Web-Admin still shows that there is an update available

Help

I've updated my pi-hole, but the Web-Admin still shows that there is an update available:

Console
::: Pi-hole version is v3.0 (Latest version is v3.0)
::: Web-Admin version is v3.0 (Latest version is v3.0)

WebApp
Pi-hole Version v3.0 Web Interface Version v2.3.1(Update available!)

I've already tried to reboot the pi and to pihole -r, but it changes nothing

Is it the same with all browsers?
Have you tried flushing your browser cache?

3

I can't reproduce the issue. Tested with chrome and Firefox

4

I did cleared the cache of my browser. I tried it with chrome on my PC and chrome from my phone.

I also tried to repair pihole with pihole -r

5

I did recall that update failed at first when it was stating a service. But I did not save that log. Is it possible to retrieve that log?

6

Check /etc/pihole/install.log. Run pihole -d for a debug token.

7

My debug token is: o5jaltcf8e

8

Install.log shows only the repair log, not the failed update

9

Can this be the problem?

cat /etc/pihole/install.log

Found the problem. I needed to go to http:/[my_ip]/html/admin.

That isn't a URL that should work. You should be able to one of these to access the dashboard:

What's the output of these commands?

ls -l /var/www/html/
ls -l /var/www/html/admin

I did a

pihole uninstall

and a

curl -sSL https://install.pi-hole.net | bash

but now the DNS doesn't work at all any more

14

What OS are you running? DietPi?

15

I'm running Raspbian

16

Ah, I see now from the debugger that this is Raspbian Wheezy. It's not one of our supported OSes as it has been superseded by Rasbian Jessie and all official support for Wheezy was terminated a while ago (End of Life). We rely on the systemd init system, and that's not available in Wheezy.

Are you able to migrate or install Jessie instead?
