Lost access to web interface after upgrading to Beta 6.0

General Beta 6.0
1

I had v5 and decided to participate testing on Beta 6.0. Used the following commands to update

echo "development-v6" | sudo tee /etc/pihole/ftlbranch 
pihole checkout core development-v6
pihole checkout web development-v6

after the updated i manually removed lighttpd(sudo apt-get remove lighttpd and tried to access web admin after that. Now it is unreachable.

With https://pihole IP:8080 it gives me the error on chrome
image

Error code: SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG on firefox

debug log here
https://tricorder.pi-hole.net/EYlDDk9A/

pihole -t seems to be okay still.. even after rebooting the platform.

Does it work properly with the following URL?

http://pihole IP:8080

Note this is with http, not https.

It does not. I have a unifi controller running on this platform as well. It might have that port taken already and the new web server failed to get setup.

when i tried http://pihole IP:8080, it was redirected to the unifi controller.

It appears that port 8080 is occupied by java, not pihole-FTL. From your debug log:

that must be it, the unifi controller already had the port taken. il try to reconfigure it to port 80..

thank you @jfb

aaand. im back in business, updated /etc/pihole/pihole.toml file and set the ports back from 8080 to 80

port = "80,[::]:80,443s,[::]:443s"

then ran pihole -r(reconfigure)

this might help those who have a similar setup. unifi controller and pi-hole on the same platform.

This should not be necessary anymore. A simple pihole restartdns (to restart FTL) should be enough,

Thinking about it, this is probably true for a lot of situations in V6.
