No web interface available refused to connect

Please follow the below template, it will help us to help you!

If you are Experiencing issues with a Pi-hole install that has non-standard elements (e.g you are using nginx instead of lighttpd, or there is some other aspect of your install that is customised) - please use the Community Help category.

Expected Behaviour:

Visiting the http://ipaddressofpihole/admin should display a admin interface when accessing from within the network OR 127.0.0.1/admin on localhost

Actual Behaviour:

I get an ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED even when on the localhost.

Debug Token:

https://tricorder.pi-hole.net/fnmsz8zgil

Note:

This is being ran on a Jetson Nano, no errors during install and I'm able to connect and use as a DNS source just fine.

Seems Pi-hole's web server lighttpd is not running:

*** [ DIAGNOSING ]: lighttpd version
[✗] lighttpd version could not be detected.

*** [ DIAGNOSING ]: Pi-hole processes
[✗] lighttpd daemon is failed
[✓] pihole-FTL daemon is active

What's the output of the following commands;

which lighttpd
sudo systemctl status --full --no-pager lighttpd.service
brain@fart:~/Desktop/Docker/docker-pi-hole$ which lighttpd
/usr/sbin/lighttpd
brain@fart:~/Desktop/Docker/docker-pi-hole$ sudo systemctl status --full --no-pager lighttpd.service

Thanks to your help I found that I need to run 'apt-get install gamin' and apt-utils then I could start the lighttpd service.

Thanks again!
