Expected Behaviour:
The Pi-Hole service should be running and showing no issues.
Actual Behaviour:
I've had my Pi-Hole server running for about 2 weeks now with no issues, today I went to check the admin webpage and I noticed the status of the Pi-Hole was "Unknown". I've tried stopping and restarting all Pi-Hole related services, including apache2, vsftpd, and ssh to attempt to rule out conflicts. I've since uninstalled and "rm -rf"'d every file that has the word pihole in it, and attempted a fresh reinstall. I ran into a resolv.conf issue with resolving domains, fixed that by switching to 8.8.8.8 and successfully installed after that. I also run a webserver, and am more comfortable using apache2 instead of lighttpd (never even heard of it until Pi-Hole), so I remove lighttpd from my system, which had always left the Pi-Hole still functional, but after all this work, I still have an "Unknown" status on my admin webpage. I've run the pihole -d command and the only issues I've found is that lighttpd isn't installed, a "X-Header does not match or could not be retrieved." a "Notice: Found no readable FTL config file." and a final group of errors near the end of the log:

My final option seems to be to wipe the Pi entirely and to reinstall Pi-64 OS to it and start from scratch, which wouldn't destroy much data as I have my server on an external SSD, but obviously I'd like to avoid that if possible.
