Your debug log shows the web interface is running, using IP 192.168.50.10 and port 80:

*** [ DIAGNOSING ]: Dashboard headers
[✓] Web interface X-Header: X-Pi-hole: The Pi-hole Web interface is working!

*** [ DIAGNOSING ]: Networking
[✓] IPv4 address(es) bound to the eth0 interface:

Do you have a firewall blocking requests to port 80?

Where do you see this message? Are you typing the URL on the command line?

Thank you for your response.
There were firewall enabled on my Asus router, not specified into a certain port in the settings. (Generic radio button).

Temporarely I did disable it + reboot Raspberry Pi = no impact.

On command line, I'm typing the http//192.168.50.10/admin (and http://pi.hole/admin ) for both I do get the same message: "-bash: http://xxx.xxx.xx.xx/admin/: No such file or directory"

This is not how you should access the web interface.

You need to enter http://192.168.50.10/admin in your web browser.

Oh my god :slight_smile: Idiot me, trying to start the web service on the Raspberry without GUI (& web browser) version. That was my personal brain fart. Thank you for your effort!
