Hm, that’s how it’s configured on my system as well. Very strange…
Had exactly the same issue. I had to grant execute permission to "others" on the full chain of directories, not just admin, so sudo chmod 755 /var/www and sudo chmod 755 /var/www/html after that the admin interface works.

Hi, I'm facing the same issue, so I decided to give you guys some information as well:
I just updated my pihole via: pihole -up. After successful update I tried to use pihole -r because i'm facing some different issues as well, but these issues are caused by me. This command now fails (which did not fail a few minutes ago) with the error: [✗] The Pi-hole command requires root privileges, try: sudo pihole -r
I did not change the user I'm using. Just updated the pihole.
Maybe it helps debugging what is causing the issue, otherwise ignore it 
Yes, this did the trick for me. Very interesting.
I have the same issue and this did not work. I had to run sudo apt purge lighttpd and pihole -r to fix the issue. However conditional forwarding isn't working like it did in v5 so I ended up reverting from a backup.

After update i had 404 error for admin site aswell. Wasnt aware the URL to admin changed with this update.
Try this new link https://<IP_OF_PIHOLE>/admin/
(Old URL was http://<IP_OF_PIHOLE>/admin/index.php)

I am having the same issue. Tried every solution from this thread but to no avail. I am still getting error 404. As I understand the connection works fine, it's just the web page cannot be found on the server.
I've just looked at the debug log and noticed that web version shows 5.21, while core and ftl are both 6.0.x. A few lines below it says GITHUB_WEB_VERSION=v6.0.1. Does it mean webserver has not been updated to v6?
CORE_BRANCH=master
WEB_BRANCH=master
FTL_BRANCH=master
CORE_VERSION=v6.0.4
WEB_VERSION=v5.21
FTL_VERSION=v6.0.2
GITHUB_CORE_VERSION=v6.0.4
GITHUB_WEB_VERSION=v6.0.1
GITHUB_FTL_VERSION=v6.0.2
CORE_HASH=567bb724
GITHUB_CORE_HASH=567bb724
WEB_HASH=be05b0f6
GITHUB_WEB_HASH=42e7279a
FTL_HASH=ac500d5f
GITHUB_FTL_HASH=ac500d5f
Probably. In a few cases this is just a versions file glitch.
To be sure, run pihole updatechecker and then pihole -v. If the version is still showing v5, your web interface wasn't updated. In this case, run pihole -r and select "repair" to fix it.
This worked for me yesterday.
Today though with 6.0.4 core update, the admin page is gone again!
Edit: after running sudo systemctl restart pihole-FTL.service and adding :443 port to the url, it loaded fine again and I could resume accessing https://myIP/admin/ without a problem.

I ran both commands and the version was still 5.21
dietpi@DietPi2b:~$ sudo pihole updatechecker
dietpi@DietPi2b:~$ sudo pihole -v
Core version is v6.0.4 (Latest: v6.0.4)
Web version is v5.21 (Latest: v6.0.1)
FTL version is v6.0.2 (Latest: v6.0.2)
So, I ran pihole -r but webserver is still v5.21.
[✓] Done.
[i] The install log is located at: /etc/pihole/install.log
[✓] Update complete!
Core version is v6.0.4 (Latest: v6.0.4)
Web version is v5.21 (Latest: v6.0.1)
FTL version is v6.0.2 (Latest: v6.0.2)
I resolved the latest v6 problem by running pihole-FTL --config webserver.port 80

Have the same issue and cannot access the webserver anymore, tried propsal of Brizzer but that didn't solve it, If you like to check, my log is:
https://tricorder.pi-hole.net/7gYBiqIa/
I ran pihole -up again today and finally the web server got updated to 6.0.1. Now admin website is working fine!
