### <a name="custom"></a>My custom rc.local/networking configuration/wpa configuration is gone!
Currently, RaspAP generates a few of its own files so that it starts with a known configuration. Your custom configurations haven't been lost however, they've been moved to the backups directory in `/etc/raspap/backups`.

### <a name="pizero"></a>AP is not visible or can't connect to SSID with the Pi Zero
Extra steps are needed to configure the Pi Zero that are not provided by the RaspAP Quick Installer or manual setup instructions. [@hallard](https://github.com/hallard) has [documented the process](https://github.com/ch2i/LoraGW-Setup/blob/master/doc/AccessPoint.md) with Raspbian Stretch.
### <a name="pihole"></a>How do I integrate RaspAP with Pi-hole?
[Pi-hole®](https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole) is a popular RPi-based project that blocks ads network-wide by creating a DNS sinkhole. There have been several discussions around integrating RaspAP with Pi-hole, with the end goal of hosting a complete AP and ad-blocker on a single device. This is possible with a few modifications, essentially giving permission to Pi-Hole to manage `dnsmasq` leases.
Follow these steps in the order below:
1. Install RaspAP
2. Install Pi-Hole
3. `sudo touch /var/lib/misc/dnsmasq.leases`
4. `sudo chown pihole:pihole /var/lib/misc/dnsmasq.leases`
4. Reboot manually or `sudo reboot`
