Newbie- Pihole seems to be working but interface is not.

The issue I am facing: The 3 ways given to access the interface are not working. I thought the issue was casaOS was on the same port so i moved it. It still isn’t working. I tried to put just my pc on the static DNS. I think its working? Also tried using casaOS interface to install it and that didn’t work too well. So I did the direct route. Gave me the blue dialog box and the ip address, which isn’t working.

Details about my system: debug → https://tricorder.pi-hole.net/GuX0EDHY/

What I have changed since installing Pi-hole: casaOS port.

Your log shows CasaOS interface is probably using port 800.
Pi-hole web server is using port 443, but nothing is using port 80:

[✓] tcp:0.0.0.0:443 is in use by pihole-FTL

This means you can access the web interface using https right now:

But you can't access it using http because the server was started when port 80 was in use:

[2026-02-25 19:48:54.505 UTC 18144] Initializing HTTP server on ports "80o,443os,[::]:80o,[::]:443os"
[2026-02-25 19:48:54.506 UTC 18144] cannot bind to 80o: 98 (Address in use)
[2026-02-25 19:48:54.506 UTC 18144] cannot bind to IPv6 [::]:80o: 98 (Address in use)

You thought correctly, but did you remember to restart Pi-hole after you moved CasaOS to a different port?

If you didn't, Pi-hole doesn't know port 80 (http) is free.
Restart Pi-hole and try again.

Everything you said was correct. I was just a simple restart away… THANK YOU!
