Lighttpd server.port parameter set to 80 when updating PI-Hole

[jeanbruder]

Versions

• Pi-hole version is tweak/local_dns_cname v5.4-49-ga872fabe (Latest: v5.5)
• AdminLTE version is v5.7 (Latest: v5.7)
• FTL version is v5.10.2 (Latest: v5.10.2)

Platform

• OS and version: Debian bookworm/sid, kernel 5.10.60-sunxi64 @ aarch64

• Platform: Rock64

Expected behavior

If the Lighttpd server.port parameter is changed (not TCP/80), this parameter should be preserved during the PI-Hole update.

Actual behavior / bug

Lighhtpd server.port is set to 80, changing the manually set listening port.

Steps to reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Change the server.port parameter in the /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf to another value than 80,
2. Update PI-Hole with "pihole -up",
3. Verify the server.port value : changed to 80

See the header of the file... use external.conf instead.

Just a note on using external.conf, make sure to use the correct syntax to replace the port:
