admin page show index

Help
1

Hello, I know this has been posted more, but so far I couldn't fix it by reading other posts

So I do have Apache2 installed. In the past I had pi-hole installed and running without a problem.

I had pi-hole uninstalled a month ago, since I wanted to try out adguard.
Not satisfied with adguard I wanted to go back to Pi-hole, so I installed pi-hole again, but I cannot seem to get the admin page working.

At first I had an error on lighttpd, but changing the port in external.conf to 8888 removed the lighttpd error that the port was already in use, but I am still unable to get the normal admin UI. I still get the idnex page on https://192.168.178.50/admin/
and it will not connect at all on http or https://192.168.178.50:8888/admin/
I have looked online and tried many suggested solutions (too many to mention here, but I seem to be unable to fix the issue

Expected Behaviour:

Getting to the admin ui and configure pi-hole

Actual Behaviour:

getting showm the index page for the admin folder under /var/ww/html/admin

Debug Token:

https://tricorder.pi-hole.net/HmjQna9M/

Pihole is otherwise working properly
ewald@linuxserver:/var/www/html$ sudo pihole status
[â“] FTL is listening on port 53
[â“] UDP (IPv4)
[â“] TCP (IPv4)
[â“] UDP (IPv6)
[â“] TCP (IPv6)

[â“] Pi-hole blocking is enabled
ewald@linuxserver:/var/www/html$

Can anyone please help me. I have been on it for over 3 weeks and quite frankly I am getting very frustrated!

You have changed your default configuration and FTL is on ports 80 and 443:

[webserver]
     domain = "pi.hole"
     acl = ""
     port = "80,443s,[::]:80,[::]:443s" ### CHANGED, default = "80o,443os,[::]:80o,[::]:443os"

But, Apache2 is already on both those ports:

[✗] tcp:*:80 is in use by apache2 (https://docs.pi-hole.net/main/prerequisites/#ports)
[✗] tcp:*:443 is in use by apache2 (https://docs.pi-hole.net/main/prerequisites/#ports)

Change your configuration in file /etc/pihole/pihole.toml to put FTL on the port(s) of your choosing other than 80 or 443.
