I'm not able to whitelist a domain, blacklist a domain, and more from the web gui

Expected Behaviour:

So when I go on the PiHole Admin website, I should be able to whitelist a domain, blacklist a domain, and more right?

Actual Behaviour:

Instead, it gives me an error when I attempt to whitelist a domain, blacklist a domain, even regex filters. This happened when I just finished setting up my PiHole, before I put in a bunch of scripts to try to block YouTube ads.

Debug Token:

What is the error about?

I don't know. It just says

Error, something went wrong!

You are running Apache2 as the web server. This is an unsupported configuration. But, here in Community Help other users can help you make this work. Or, you can use the supported lighttpd web server

[80] is in use by apache2 (https://discourse.pi-hole.net/t/hardware-software-requirements/273#ports)

Oh. I remembered I last used my raspberry pi as a web server. I'll try turning off apache2.

Okay. So I stopped apache2, now how do I setup lighttpd?

Alright, so I got it back up and working normal! Thanks jfb for pointing out the detail about apache2.
