I've recently upgraded to the latest and greatest, services started up fine, however, the admin interface is not accessible. Checking on the lighttpd service, it shows to be running:
[root@comp log]# systemctl status lighttpd

Moreover, attempting to restart does NOT allow me to do so. In response, I've tried the resolution on this post, to no avail:
Stumped.
What content or error message do you see in your browser when you go to the admin page? And what URL are you typing in your browser to visit?

@bcambl Is this a CentOS related issue?
Using Firefox 65, I see a generic "unable to connect" https://i.imgur.com/RsUM9lW.png
I am using: hostname:custom-port/admin
any thoughts or suggestions? tried updating, noticed FTL was out of date, updated fine except for this message:
[i] Warning: 'lighty-enable-mod' utility not found
Please ensure fastcgi is enabled if you experience issues
Still unable to connect to the admin/web interface.
What specific URL have you previously been using to connect to your admin GUI? Custom port was what?
Also, please upload a new debug log and post the token as your previous token has expired.
previous URL: http://mideel:6045/admin
Debug token: lobgqz4ko3
Your lighttpd version may be newer than the versions used in Debian stable, thus the error message here:
2019-02-07 08:11:54: (response.c.400) uri-path does not begin with '/': pihole/index.php -> 400
Try editing this line in /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf:
server.error-handler-404 = "pihole/index.php"
to be this:
server.error-handler-404 = "/pihole/index.php"

Thanks, that fixed the issue for me. I had also done an update to my Pi as well at the same time I updated pihole. There was no need to restart lighthttpd after editing the file.
Thanks @Mcat12, tried that, however I still cannot access the front end. Are there any other changes, such as service restarts I should try? I've tried rebooting with no change.
Fixed my issue. Turns out the update overwrites the admin interface port and sets to the default of '80'. changed this back to my custom port and voila! Thanks for the help!
For reference, I changed this line within /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf:
from:
server.port = 80
To:
server.port = 6045
Issue command: "service lighttpd restart", profit.
