I'm trying to install on Raspbian Buster and failing!

I did the usual updates, then installed owserver owhttpd ow-shell,  it has installed 3.2p3

owdir worked, but that was with the fake devices in owfs.conf. Edited that out and added dtparam=i2c1=on

sudo i2cdetect -y 1

gives me

Error: Could not open file `/dev/i2c-1' or `/dev/i2c/1': No such file or directory

Searching suggested adding dtparam=i2c1=on  to /boot/config.txt

I did that and rebooted

I still get   Error: Could not open file `/dev/i2c-1' or `/dev/i2c/1': No such file or directory

Thought I might need to restart the service but

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ systemctl restart owserver.service
==== AUTHENTICATING FOR org.freedesktop.systemd1.manage-units ===
Authentication is required to restart 'owserver.service'.

polkit-agent-helper-1: pam_authenticate failed: Authentication failure
==== AUTHENTICATION FAILED ===
Failed to restart owserver.service: Access denied
See system logs and 'systemctl status owserver.service' for details.
pi@raspberrypi:~ $

I think this is the section of the syslog file, but doesn't mean much to me
