).

---

Did you run below two ?

sudo apt clean

sudo apt update

Whats output now when run below (for prosterity):

sudo apt install libapache2-mod-php7.3

@LVTS

HTTP ERROR 500

Check out below:

How to Fix a 500 Internal Server Error

Might see an error live trailing the logs when browsing to that site:

sudo tail -f /var/log/apache2/*.log

Might want to reinstall that software that depends on Apache.

[LVTS]

Thanks for your reply!

It looks like we have finally got everything working, thank you so much for your help.

After removing that sury repo I followed the clean and update commands you kindly provided and uninstalled PHP using the command sudo apt remove libapache2-mod-php7.3. I then installed it with sudo apt install libapache2-mod-php7.3` and the weather website works again. I think there was something with that Sury repo version of PHP that my weather website did not like.

Thanks again!
