From your debug log:

*** [ DIAGNOSING ]: Pi-hole processes
[✗] lighttpd daemon is failed

Check this thread for a potential solution: I can't get Pi-hole to work [Ubuntu 18.04] - #10 by RamSet

Also noted in the debug log - the gravity list is empty. Rebuild gravity with pihole -g from the command line.

*** [ DIAGNOSING ]: Gravity list

   -----head of gravity.list------

   -----tail of gravity.list------

Try sudo /usr/sbin/lighttpd -tt -f /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf

I think you'll find that to be a command not found. Would know more from a debut token.

I apologize for this, would've responded earlier, but discourse blocked me from doing so.

I fixed it by installing gamin, odd it didn't install it in the first place, but ok lol.

Sorry
