I am unable to update pi-hole. I followed some directions from some of the similar requests for assistance but they did not resolve my problem.
pi-hole should update if an update is available
I receive an error noting that pi-hole could not be updated and to contact support
You are running with nginx and that is not our web server.
Right - I'm running multiple things on my raspberry pi. nginx serves a website. If I use nginx (and not lighthttpd) does that preclude me from being able to update pi-hole?
Please share the full output of the updater so we know exactly what error you are running into.
Note that because we only support lighttpd at the moment, we can not guarantee that the update will work if you change the web server.
Sorry for the delay -

Unable to complete update, please contact Pi-hole Support
The installer failed to install lighttpd, so it quit. That package needs to be install-able for the installer to continue.
Could changing below setting fix the nginx issue ?
pi@noads:~ $ cat /etc/pihole/setupVars.conf
[..]
INSTALL_WEB_SERVER=true
EDIT: most likely apt isn't up to date causing lighttpd install to fail.
sudo apt update
cat /etc/pihole/setupVars.conf
[..]
INSTALL_WEB_SERVER=true
This was very helpful and lead to resolving my issue. I set the following values.
INSTALL_WEB_SERVER=false
LIGHTTPD_ENABLED=false
Thank you!
