Hello Stefan!

This comes from /etc/cron.daily/popularity-contest:
# try to post the report through http POST
if [ "$SUBMITURLS" ] && [ "yes" = "$USEHTTP" ]; then
    for URL in $SUBMITURLS ; do
        if setsid /usr/share/popularity-contest/popcon-upload \
            -u $URL -f $POPCON 2>/dev/null ; then
                SUBMITTED=yes
        else
                logger -t popularity-contest "unable to submit report to
$URL."
        fi
    done
fi

/usr/share/popularity-contest/popcon-upload has an option -d for
debugging that you could try.


I added the -d to get some more debug.

But what I got is not really helpfull. I got an email from cron:

From: root@pihole.xxx.fr (Cron Daemon)
To: root@pihole.xxx.fr
Subject: Cron <root@PiHole> test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily )
Date: Thu, 29 Aug 2019 06:25:15 +0200

/etc/cron.daily/popularity-contest:
Failed to upload, answer ''



And in /var/log/messages I have the classic:
Aug 29 06:25:15 PiHole popularity-contest: unable to submit report to http://popcon.debian.org/cgi-bin/popcon.cgi.
Aug 29 06:25:15 PiHole popularity-contest: unable to submit report


I am using Debian stable (buster) with popularity-contest 1.67

Bye
