New install on Debian shows the admin page source, site not usable

Expected Behaviour:

When visiting the admin page, I expect to see the web elements instead of the page source. I cannot manage pihole from the website, I get the page source instead of the page rendered. pihole running on Debian 10, 4.19.171-2, x64, virtual machine running on Hyper-V on Windows 10 machine. No customizations in the installation, new install today with the Debian iso, system and all packages up-to-date.

Actual Behaviour:

When visiting the page, I get the page source displayed.

Debug Token:

https://tricorder.pi-hole.net/z68p8qosnb

Pi-hole's supported web server is lighttpd.

Your debug log shows lighttpd to be inactive, and you're using Apache instead:

*** [ DIAGNOSING ]: Ports in use
[80] is in use by apache2 (https://docs.pi-hole.net/main/prerequisites/#ports)

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

You should consider to consult the guide that you used to setup Apache for Pi-hole while waiting for a user with a working Apache configuration passing by to help you, or you could use the forum's search feature to look for existing similar topics. :wink:

Thank you, I just ran the script to install on a fresh Debian. I didn't choose Apache2 to be honest :slight_smile: I'll try and find how to install lighhttpd and make pihole use that.
