FTL doesn't appear to create a sock completely

Why do you think this file should exist?
The new web interface doesn't use this file. It was used only by Pi-hole v5.


Apparently you fixed your other issue with ports.

Can you access the web interface via IP http://192.168.68.199:8080/admin and https://192.168.68.199:8443/admin?

Also, are you using a reverse proxy?
