Can't access web dashboard, sometimes can't access sites
I'm really new to setting this up and I tried following guides and instructions carefully but I'm not sure it's working properly
Hi, looks like there's some issues, pihole-FTL and lighttpd are both not functioning. First we can get the web interface up and look at the other issues next.
Can you post the output from sudo systemctl status --full --no-pager lighttpd.service? Hopefully this catches the error that is causing it to not start.

Try sudo apt install gamin and then sudo systemctl restart lighttpd and pihole restartdns
Looks like a lighttpd dependency is missing (gamin).
Thanks! This is the result:
$ sudo apt install gamin

what's the output of sudo cat /var/log/lighttpd/error.log ?
I ran both of those and here's the output of sudo cat /var/log/lighttpd/error.log:
kristie@Roger-HPDesktop:~$ sudo cat /var/log/lighttpd/error.log

run a pihole -r and repair.
See if you can access the interface after that.
