Problem accessing Pi-hole web admin page Odroid HC1 - FIXED

Troubleshooting
1

Hi,

I installed Pi-hole following these instructions I found here.

Apparently it’s working, except that I can’t access the web admin page. I get a 404 not found error.

These are my outputs.

pihole status

[✓] DNS service is running
[✓] Pi-hole blocking is Enabled




curl -I 127.0.0.1/pihole

HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
Content-Type: text/html

Any idea what could be the problem?

Thanks
Abraham

Check the server document root in /etc/lighttpd.conf is correct:

It may be :

server.document-root = “/var/www/html”

or

server.document-root = “/var/www”

Check it matches where your pihole web interface are.

I believe they match

Here’s my /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf

cat /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf

server.modules = (
	"mod_access",
	"mod_alias",
	"mod_compress",
 	"mod_redirect",
#       "mod_rewrite",
)

server.document-root        = "/var/www"
server.upload-dirs          = ( "/var/cache/lighttpd/uploads" )
server.errorlog             = "/var/log/lighttpd/error.log"
server.pid-file             = "/var/run/lighttpd.pid"
server.username             = "www-data"
server.groupname            = "www-data"
server.port                 = 80


index-file.names            = ( "index.php", "index.html", "index.lighttpd.html" )
url.access-deny             = ( "~", ".inc" )
static-file.exclude-extensions = ( ".php", ".pl", ".fcgi" )

compress.cache-dir          = "/var/cache/lighttpd/compress/"
compress.filetype           = ( "application/javascript", "text/css", "text/html", "text/plain" )

# default listening port for IPv6 falls back to the IPv4 port
include_shell "/usr/share/lighttpd/use-ipv6.pl " + server.port
include_shell "/usr/share/lighttpd/create-mime.assign.pl"
include_shell "/usr/share/lighttpd/include-conf-enabled.pl"

and here’s part of pihole debug

Nevermind, I was able to access it on http://127.0.0.1/html/admin/

I forgot the last slash on my previous tries. It now works!!

Thanks :smiley:
