Your debug log shows a repeated error regarding the database:

-----head of pihole-FTL.log------
   [2020-02-01 21:17:23.011 686] domain_in_list(configuration.ls.apple.com): Gravity database not available
   [2020-02-01 21:17:23.011 686] domain_in_list(configuration.ls.apple.com): Gravity database not available
   [2020-02-01 21:17:23.011 686] domain_in_list(configuration.ls.apple.com): Gravity database not available

What is the output of the following command from the Pi terminal:

ls -lha /etc/pihole/*.db

Taking another look at your debug log, you aren't fully on 5.0 beta. Your core version is on 4.3.x master. Run pihole checkout core release/v5.0 to get that portion of Pi-Hole on the 5.0 beta.
