Web interface is unreachable, but the pihole is working

SOLVED by going to the correct ip. 192.168.0.116 instead of 192.168.0.166

Expected Behaviour:

I would like to access the Pihole webinterface/GUI at 192.168.0.166/admin

Actual Behaviour:

I get a ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT when going to 192.168.0.166/admin
The Pihole is blocking ads and I can see that it's working when typing pihole -c

Debug Token:

https://tricorder.pi-hole.net/FYatBKFY/

I've run sudo service lighttpd restart but that didnt help.

When running sudo service pihole-FTL status I get this log:

Your debug log shows Pi-hole's webserver lighttpd to be up and running:

*** [ DIAGNOSING ]: Lighttpd configuration test
[✓] No error in lighttpd configuration
*** [ DIAGNOSING ]: Dashboard headers
[✓] Web interface X-Header: X-Pi-hole: The Pi-hole Web interface is working!

Your debug log shows your Pi-hole host to live at 192.168.0.116, which doesn't seem to be the address you have been using:

Try http://192.168.0.116/admin or http://pi.hole/admin instead.

Wow, I feel stupid now. Visiting the correct address helps :smiley:
Thank you very much.

Solved.

Don't be too harsh on yourself. :wink:

Sometimes, you just need that second pair of eyes.
