Web Interface not showing any queries

Please follow the below template, it will help us to help you!

Expected Behaviour:

Actual Behaviour:

the pihole web interface is not showing any queries even though it is blocking contents just fine. the log files are empty in /var/log

Debug Token:

Use netcat.

Is that the exact output?

yes that’s the one. i have tried reinstalling and reconfiguring but nothing seems to work.

I mean, is that the whole output from pihole -d?

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.

sorry for the late reply.
it seems my /var/log directory was full due to syslog logging some recurring error. fixed it up, cleaned the backup files and now everything is running fine. thanks.
