Connection refused

I made some changes to my network today and noticed some problems with calling the API.

First of all, my router was originally set to 172.16.0.1 for the gateway, and it used DHCP to pass out clients to the 172.16.0.100 to 172.16.254 range.

I changed that to pass out clients in the 172.16.68.100 to 172.16.68.254 range instead.

When I try to use the API as follows I get a “Connection refused” response

http://172.16.0.75/admin/api.php?disable=120&auth=HASHEDPASSWORD

And when I open the UI and try to open the query log I get a popup saying

An error occurred while loading the data: Connection refused. Is the FTL running?

I ran this

sudo systemctl status pihole-FTL

And was told that it is active and running. I didn’t make any changes to my PiHole, though I did run the upgrade hoping that would help, but alas it still doesn’t work. Any ideas?

ETA: My router is providing DHCP, not PiHole.

Please run pi-hole -d and provide us with a token. We provide a template when you post a new help request to get the information we need to help you the fastest and most completely.
