I just installed Pi-Hole version 5 over the top of version 4.4 and I cant get the whitelisting to work. On clicking on the whitelist button from the recent queries listing all seems to work, after awaiting a couple a seconds I get the successfully applied. But when going into the whitelisting nothing is showing it remains blank.
When trying to add manually I get this error:
Please provide a debug token by running pihole -d from the command line, or using the tools menu on the web interface (make sure you choose to upload it)
The debug token will be at the end of the ouptut. Thanks!
What is the output of the following command, which will show the file permissions:
ls -lha /etc/pihole/gravity.db
What is the output of
ps aux | grep lighttpd
groups www-data
?
What is the output of the second command?
In this forum, you can copy and paste output directly into a reply. This helps us help you, as we can copy and paste your output as needed for troubleshooting. When you post a screen snap, we can't do that.
Also tried this if it helps at all
I am a bit of a novice at this so my apologies. How do I do that via putty?
It case is already clear, your user www-data is missing membership in group pihole.
Run
sudo usermod -a -G pihole www-data
sudo service lighttpd restart
and try again.
Yes, thank you its now working.....
