Pi-hole Web Interface unavailable, Error 503

kaptain_zero · Post by **kaptain_zero** » Wed Jul 03, 2019 11:27 pm

I ran across this topic when I initially had a problem with accessing the webgui after an update. To this date, I have yet to regain access to the webui for pihole. None of the fixes/workarounds in this thread have helped. I'm using Dietpi on an Odroid C2.

Is this a problem unique to me, or is it widespread?

Regards

Christian

@kaptain_zero
Which webserver do you use? Assuming Lighttpd (default), could you paste:

Code: Select all

journalctl -u lighttpd
journalctl -u php7.3-fpm

@MichaIng
journalctl -u lighttpd identified the issue.... the Daemon was not running, nor would it start.

I uninstalled and re-installed LLSP and all is back to normal. Thank you for the help!

Regards

Hi,

I've done the same (Uninstall/Install LLSP) since I can't access my admin interface anymore BUT, I still have the problem and this error :

Someone has an other idea ?

Hi,

your web server is not starting anymore as you are missing lighttpd configuration file /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf

Code: Select all

opening configfile  /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf failed: No such file or directory

pls can you post ls -la /etc/lighttpd/
