Expected Behaviour:
no FTL, no admin (lighhttpd don't start)
Actual Behaviour:
when restarting my R-PI ( volumio) where I installed pi-hole :
FTL don't start
[2017-11-04 09:30:10.098] WARN: Opening of /var/log/pihole.log failed!
[2017-11-04 09:30:10.098] Make sure it exists and is readable by user pihole
Will try again in 15 seconds.
[2017-11-04 09:30:25.104] FATAL: Opening of /var/log/pihole.log failed permanently!
each time device reboot , dnsmasq take ownership of pihole.log and don't allow FTL to start.
I changed HTTP port to 8080 in external.conf to avoid HTTP port conflict
volumio@volumio:~$ ll /etc/lighttpd/external.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 19 Nov 4 09:29 /etc/lighttpd/external.conf
volumio@volumio:~$ cat /etc/lighttpd/external.conf
server.port = 8080
But there is nothing present on port 8080
I think this also could be related to log writing issue because lighthttpd never create /var/log/lighthttp folder

Thank you all for your help , I am aware I try to use my rasberry-pi for 2 things, but one is filtering ads, the other is playing music. The only thing I share in a HTTP server....
After some debuging I noticed that the lighttp server did not start due to a config file issue.
if I add in /etc/lighttpd/ an external.conf contaning :
server.port = 8080
httpd failed to start.
So issue #2 is solved. Now I still don't know how to sort out /var/log files rights at startup.
