Admin Console should be reachable with "pi.hole" or the ip adress of the raspberry.
Admin Console is not reachable, lighttpd is not starting. OS is dietpi.

Any ideas? Tried some things from the other "admin console not working" threads, but nothing helps.
Well then, lets see why lighttpd is not starting.
What's the output of sudo systemctl status lighttpd ?
Hi,
thanks for your reply. The output is:

Can you try manually starting it with sudo systemctl start lighttpd ?
See if the sudo systemctl status lighttpd says anything different after that.
Seems to be the same:
sudo systemctl start lighttpd
Job for lighttpd.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status lighttpd.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
sudo systemctl status lighttpd

Try running a pihole -r as the lighttpd error is very generic and does not point to a specific (underlying) reason.
Tried to repair the installation with pihole -r, but it's aborting and the point where it restarts lighttpd:

Error is the same. That's very weird.
