This seems to suggest there is an issue with the web interface locally.. though your debug log does not indicate any diff in the directory...

Please could you give us the results of the following commands?

cd /var/www/html/admin && git status

cd /var/www/html/admin && git remote -v

Thanks!

This is what I get:

pi@rasperrypi:~ $ cd /var/www/html/admin && git status
On branch master
Your branch is behind 'origin/master' by 2 commits, and can be fast-forwarded.
  (use "git pull" to update your local branch)
nothing to commit, working tree clean

pi@rasperrypi:/var/www/html/admin $ cd /var/www/html/admin && git remote -v
origin	https://github.com/pi-hole/AdminLTE.git (fetch)
origin	https://github.com/pi-hole/AdminLTE.git (push)

OK, everything looks in order there.

From that directory (/var/www/html/admin) can you please run sudo git pull and see what happens?

pi@rasperrypi:~ $ cd /var/www/html/admin
pi@rasperrypi:/var/www/html/admin $ sudo git pull

Excellent, that should have solved the problem. It appears that you are now on the latest commit. I am not 100% on what was causing the problem though.

Could you please run one last pihole -v, pihole -up, and also pihole -d to upload a fresh debug token and we can make sure

This is incredibly weird.

One last thing, could you try a repair with pihole -r?

Perhaps time to go nuclear on that directory.

sudo rm -rf /var/www/html/admin
sudo git clone https://github.com/pi-hole/adminlte /var/www/html/admin
pihole -v

No, just the web interface files. There are not any settings stored in there
