Cannot open the web interface, pihole is working

Help
1

Expected Behaviour:

I should be able to open the web interface with pi.hole/admin or ip/admin

Actual Behaviour:

I can't open the web interface. I can't ping pi.hole. The lighttpd is not running. I tried [service lighttpd start] and it says "Starting web server: lighttpd" but when i check [service lighttpd status] again it says "lighttpd is not running .. failed!" I tried restarting.
When I check pihole status
DNS is running & pi-hole blocking is enabled.
other than that, I don't know why. It's my 1st time getting into pi-hole.

Debug Token:

EDIT
Forgot to mention
I think there's something to do with the installation process. During the process, it skipped to confirm the web interface portion. Didn't show me that and the installation is finished.
I tried x2,x3 times but that portion is always skipped. maybe it has something to do with it?

what's the output of sudo service lighttpd status ?

3

it's still "not running.. failed".
I tried "sudo service lightppd start". But it only says it. Did not actually start. I tried "sudo service lightppd restart" too. still no result.

can you post here the full output ?

I don't know how to do it. But its like this..

root@orangepi:~# sudo service lighttpd status
[FAIL] lighttpd is not running ... failed!
root@orangepi:~#

*** [ DIAGNOSING ]: Operating system
[✓] Raspbian GNU/Linux 7 (wheezy)

This version of Raspbian is End of Life and no longer supported with the Pi-hole.

You would have to update to a newer (Stretch - Latest) version.

Okay I think that might be it. I'm booting it on my orange pi one. Do you have any recommendation for newer version of image with graphical interface?
On the orangepi.org, there's no image for "orange pi one". And all other seems pretty outdated.

Not sure about orangepi but stretch should install/work on your device.

Research first and see if there are any problems reported, from other users.

Official RASPBIAN STRETCH WITH DESKTOP image can be downloaded from here
