Install error on test v6 install

General Beta 6.0
1

Just tried installing a new v6 install on a Pi I had lying around, as I’m bored on a Sat afternoon. When the install finished, when it would normally show the web interface password, it simply said ‘NOT SET’. Have tried accessing http://192.168.1.199:8080/admin, but I just get a Connection Refused error.

Any ideas folks?

You can set that password with below:

sudo pihole setpassword

What do below two four output?

pihole-FTL --config webserver.port

sudo ss -nltup | grep pihole

nc -zvw 5 192.168.1.199 8080

sudo nft list ruleset

Your Tricorder log shows Pi-hole runs on ports 80 (HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS), so either
http://192.168.1.199/admin
or
https://192.168.1.199/admin

without any ports.

(No output)

Why is this? It’s just a standard install AFAIK

6

Do you want to have it listining on another port for some reason?
Why not default port 80 for HTTP?

EDIT: Oh ps, output looks good ... for port 80 (HTTP) and 443(HTTPS).

$ pihole-FTL --config webserver.port
80,[::]:80,443s,[::]:443s

Why are you trying port 8080?

By default Pi-hole installation will use port 80 if it is free.
Pi-hole will try to use port 8080 only if port 80 is already in use.

I'm not - this was a vanilla install, using defaults.

Literally all I did was:

Installed Pi-hole:

curl -sSL https://install.pi-hole.net | bash

and changed to the development branches using:

pihole checkout dev

9

But in the OP you said...

Have you tried accessing it via http://192.168.1.199/admin?

10

Yeah this works, I'm just wondering why it configured wrong in the first place.

It was in the final stages of the install that the instruction to log in via http://192.168.1.199:8080/admin was given

11

How did you install? Standard install and then switch via pihole checkout dev?

12

The issue is here:

This was part of Needs tweaking, offer chance to change web interface port · pi-hole/pi-hole@d2d1195 · GitHub

but most of this commit is gone. Only the hard-coded webport is still there
