Hello fellow tinkerers,

Struggled some time to get pihole working. In the browser, got constant JSON messages:

DataTables warning: table id=groupsTable - Invalid JSON response. For more information about this error, please see http://datatables.net/tn/1

Reset to default

In my case, it turned out to be an easy fix.

apt install php-sqlite3 
a2enmod proxy_fcgi setenvif 
a2enconf php7.3-fpm 
systemctl restart apache2

I am running Buster on PHP 7.3. on a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B Rev 1.

Since I am running Apache in stead of default lightpd I also needed to add www-data to the pihole group, else you get the 'SQLite readonly database' error

more /etc/group | grep hole 
pihole:x:995:www-data
    
more /etc/gshadow | grep hole 
pihole:!::www-data

Hope this helps others too.
