nextcloud PiHole web admin pages - conflict Topic is solved

I had an error during restart of service.

root@DietPi:~# cd /etc/lighttpd/conf-enabled/
root@DietPi:/etc/lighttpd/conf-enabled# ln -s ../conf-available/99-dietpi-pihole .conf 99-dietpi-pihole.conf
root@DietPi:/etc/lighttpd/conf-enabled# systemctl restart lighttpd.service

and now, even after reboot, I cant access web interface for PiHole and for NextCloud too, so nothing is working now.

well if your web server is not working, your web apps are not reachable of course. Let's try to get the web server back before fixing PiHole.

Code: Select all

cat /var/log/lighttpd/error.log

[selih34]

This command CAT is not showing anything, so I booted LXDE and access the var/log/lighttpd. But error log is empty file. I cannot attached it because attachment on forum says its too large. its 0KB... ???????

[Joulinar]

well, it doesn't make sense to attach an empty file

let's check configuration. This will be a test only

Code: Select all

/usr/sbin/lighttpd -tt -f /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf

[selih34]

your system is quite strange. It's far away from DietPi standards. Do you install PiHole as well as NextCloud from dietpi-software catalogue?

Code: Select all

ls -la /etc/lighttpd/conf-available
ls -la /etc/lighttpd/conf-enabled

[selih34]

I found tutorial for installing PiHole with DietPi but with curl command. curl -sSL https://install.pi-hole.net | bash
Everything after that I installed through dietpi.

OK now we know the root cause for all your issues. You should have used dietpi-software to install PiHole. Next time, pls do it that way. that causes less headache.

Let's try to fix it.

Code: Select all

curl -sSfL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichaIng/DietPi/master/.conf/dps_93/lighttpd.pihole.conf -o /etc/lighttpd/conf-available/99-dietpi-pihole.conf
cd /var/www
ln -s html/pihole pihole
ln -s html/admin admin
systemctl restart lighttpd.service

if it's still giving error during web server start, try to test configuration again

Code: Select all

/usr/sbin/lighttpd -tt -f /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf

[selih34]

Its ok now.

PiHole, NextCloud, UrBackup, MotionEye I can access through IP address.

I am sorry for wasting your time, but I just got THE wrong youtube tutorial video.

So to sum up if I install over official dietpi program all the apps this wont happen.
I am asking so I can make changes for my messed up totorial(for myself).

Really really thank you for helping me, and for not wasting time for reinstallation(it would be my 3rd one).

[Joulinar]

Yes, pls try using dietpi-software if possible. This will ensure most compatibility between all the apps offered. As well it's much easier/faster using dietpi-software instead of watching (probably outdated) YouTube tutorial
