V6 no admin interface

Help
1

Please follow the below template, it will help us to help you!

Very standard Pihole install on a Raspbery Pi 400. Has been running for a few months without issue and have used the "pihole -up" upgrade process successfully before. This time I used it to upgrade to v6.

Expected Behaviour:

The admin interface should work on the same static IP address as before but using the new inbuilt admin interface.

Actual Behaviour:

The admin interface cannot be found though the Pihole does seem to be working in the background (i.e. all devices still connect to the internet and blocking still seems effective).

Debug Token:

I got the same problem, luckily, I only upgraded the secondary instance to let it run for a week.

dig google.com @pihole02.home.arpa works still.

  1. pihole02.home.arpa/admin/login: Returns 404 either via HTTP or HTTPS
  2. pihole02.home.arpa/admin: Returns 404 either via HTTP or HTTPS
  3. pihole02.home.arpa/admin/index.php: Displays some stuff

Your debug log shows your web server is using port 8080:

port = "8080o,443os,[::]:8080o,[::]:443"

Try http://192.168.1.5:8080/admin or https://192.168.1.5/admin

I didn't open a post because I am having the same problem.
I have tried to reconfigure, repair but nothing.

Even tho it said pihole:8080/admin I get 404
nmap does show the ports are up, DNS requests are being processed but no GUI.

Is there a way to rollback without reinstalling v5 from scratch.??

That is weird, when I first ran pihole -up, only the FTL and Core were updated to the latest.

Core version is v6.0.1 (Latest: v6.0.1)
Web version is v5.21 (Latest: v6.0)
FTL version is v6.0 (Latest: v6.0)

I ran pihole -up again coz it cannot get worse and now everything has been updated and the GUI is back.

Core version is v6.0.1 (Latest: v6.0.1)
Web version is v6.0 (Latest: v6.0)
FTL version is v6.0 (Latest: v6.0)

The new GUI looks so pretty <3

same here after updating to v6 the webinterface port changed from 80 to 8080 which is not possible because this port is used by sabnzbd. How can I change the port back to 80? even an reconfigure didn't helped its still using port 8080

https is wokring but I don't like the waring that the conneciton is not secure

found the settings under /admin/settings/all -> changed from 8080o -> 80o

Solved: As per rdwebdesign's post above, I was able to login using https:// - adding the port number to http:// didn’t work but https:// without the port number did. Now running as expected.

When you can't access the webGUI but need to change things you can do the following :

# nano /etc/pihole/pihole.toml

and then look for the 80so,443so-like settings and change to the port you want :slight_smile:

Then it's just

systemctl restart pihole-FTL

and you got your webGUi back! :+1:

I tried updating this, and here is what I see:
port = "8080o,443os" ### CHANGED, default = "80o,[::]:80o,443so,[::]:443so"

So I updated to:
# port = "8080o,443os" ### CHANGED, default = "80o,[::]:80o,443so,[::]:443so" port = "80o,[::]:80o,443so,[::]:443so"

Back to default...restarted the service and still not seeing the gui.

Will that not work?

I've also seen where you can add [::]: to the updated port numbers. That did not work for me either. So:
port = "8080o,[::]:443os"

Could you try just

port = "80o,443so"

And only test IPv4 connectivity ?

The other thing to note, I've disabled all IPv6. Do I need to enable?

EDIT: It worked, I'm in. Did not need to add :8080 or :80. Back to the old http://IP/admin/`

Only when your ISP actually uses IPv6 and you know how to apply it correctly in your LAN when using Pi-Hole :slight_smile:

SWEET!!! :+1:

NOTE:

You don't need to add the port, when you are using port 80.

If you don't explicitly add a port, the browser will try port 80 because this is the default port.
