Lighttpd daemon is stopped by UID = 0 PID = 1

I'm on Ubuntu 19.04 and just installed the latest pi-hole version.

Lighttpd should be enabled and started. Unfortunately, this is its current state:

● lighttpd.service - Lighttpd Daemon

Running sudo cat /var/log/lighttpd/error.log yields:

2019-06-25 19:26:01: (server.c.1464) server started (lighttpd/1.4.53) 
2019-06-25 19:26:29: (server.c.2059) server stopped by UID = 0 PID = 1

I've read through a bunch of Reddit comments, Github issues, and answers on this site, but none have helped so far.

Thanks for your time!

Have you checked Ubuntu 19.04 update breaks pihole · Issue #2716 · pi-hole/pi-hole · GitHub

That solved it; lighttpd even restarts on reboot by itself.

(FTL, on the other hand, still needs a script containing sudo service pihole-FTL start to run at startup.)

Thank you again!
