Hello,
pihole was running fine for months. Then I tried to access admin page and it didn't work. Also using /admin did still result in 403 page.
What I find very strange is that /var/www/html and all files in there belong to root. Shouldn't this be www-data:www-data?
During my tests I remove the usage from my Fritzbox. And I also changed ip adress from .10 to .11 - just in case this comes up in the debug file.
Rasperry pi
403 error
https://tricorder.pi-hole.net/5GWTent8/
Actually, the directory (/var/www/html) should belong to www-data. The files and sub-directories inside html/ usually belong to root.
Your debug log doesn't show any obvious problems.
Please post the full output of: ls -la /var/www/html/admin/
This how looks like on my Pi for quick chown / chmod fix:
$ pihole version
[..]
web version is v5.21 (Latest: v5.21)

Hi,
this is my list of /var/www/html/admin. For me this is strange to have it belong to root, as this could be a potential security risk. But it looks like this is on purpose.

So everyone should have read access.
I dont see anything wrong.stat command and check if maybe one of the files/folders in the subfolders lack proper permissions/ownership ^^^
What error(s) is/are displayed when tailing the logs live while accessing the webGUI?
sudo tail -F /var/log/lighttpd/{access,error}-pihole.log
You could also try a fresh start:
Hi Borat,
Might be best to wipe the local repos and start over. (Your configs will be preserved this way)
sudo rm -rf /etc/.pihole
sudo git clone -q --depth 1 https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole.git /etc/.pihole
sudo rm -rf /var/www/html/admin
sudo git clone -q --depth 1 https://github.com/pi-hole/adminLTE.git /var/www/html/admin
pihole -r
After the last step, choose the repair option, and you should be back on track
Nothing wrong with that:
$ ps -o uid,user,gid,group,pid,cmd -C lighttpd
UID USER GID GROUP PID CMD
33 www-data 33 www-data 2609 /usr/sbin/lighttpd -D -f /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf
I did the check with the stat-command. Everything looked fine. For some strange reason this seams to have fixed my problem (or it fixed itself?). The GUI login is working again. Thanks for any help.
