As you have icinga2 in such an old version, I assume that icingaweb2 is also not up to date.

So my advice would be to update both to the newest version, using the official Icinga repository.
See https://icinga.com/docs/icinga2/latest/doc/02-getting-started/#setting-up-icinga-2 for the details.

Check if you have done all the needed steps for setting up Icinga Web2 and the databases:
https://icinga.com/docs/icinga2/latest/doc/02-getting-started/#setting-up-icinga-web-2

I suspect that you are either missing the ido database completely, where icinga2 will write it’s data to.
Or that you haven’t finished the setup of Icinga Web 2, where your define the various resources for db, authentication and so on.

Maybe even start completely fresh, if you haven’t done much/any configuration

I did a lot of checks - changes maybe I forgot to undo something.
I did 2 databases… maybe have some uncosistent resources naming….

Where is stored icinga2 config? in /etc/icingaweb2 folder?

You need to take a look a different configs

I’d say check
/etc/icinga2/features-enabled/ido-mysql.conf
/etc/icingaweb2/resources.ini (you can check this via the webui under /icingaweb2/config/resource)
/etc/icingaweb2/modules/monitoring/backends.ini(you can check this via the webui under /icingaweb2/config/modules#!/icingaweb2/monitoring/config)
/etc/icingaweb2/modules/monitoring/commandtransports.ini (you can check this via the webui under /icingaweb2/config/modules#!/icingaweb2/monitoring/config)

You are likely looking for the Icinga Director then.
