Can confirm thats a Beta 5 Failure. Rolled back to 4.4 and that works flawless.

Add Info:
System is DietPi Buster

Pi-hole V5 beta uses a new gravity database that is not present in V4.x. Let's looks at the permissions of the database files in /etc/pihole. What is the output of the following command from the Pi terminal

ls -lha /etc/pihole/*.db

-rw-rw-r-- 1 pihole pihole 294M Mär 2 12:15 /etc/pihole/gravity.db
-rw-r--r-- 1 pihole pihole 2.3M Mär 2 12:08 /etc/pihole/macvendor.db
-rw-r--r-- 1 pihole pihole 196K Mär 2 12:08 /etc/pihole/pihole-FTL.db

Also a Fresh Install wont Work.

It seems i have found the Problem.

Install Pi-Hole via DietPi Launcher = Problem
Install Pi-Hole via SSH Command = It seem working

Adding, Removing etc.. works now under Beta 5.0 and unbound.

Please let DietPi know that. We'd like to have their install method work as well as ours.

Done: DietPi PiHole installer corrupts 5.0 Beta - DietPi
