Could not access admin panel, no error message

The issue I am facing:
Could not access the admin panel

Details about my system:
Debian 11 using Openmediavault Version 6.
Fritzbox Router cable 6690
first pihole ip 192.168.1.15 (this one works like a charm)
second ip 192.168.1.30 (this one has no admin access, but pihole -c works)
both with OMV 6

What I have changed since installing Pi-hole:
I tried pihole -r w/o success, than pihole uninstall and reinstalled it via curl -sSL https://install.pi-hole.net | bash

The debug log pihole -d looks fine to so far, I am missing an error message and would appreciate to be pointed in the right direction.

The debug token is: https://tricorder.pi-hole.net/HHGyTTYu/

This is expected.
You have installed Pi-hole without the web server (lighttpd) and without the web interface (admin panel):

*** [ DIAGNOSING ]: lighttpd version
[✗] lighttpd version could not be detected.

and:

*** [ DIAGNOSING ]: Setup variables
    ...
    INSTALL_WEB_SERVER=false
    INSTALL_WEB_INTERFACE=false

OK, you are right. I initiated pihole -r again and selected the lighttp web server and the web interface. The debug log of pihole -d did not change. Lighttpd is installed. systemctl status lighttpd -> is active.

The debug token is: https://tricorder.pi-hole.net/bM7Bj5NP/

I read both logs again.
Actually, lighttpd is running and using port 80 (it was running on the previous debug log, too).

[✓] tcp:0.0.0.0:80 is in use by lighttpd

But both logs show the web interface is disabled:

*** [ DIAGNOSING ]: Web version
[i] Web: Disabled in setupVars.conf via INSTALL_WEB_INTERFACE=false

What is the output of ls -la /var/www/html/admin ?

OK - I assume that it is not a pihole configuration point, rather than an nginx configuration issue.
To verify it I run:

pihole uninstall

sudo rm -rf /etc/.pihole /etc/pihole /opt/pihole /usr/bin/pihole-FTL /usr/local/bin/pihole /var/www/html/admin

curl -sSL https://install.pi-hole.net | bash

So far - still no access to the WEB interface using lighttp.

The solution was to reconfigure nginx according to the openmediavault salt environment.

sudo omv-salt stage run deploy

reconfigured nginx and I am able to access the WEB interface via lighttp.

Thank you very much for your help, as you directed me to the point excluding the pihole configuration during troubleshooting.
