Pihole API status request always returning disabled as status

[joluas]

Versions

• Pi-hole: 5.8.1
• AdminLTE: 5.13
• FTL: 5.10.1

Platform

• OS and version: Debian 11
• Platform: Raspberry Pi, Docker

Expected behavior

When using the command http://pi.hole/admin/api.php?status the results should be {"status":"enabled"} or {"status":"disabled"} according to the current status of Pi-hole.

This result should match the information contained on the result from http://pi.hole/admin/api.php

Actual behavior / bug

When using the command http://pi.hole/admin/api.php?status the result is always the following:
{"status":"disabled"}

Even when Pi-hole is running:

If you compare this with the full result of http://pi.hole/admin/api.php the status does not matches either:
{"domains_being_blocked":126559,"dns_queries_today":27264,"ads_blocked_today":2605,"ads_percentage_today":9.554724,"unique_domains":1615,"queries_forwarded":17477,"queries_cached":6998,"clients_ever_seen":14,"unique_clients":13,"dns_queries_all_types":27264,"reply_NODATA":128,"reply_NXDOMAIN":41,"reply_CNAME":352,"reply_IP":436,"privacy_level":0,"status":"enabled","gravity_last_updated":{"file_exists":true,"absolute":1642177518,"relative":{"days":1,"hours":5,"minutes":13}}}

Steps to reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open web browser
2. Write the following on address bar http://pi.hole/admin/api.php?status
3. See error

Additional context

This was working before the latest update. I am not a programmer and only starting with some raspberry pi projects so excuse any lack of proper context.
