Web GUI is not working

[ttc0419]

After I changed the Web GUI to HTTPS and reboot the router. I cannot access the Web GUI anymore. But I have SSH access. I tried restart the https service by

service restart_httpd

, but it's not working. The process is listening on 8443 according to netstat:

But it does not reply with valid http response even using curl on the router:

admin@RT-AC86U-BC68:/tmp/home/root# curl 192.168.86.1:8443
curl: (52) Empty reply from server

Is there any way I can set web back to http only using command line?

Is there any way I can set web back to http only using command line?

nvram set http_enable=0
nvram commit
service restart_httpd

 

[ttc0419]

nvram set http_enable=0
nvram commit
service restart_httpd

Thanks! The Web GUI works again, any idea why this happens? I enabled DDNS and SSH for both LAN and WAN, does these settings have something to do with it?

Sorry, no idea. I have both HTTP and HTTPS enabled as well as SSH.

None of these ports are exposed to the internet, they're LAN only. If you're restricting access by IP address that might be an issue.
