Cannot update Pi-hole Admin LTE

Help
1

Expected Behaviour:

Upgrade to 5.0

Actual Behaviour:

Update fails

Debug Token:

f4t4o3iar9

I am running pihole on two different machines. The first machine is a vanilla install without much else on it. Update rant without out an issue. The second machine has more going on include a service running via apache on port 80. I moved pihole to port 8080 via lighttpd conf file. I have had no issues with it since moving it to the 8080 port some time ago. But it seems this is preventing the update to 5.0 from executing. It returns an error, "could not update repository. Contact support.

Any help appreciated and congrats on the spanking new version. Looks beautiful!

You have a modified version of the web part of Pi-hole installed. Perhaps related to your Apache configuration.

Let's try this to repair your current install:

sudo rm /var/www/html/admin
sudo git clone https://github.com/pi-hole/AdminLTE.git /var/www/html/admin
pihole -r and select repair

Yup that worked... mostly. The update complete without issue. I then edited lighttpd.conf to update port 8080 and restarted the service. however, when I go to :8080/admin I am presented with the previous install. Is there another .conf I need to edit/update? I generated another debug. 4sfx7xq7vp report. Unrelated, what needs to be tweaked in order to make pi.hole/admin point to the 8080 address?

Thank you for your help!!

Your debug log shows lighttpd on port 8080.

server.port = 8080

Yes. I moved it to 8080 b/c apache is using 80. Wasn't an issue previously.

Interestingly, the interface renders as 4.x but the footer reports 5.0.

Clear the browser cache and reload the page. This should produce columns.
