fresh install Pi-hole and DNS Server is not runing
i could go to Pi-hole web page, but shows Lost connection to API
i was only trying to use pi-hole to block ads, and my apologies, i dont have muck knowledge on coding.
Actual Behaviour:
[✗] Starting DNS forwarder and DHCP server: dnsmasq
dnsmasq: extraneous parameter at line 37 of /etc/dnsmasq.d/01-pihole.conf
failed!
pihole-FTL: no process found
You may now configure your devices to use the Pi-hole as their DNS server
[i] Pi-hole DNS (IPv4): 192.168.1.88
If you set a new IP address, please restart the server running the Pi-hole
[i] The install log is located at: /etc/pihole/install.log
Installation Complete!
when i try to start dnsmasq error came back
root@Synology:/# sudo service dnsmasq restart
[FAIL] Restarting DNS forwarder and DHCP server: configuration syntax check failed!
Debug Token:
l7nvgrbutd
i hope this is all info i need to provide, if not please let me know, and i will try to get it update, any help would be appreciated
i have done both way from your post, stil have the same result
root@Synology:/var/www/html/admin# sudo service dnsmasq restart
[FAIL] Restarting DNS forwarder and DHCP server: configuration syntax check failed!
however now on Web UI i can see numbers on Domain on Blocklist, but still indicate (0 clients), when i change DNS on my phone, it has internet access, but not blocking ad on youtube.
