I got the same issue heer.
Running Ubuntu 18.4
Dansmarathon unaniem to open port. On x.x.x.x address already in Use.
Bind is NOT installed

You mean you modified /etc/resolv.conf with nameserver 8.8.8.8 right ?
Can you post full output of the pihole -r output ?
Keep in mind, I believe resolv.conf gets modified back every time you run pihole -r or pihole -up.

Better create you own thread as your issue seems different.
Chances are you have another DNS daemon running on ports 53 TCP/UDP, not pihole-FTL:

Thanks for the heads up., but my issue WAS the same.
Autocorrect has been over active!

I got Dns running now! And the adds are blocked! So the primary goal is reached.

I removed the # before dns=5353 in /etc/dnsmasq.conf

But yes there is a catch. The counters in the admin page remain zero.

I will keep searching

Sorry I thought I deleted this topic, but since it's still here.

Yes, that's correct.

Unfortunately, to get this resolved, I wound up reimaging the pi. A new installation of 4.0 is now working.

It does not from what I could see trying pihole -r multiple times.
