FTL does not create a sock

Help
1

Expected Behaviour:

I recently apt updated/upgraded - it was working a week ago when I tried it.

  • Raspberry Pi 4
  • Also running Apache2
  • No docker containers

Actual Behaviour:

Accessing through DDNS domain, web interface accepts my password. But after that the circle on the right just spins.

Debug Token:

This is a permission issue.

You want to use port 84:

   [webserver]
     domain = "pi.hole"
     acl = ""
     port = "8080o,8443os,[::]:8080o,[::]:84"

But your OS is not allowing to bind to port 84:

[2025-09-26 16:44:45.732 PDT 1956856] cannot bind to IPv6 [::]:84: 13 (Permission denied)
[2025-09-26 16:44:45.732 PDT 1956856] Failed to setup server ports

I think this is a typo. Try this command to change the ports:

sudo pihole-FTL --config webserver.port '8080o,8443os,[::]:8080o,[::]:8443os'
