Your debug log shows another DNS process already running on port 53, so pihole-FTL cannot bind to that port.

*** [ DIAGNOSING ]: Ports in use
[53] is in use by connmand (https://discourse.pi-hole.net/t/hardware-software-requirements/273#ports)
[53] is in use by connmand (https://discourse.pi-hole.net/t/hardware-software-requirements/273#ports)

You are running an unsupported OS as well. Updating to a supported version (I.e. Stretch or Buster) should resolve this problem.

*** [ DIAGNOSING ]: Operating system
[✓] Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie)

Conman is acting as a DNS proxy conflicting with the pihole-FTL binary.
Checkout the "--nodnsproxy" directive on the man page:

http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/man8/connman.8.html

I believe Jessie still uses System-V to manage services/daemons.
Look for a connmand Bash script in below folder:

/etc/init.d/

Edit the script file manually and add that "--nodnsproxy" argument to the line with the connmand executable (which connmand).

Restart conmand:

sudo service <CONNMAND_SCRIPT_NAME> restart

Or

sudo /etc/init.d/<CONNMAND_SCRIPT_NAME> restart

Restart Pi-hole:

sudo service pihole-FTL restart

Or:

sudo /etc/init.d/pihole-FTL restart

And check ports used by Pi-hole:

sudo netstat -nltup | grep 'Proto\|:53 \|:67 \|:80 \|:471[1-8] '

Note that Jessie is no longer supported either by Raspbian or by Pi-hole.
