So I recently installed Pi Hole onto my Raspberry Pi and it worked like a charm, though I wanted to install it rather onto a repurposed Mac Mini, now running Kubuntu 17.04. However, I came across a few issues, of which I've fixed a couple. However, now, Lighttpd no longer appears to work; due to some issue with using Php 7 rather than 5. I've tried pretty much every way to attempt to move it to Apache 2 due to the support of Php 7, however, I have had no luck and would really appreciate if anyone could document exactly how to do this.
It should work with PHP 7. Run pihole -d for a debug token. Also give the output of sudo service lighttpd status
So what I received appears to be alright, however, when I try to go to the admin page, it says it's forbidden.
The token is: u7mqxg6rns
The output of the service status is:
● lighttpd.service - Lighttpd Daemon

Which leads me to believe I need to chmod 755 the whole directory, perhaps...
No, I don't think so. You already have -rw-r--r-- == 644.
The permissions are missing for /var/www and /var/www/html. I assume you forgot to use -lh as an option?
Just to add, this might be interesting as well:
ls -lh /var/log/lighttpd
Whoops, my bad about the permissions for the other directories:
drwxrwxr-x 4 www-data www-data 4.0K Jun 29 11:22 html
And
drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4.0K Jun 28 21:45 admin
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3.3K Jun 28 22:26 index.lighttpd.html
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3.3K Jun 28 21:45 index.lighttpd.orig
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K Jun 28 21:46 pihole
Finally:
ls: cannot open directory '/var/log/lighttpd': Permission denied
Okay, that all looks not too bad. Please repeat the last one with sudo powers, i.e.
sudo ls -lh /var/log/lighttpd
If you create a dummy file
echo "<html><body>ABC <?php echo ("DEF"); ?></body></html>" | sudo tee /var/www/html/test.php
can you access this page under http://pi.hole/test.php ? If yes, what does it print?
Repeating the last one with sudo returned:
-rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 31K Jun 29 12:19 access.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 775 Jun 29 11:25 error.log
Also I can't access the page for it states:
403 - Forbidden
Okay, can you also show what
sudo tail /var/log/lighttpd/access.log
says?

Hmm, it is not immediately clear what is happening here... Typically, a website produces a 401 Unauthorized error when special permission is required but sometimes a 403 Forbidden is generated instead, so that cannot be ruled out.
Can you try visiting http://pi.hole/test.php again and send the output of
sudo tail /var/log/lighttpd/error.log
?
We might have to investigate if it is your PHP that is failing somehow.

Next step: We need to identify if it is a PHP problem or not.
Please try
echo "<html><body>ABC</body></html>" | sudo tee /var/www/html/test.html
and try to access http://pi.hole/test.html
I can access that site, and it shows ABC. So that's working, now I believe it's a PHP problem...
I agree. But it is strange that there is no mentioning in error.log...
Please try
sudo lighttpd-enable-mod fastcgi
sudo lighttpd-enable-mod fastcgi-php
sudo /etc/init.d/lighttpd force-reload
Ignoring unknown module: fastcgi
Run /etc/init.d/lighttpd force-reload to enable changes
It can't find fastcgi or fastcgi-php as modules...
Please try
sudo apt-get --purge remove lighttpd
sudo apt-get install lighttpd
sudo lighty-enable-mod fastcgi
sudo lighty-enable-mod fastcgi-php
