I installed Pihole in the Windows 10 Debian App using WSL1.
Everything is working except in the web admin page after logging in the Enable option appears even though pihole is enabled and filtering.
These are the errors from lighttpd error.log:
2021-01-01 13:36:54: (mod_fastcgi.c.421) FastCGI-stderr: PHP Notice: Undefined variable: viewPort in /var/www/html/pihole/index.php on line 73
2021-01-01 13:36:54: (mod_fastcgi.c.421) FastCGI-stderr: PHP Notice: Undefined variable: serverName in /var/www/html/pihole/index.php on line 74
To start pihole I launch the Debian App and run these commands:
sudo /etc/init.d/cron start
sudo /etc/init.d/networking start
sudo /etc/init.d/dhcpcd start
sudo /etc/init.d/lighttpd start
sudo pihole restartdns
Update lists
sudo pihole -g
Uploaded debug log:
https://tricorder.pi-hole.net/izaoq9355v
I tried going to domains on the blocked list and the sites are not found and the entries appear on the query list as blocked.
When running sudo pihole -g this message appears:
DNS service is NOT listening
What service is this referring to?
I also tried WSL2 it does not work at all in this manner but does work in Docker.
The reason I tried this setup is because running pihole under Docker ~90% of the system memory is used where as this approach the system memory total usage is ~60%.
