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.

@tholinka - It's probably an incorrectly configured web server. Recommend you uninstall that piece, reinstall it, and review the wiki for setup.

Hello, sorry if this has been posted before, but my google-fu is failing me.

I've been using this (and -ftl) fine for several months now, but then a couple weeks ago the graphs on the admin page quit loading. They sit spinning forever now (https://i.imgur.com/vsgDyel.png).

Any advice on how to fix this?

I tried removing / reinstalling the packages to no avail.

@gecko - we need log of FTL systemd service status when fail and errors about installing packages. Is it a file conflict before installing it or is an error post install running *.install script?

for me, the only pihole directory in /var is: /var/cache/lighttpd/compress/pihole and it's about admin gui web server.

@ max.bra Hi Max, thanks for your reply. What information can I give that would be more useful? I’d be happy to run some tests but I’d have to reinstall the package as I removed it. But I have never touched the curl command from the pi-hole site. This is a brand new installation of Arch Linux Arm on an R-Pi 3B+, using the aarch64 architecture, that I only installed last weekend. It was the first time I’d installed pi-hole on this machine (guess that also answers your question @graysky).

It’s interesting though, becuase there were certainly entries in my /var directory that are to do with pihole. I have already removed the package now and the directories have gone with it. But there was a pihole directory in /var/log that was owned by http, not the pihole user. So I thought that that might be part of the problem. I tried changing it but it made no difference.

--- edit

You know, I think I’ve gotten confused between pi-hole and pi-hole-ftl. I believe the problems I have been expereincing have been with FTL, not with pi-hole server itself. As, although the systemd pi-hole-ftl service was failing to start, I was able to resolve DNS using the server still. I think I got too caught up in the web interface not working (it was stuck on continuously loading) and thought that the whole thing was broken. I may reinstall the package and just use it from the CL.

--- edit

Also, I didn’t debug by using the pihole debug command, but by installing and using gdb. I was adapting the debian based instructions listed here: https://github.com/pi-hole/FTL

@gecko - I have an ODROID-C2 running Arch ARM (aarch64) that runs pihole for me using these packages. Does your setup have something special you configured? These work out-of-the-box for me (aarch64 lxc).

@gecko hi gecko, unfortunately with the informations available I can not help. this package do not use /var directory at all for nothing. it is highly probable that you have also performed an official installation with curl from the pi-hole site. clean EVERYTHING thoroughly, install only the packages for arch and we'll talk about it again.

and more: this package has debug run disabled/not available/deleted

port 4711 has nothing to do with us

gecko commented on 2018-05-24 20:54 (UTC)

I can't run pi-hole-server from this package on my aarch64 installation. The systemd pi-hole-ftl service fails to start. Running pi-hole in debug mode, and I think it can't bind to the 4711 port. But more than that, I believe this package is not doing the correct permissions on /var/run/pihole. Either way, I can't run a new installation of pihole at all with this package :(

@tsago - All members of base-devel are implied deps for all AUR packages[1].

Hi crobe2,

Already discussed on e.g. 2017-08-02 in here. Please spend a few moments to check older comments next time. => https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Prerequisites

(and if the link is not obvious enough, note that sudo belongs to base-devel)
