php-fpm (8) behind nginx prevents access to the /etc/ directory entirely even when the web interface uses the pihole command line script!
My solution was to move /etc/pihole to /home/pihole and then create a symlink back to /etc/pihole.
Everything seems to be working from the web ui now.
@all DNS servers settings page error: seems to be a PHP8 issue, if you need it and you can, please use PHP7
@max.bra that was quick, grazie!
@fl4co
1) if you need to set dns options via web interface you should
2) (unrelated note) thanks for reporting, try now.
@max.bra yes, I'm ipv4 only. Looks like if I edited the php file the error would go away, but should I?
On an unrelated note, on two pi-holes I found out that if I disabled query logging via the web interface on the settings page, it's impossible to turn logging on again because the button doesn't turn into "enable query loging", as it does on the upstream pi-hole instead.
@canton7 yes, already done elsewhere (see https://github.com/max72bra/pi-hole-server-archlinux-customization/blob/master/patchgen#L214). thanks for reporting, i'm adding that script...
@fl4co php8 here and no problem. are you in a pure ipv4 scenario? (see https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pi-hole-ftl/)
I'm not sure where the responsibility for this issue lies, but I had problems with setting BLOCKINGMODE=IP-NODATA-AAAA.
The issue turned out to be that /srv/http/pihole/admin/scripts/pi-hole/php/queryads.php was trying to run sudo pihole ..., but /etc/sudoers.d/pihole only allowed accesss for /usr/bin/pihole, and not for a bare pihole.
I'm not sure what the best resolution here is: pihole.sudo from https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/blob/master/advanced/Templates/pihole.sudo doesn't seem to contain any lines at all, so I'm not sure who's setting that up. Perhaps a patch on queryads.php to change the path to /usr/bin/pihole is the way to go?
Thanks!
Is it working with PHP 8? I'm seeing error messages on the web interface when changing upstream DNS servers.

ArchLinux Pi-hole is not officially supported by Pi-hole project. In case of bugs and malfunctions please DO NOT file a report upstream.
First of all check if the wiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pi-hole) can help then ask here for assistance and tips.
When it will be excluded that the problem does not depend on ArchLinux we will file a bug upstream.
