Pi-hole no web interface, lighttpd.service failed to start

[silvertonesx24]

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

Expected Behaviour:

I accidentally bumped a power strip and restarted my Pihole. Now it no longer works. I tried a pihole -r it repairs fine, and pihole-d shows the expected x-header not available, and my web interface cannot be accessed. It was always working fine previously. I suspect the lighttpd service is corrupted. I tried the steps outlined by the user here, and it still doesn't work

You have an instance of Apache2 that has started, and it is preventing lighttpd from binding to port 80.
