**The issue I am facing: Unable to access pihole web admin interface. Can ssh into server and modified ufw to allow connections. Assigned static IP address 192.168.0.179 and cannot access pihole admin page at 192.168.0.179/admin

Details about my system: Ubuntu server 22.04, fresh reinstall. Pihole -v returns: Pi-hole version is v5.16.2 (Latest: v5.16.2) AdminLTE version is v5.19 (Latest: v5.19) FTL version is v5.22 (Latest: v5.22)

What I have changed since installing Pi-hole: Allowed ufw connections for port 53 and 8080/tcp

pihole -d link: https://tricorder.pi-hole.net/i6CbjMzJ/

You have changed the port to 8080, in /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf

   server.port                 = 8080

Option 1: change the port back to 80;

Option 2: use http://192.168.0.179:8080/admin to access the web interface;

Keeping it at port 8080 for now. Tried option one and reset lighttpd.conf "server.port" to 80 but then cannot access admin page even after rebooting system or lighttpd.

Option 2 allows me to access the pihole admin interface

Probably there is another web server (maybe apache or nginx) using port 80.

Anyway, I'm glad you find a solution.
