Pi-Hole DNS Fails to Start - Solution
Hi Folks,
My system was having issues after the update script finished and piihole-FTL (DNS) would not start. After much research I was pointed to trying the latest init script. That fixed it for me.
It's here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/master/advanced/Templates/pihole-FTL.service
Replace the current one in /etc/init.d/
Run
sudosystemctldaemon-reload sudosystemctldisablepihole-FTL.service sudosystemctlenablepihole-FTL.service sudosytemctlstartpihole-FTL.service
That should get it working again.
You may need to override /etc/resolv.conf initially to reach anywhere external. Restore it after you fix the service.
