Lost connection to api

Help
1

Hi,
I wasn't able to install pihole due to a git issue and I would clean up all my server so I descided to reset it.
After reset to debian buster 64x
I installed pihole
=>

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
curl pihole

Every thing runned fin no problems during the install.
But when I went to the webapi I got the message "lost connection to api"
I searched on Google and so that I'm not the first one who got issues with it but I couldn't find any way to solve the problem until now.

You have another DNS server running on port 53, and this is preventing pihole-FTL from binding to that port.
