If you run another web server on your raspberry pi such as nginx etc you’ll need to change the default port “80” for your pi-hole’s web admin. This guide applies to the default lighthttpd web server installed with pi-hole.
EDIT: 2020-10-06 – fixed sed command syntax. replaced single quote with double quotes. Was giving an expression #1 char unknown error.
Begin by making a backup of the pi-hole lighttpd config
sudo cp /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf.backup
Next replace the default port 80 with a port of your choice (example below uses port 8093).
sudo sed -ie “s/= 80/= 8093/g” /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf
Finally restart the lighttpd daemon.
sudo /etc/init.d/lighttpd restart
Connect to the pi-hole’s web admin in your browser using your newly updated port.
//192.168.x.x:8093/admin
//pi-hole.your.domain:8093/admin
Note: When you update pi-hole this change will be overwritten.
