Can't Resolve pi.hole/admin after changing default port

[Bugg6]

The issue I am facing:
I changed the default port from 80 to 8000 by editing /etc/lighttpd/conf-enabled/external.conf and the webpage successfully resolves when I go to <ip_address>:8000/admin.

I would like pi.hole/admin to resolve as well, but I can't figure out where or what changes I need to make.

TIA!

Details about my system:
Ubuntu 22.04 running on a Raspberry Pi 4

What I have changed since installing Pi-hole:
Updated default port from 80 to 8000 in lighttpd

With HTTP, no port specified implies that port 80 is used.

If you want 'pi.hole/admin to resolve', you have to stick to port 80.

Alright, thanks for the info!
