Hi,

I have changed my http and now I cant log into my web interface as my browser says the port is not secure. How using the console do I change my port back to port 80? I know I shouldn't have changed it in the first place but I have another computer I need to be able to log into and that uses port 80.

Thanks any help would be very much appreciated, just to say I may need it in idiots terms as I'm ok with the web interface (well messing things up) but hopeless at anything else.

Why does it matter that you have another computer using port 80? It isn't using the same IP address. You aren't just forwarding a port from your router to your FreeNAS server, are you? If you are, stop it. FreeNAS isn't designed or hardened for direct access from the Internet, and you'll be exposing it to attackers from @RussianMafia to across the street. If you need to access your web GUI (or other resources on your LAN) remotely, set up a VPN, or use SSH tunneling.

With all of that said, option 8 on the console menu will reset your system to factory defaults, which should put your system back on port 80.
