Sorry there was no activity on this for a while. What system are you running Pi-hole on?

[danielmarschall]

Hello,

I have the latest stable Bananian with all updates installed.

[09:09]root@bananapi:~$ uname -a
Linux bananapi 3.4.113-bananian #8 SMP PREEMPT Sat Nov 26 00:48:28 UTC 2016 armv7l GNU/Linux

Bananian is not a supported OS, but it seems systemd is not functioning or installed...We'll still try our best to help out. Run another pihole -d, too.

Also, what is the output of which systemctl?

[danielmarschall]

Hello,

thank you for your answer. Beside of this small issue, pihole works fine on my Bananian. If I can help to make everything compatible, I'd love to help.

Indeed, systemctl is not installed.

The command "systemctl is-active " could be replaced by "service status".

But "service pihole-FTL status" doesn't work, because the function "status()" is missing. It should be implemented, querying a pid file or something, like /etc/init.d/dnsmasq does it for example.

Does Bananian use systemd? If so, then install systemctl
