It is likely something else is bound to port 80, preventing lighttpd from running. You are using hass and if I recall, that installs it own web interface. Run this command to see what is listening on ports used by Pi-Hole:

sudo netstat -nltup | grep 'Proto\|:53 \|:67 \|:80 \|:471'

hi,
thanks for your help...
the result of

sudo netstat -nltup | grep 'Proto|:53 |:67 |:80 |:471'

in the Lighttpd.conf i have already changed the port

server.document-root        = "/var/www/html"
server.error-handler-404    = "pihole/index.php"
server.upload-dirs          = ( "/var/cache/lighttpd/uploads" )
server.errorlog             = "/var/log/lighttpd/error.log"
server.pid-file             = "/var/run/lighttpd.pid"
server.username             = "www-data"
server.groupname            = "www-data"

> server.port                 = 8765

accesslog.filename          = "/var/log/lighttpd/access.log"
accesslog.format            = "%{%s}t|%V|%r|%s|%b"

Hass(aka Homeassistant) has a webui on port 8123 so it's not hass.. I have also reinstalled pihole but
it still doesn't work :(((((
