Can't reinstall the web interface.

[rob0101]

All was working well until I installed pihole. This seems to be a known issue.

So I uninstalled pihole and moved it to another pi.

I can not get the web interface back. I've uninstalled lighttpd too, but nothing fixes the issue.

Any suggestions ?

thx.

Well somehow lighttpd is running again. Did a purge remove of it.

Now /dump1090.php shows the menu header and then "404 - Not Found" No clues in lighttpd's log

Ugh. Finally got it.

I had to empty /var/www/html and then reinstall both 1090 and the portal.

[Bering-Sea]

how did you empty /var/www/html ?

[rob0101]

sudo rm -rf /var/www/html/*

Just be careful rm -rf ‘ing anything, it cant be undone.

@rob0101 Thanks, that fixed my problem.
