Thanks for your reply - this motivated me, to run a complete apt-get remove and install pilight 8.0.4 from scratch (no upgrade!):

You are right, the

Code:

sudo apt-get remove pilight

does not work properly (same for pilight-dbg) (I already faced this issue, but did not want to add this to my initial post).
What you can do before running the "apt-get remove", is to add "exit 0" just before the last "fi" in /var/lib/dpkg/info/pilight.postrm or pilight-dbg.postrm

Code:

#!/bin/bash

if [[ $1 == "purge" ]]; then

       test -d /etc/pilight && rm -r /etc/pilight 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null || true;

       find /usr/local/lib -name '*pilight*' -exec rm -r {} \; 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null;

       test -d /usr/local/pilight && rm -r /usr/local/pilight || true 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null;

fi

if [[ $1 == "remove" ]]; then

       test -f /etc/init.d/pilight && rm /etc/init.d/pilight;
       test -f /etc/init.d/pilight.sh && rm /etc/init.d/pilight.sh;
       test -f /etc/systemd/system/pilight.service && rm /etc/systemd/system/pilight.service;
       test -f /etc/init/pilight.conf && rm /etc/init/pilight.conf;
       exit 0 #<-----
fi

Clean remove and install:

• edit pilight.postrm
  
• sudo apt-get remove pilight pilight-webgui
  
• sudo apt-get autoremove
  
• sudo apt-get install pilight
  

the only change I had to do to my config.json was to replace

Code:

"webserver-root": "/usr/local/share/pilight/",

with

Code:

"webserver-root": "/usr/local/share/pilight/webgui",

in the "settings"-section.

After this procedure everything works fine (even with pilight v8.04)!!!

So I guess, I also had some issues with not clean removal ...
