Pihole admin index page is loading forever

Help
#1

##Problem:
Everything seems to be working correctly and it's all updated, but my admin page won't stop spinning and it doesn't show me any details about queries and what are being blocked. It simply stopped after i left for a weekend and I can't get it back to what it's supposed to be. I've tried updating and deleting and reinstalling and no luck, any tips?
I think I am getting more ads than before even though it says it's working.

Any helps is greatly appreciated!

From your debug log most things seem to work, only a few are a bit suspicious/uncommon:

There is not DHCP server on your network?

   Timeout: 10 seconds
   
   DHCP packets received on interface wlan0: 0

There are a few restarts of the web server (lighttpd). Did you manually restart it?

One of your upstream DNS server is refusing some requests. Might be worth considering picking another upstream server

Regarding the non-working index:
Did you try to clear your browser's cache? Have you tried with different browsers? Are there any errors shown? Do you have any browser plugins installed?

#3
  1. I do have a DHCP on my router running with a static address for the pi.
  2. I did manually restart a few times trying to get something to work.
  3. It looks like something is working but weird I can't see it and I seem to be getting more ads.
  4. How can I pick another upstream server to change it? I didn't see this part.

INDEX:
I did clear my browsers cache, I tried on Chrome, Firefox, and Safari, No errors are shown it just loads forever but my settings and all other pages work, on incognito and other browsers it still just doesn't show up.
Thanks for the thorough reply, I've been pretty confused trying to troubleshoot and appreciate all the help.
Let me know if you have any other suggestions.

It seems like I'm getting a lot of errors with an undefined variable in the error.log file, Do you think it could have something to do with that?

Those happen when you run pihole -d so if you've done the debug a few times then you can ignore that.

#6

Try opening the development tools of chrome and see if there are any errors while loading the site
