Pi-Hole lighttpd fails binding on 10.255.252.1:80

Is your enhancement proposal related to a problem? Please describe.

After installing Pi-Hole on VPS following this wiki the web interface of the Pi-Hole is not reachable. This is because lighttpd fails to start. Using journalctl I got the following error: Jan 28 20:13:33 mptcpBTW lighttpd[19310]: 2022-01-28 20:13:32: (network.c.313) can't bind to socket: 10.255.252.1:80 Cannot assign requested address Removing $SERVER["socket"] == "10.255.252.1:80" { } from /etc/lighttpd/external.conf and lighttpd started correctly.

Describe the solution you'd like

Either removing $SERVER["socket"] == "10.255.252.1:80" { } from the downloadable script if it's no longer being used or implement a check whether that address is usable.

so just put the littpd on a different port, like 8080 and you are good.

10.255.252.1 is used by OpenVPN TCP, so if you didn't make any changes and use latest VPS release you should have it available and lighttpd should be able to bind to it.
