Cannot install error, lighttpd might cause problems

Expected Behaviour:
Hi there! I am trying to install pi-hole on a debian server but cant seem to get it going continusly just ending mid install.

Actual Behaviour:
not installing or run

Debug Token:
9uvzbqdj1k

Let's reset the nameserver for the Pi and then repair:

sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf

edit nameserver 127.0.0.1 to nameserver 9.9.9.9 or your preferred third party DNS service, save and exit

Run pihole -r and select repair.

did not work :confused:
Here is the config file:

# Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)

#     DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN
nameserver fe80::ea94:f6ff:fee2:e7fc%enp3s0
nameserver 9.9.9.9
search lan

What did not work? Were you not able to complete a repair? If so, what was the output of the repair command?

Ends with this

[✓] man pages installed and database updated
[i] Testing if systemd-resolved is enabled
[i] Systemd-resolved does not need to be restarted

What are the outputs of the following:

sudo netstat -nltup | grep 'Proto\|:53 \|:67 \|:80 \|:471'

Have you modified /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf? Also, the output you shared cuts off some lines, please share the full lines.
