I install Pi-hole 4.0 in a new virtual machine(centos 7). Everything is fine except the webadmin page. After all day search in this topic I almost give up. I cant't understand what is wrong.  
(I create a lot of vm and install everything from 0 to 100....but the result was the same)

After I run pihole -d I see some problem.:

\*\*\* [DIAGNOSING]: Pi-hole processes  
[✗] dnsmasq daemon is unknown  
[✗] lighttpd daemon is failed  
[✓] pihole-FTL daemon is active

\*\*\* [DIAGNOSING]: Dashboard and block page  
[✗] Block page X-Header: X-Header does not match or could not be retrieved.

[✗] Web interface X-Header: X-Header does not match or could not be retrieved.

Can anybody help me about that?

I have Debug Token: k6xfqdx61n

lighttpd has failed to start. What is the output of `sudo service lighttpd status -l`?

This is the output:

But, the line 94 is the last row of the config file. It is a blank row.

This is an error in lighttpd 1.4.50's config parsing, which can be fixed by running `sudo touch /etc/lighttpd/external.conf`
