Raspberry Pi B+ Help with installing

I'm completely new to raspberry pi & I just installed Pi-hole & it says in the web interface "lost connection to API"

This process collects information from your Pi-hole, and optionally uploads it to a unique and random directory on tricorder.pi-hole.net.

The intent of this script is to allow users to self-diagnose their installations. This is accomplished by running tests against our software and providing the user with links to FAQ articles when a problem is detected. Since we are a small team and Pi-hole has been growing steadily, it is our hope that this will help us spend more time on development.

NOTE: All log files auto-delete after 48 hours and ONLY the Pi-hole developers can access your data via the given token. We have taken these extra steps to secure your data and will work to further reduce any personal information gathered.

^ Please note that you may have more than one IP address listed.
As long as one of them is green, and it matches what is in /etc/pihole/setupVars.conf, there is no need for concern.

The link to the FAQ is for an issue that sometimes occurs when the IPv6 address changes, which is why we check for it.

Typically β€œnamed” is BIND9. Find that process on your Pi - these commands may be helpful:

sudo netstat -nltup | grep 'Proto\|:53 \|:67 \|:80 \|:471'

sudo lsof -i :53

kill the process on port 53, then restart pihole-FTL with this command:

sudo service pihole-FTL restart

It still shows that FTL is offline here's the latest log

This process collects information from your Pi-hole, and optionally uploads it to a unique and random directory on tricorder.pi-hole.net.

The intent of this script is to allow users to self-diagnose their installations. This is accomplished by running tests against our software and providing the user with links to FAQ articles when a problem is detected. Since we are a small team and Pi-hole has been growing steadily, it is our hope that this will help us spend more time on development.

NOTE: All log files auto-delete after 48 hours and ONLY the Pi-hole developers can access your data via the given token. We have taken these extra steps to secure your data and will work to further reduce any personal information gathered.

The named process thats conflicting with Pi-hole is part of the bind9 software package thats installed on your system for some reason:

pi@ph5:~ $ apt-file list bind9
[..]
bind9: /usr/sbin/named
[..]

You have three options:

  1. Disable bind9 from starting at boot:
    sudo systemctl disable bind9

  2. Or mask it:
    sudo systemctl mask bind9

  3. Or remove/uninstall it entirely from your system:
    sudo apt purge bind9
