Unable to access Admin page after update

Just completed an update to my Pihole instance on a Raspberry Pi. However, following the update I am no longer able to access the Admin page located at 192.168.1.53/Admin. The pi-hole is operational as I can see that adds are blocked when I go to a web page such as hackaday.com

I can log onto the pi with Putty no problem. If I attempt to run "pihole -up" again I get the following error "/opt/pihole/update.sh: line 108: : No such file or directory"

You are partway through the update to V6.

In Pi-hole V6, FTL is the web server, but your FTL is on V5.

And, you are running an unsupported OS:

*** [ DIAGNOSING ]: Operating system
[✓] Distro:  Raspbian
[✗] Version: 10
[✓] dig return code: 0
[i] dig response: "Raspbian=11,12 Ubuntu=20,22,23,24 Debian=11,12 Fedora=40,41 CentOS=9,10"
[✗] Error: Raspbian is supported but version 10 is currently unsupported (https://docs.pi-hole.net/main/prerequisites/)

Ok. So how do I complete the update? I used "pihole -up". It finished and my Putty session terminated. When I reconnect the update command no longer functions, I receievd the message as shown in my original post. Ive been running piHole on a Raspberry pi for years, never had an issue before with it being unsupported.

How do I resolve the issue and regain access to the Admin UI page? Its currently reporting a 403 error Forbidden error.

Try this command:

sudo PIHOLE_SKIP_OS_CHECK=true pihole -r

If this fails, the best solution would be to do a fresh OS installation, using a newer OS.
