I looked at this guide before, and I tried it again just to be sure:Here's a step-by-step walkthrough to create a basic captive portal splash page. The only requirement is a wireless interface (for example, wlan0) hosting an AP. You can use nmcli, RaspAP or whatever you prefer for the latter.I'm running the full version with a desktop environment (32 bit debian bookworm with raspberry pi desktop). From what I read, NetworkManager cannot create a captive portal. The only thing I need is to show a captive portal page on another device. It does not matter what is on the captive portal page - it can even be a blank page. Thanks for the pointer though!
1. I completely re-imaged my raspberry pi (now 32 bit debian bookworm without a desktop environment), and
2. I reinstalled raspAP.
3. After finishing the installer (picked all default settings), there was no prompt to restart, so I restarted manually.
4. Upon restarting, there were errors starting up hostapd.service. (in

What am I doing wrong?
