Pi-Hole Video Question/Error

[TouchOfThorn]

I am trying to set up a Pi-Hole like they did in one of their videos and I cant get past the step where you have to run the command:

curl -sSL https://install.pi-hole.net | bash

It comes back with an error like this: 

 

curl: (6) Could not resolve host: install.pi-hole.net

 

How can i fix this?

can you ping that ip? Can you ping google.com?

That would usually mean there's no internet or the DNS is not working. Maybe substitute the URL part with https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/master/automated install/basic-install.sh ?

Can you ping 8.8.8.8? If you can, your DNS isn't set up correctly.

Try changing back to dhcp and see if ti works then. You probably configured the static ip wrong.

Did the network work before? Try restoring backups or a reinstall.

Ok ill try to reinstall

definately not connected to the internet.

which pi are you using, and which distro are you using? (probably rasbian, but is it full or lite?)

 

like others said, start over from scratch and see where that takes you

You're not connected to the internet. If you need help with that I suggest you make a new topic.

Try a dig google.com @1.1.1.1 then that will indicate if you can actually resolve records out

Otherwise you can update your /etc/resolv.conf to point to a nameserver if you can fix your other connectivity.
