Our grafana server was working well. We simply wanted to change the port. I followed the instructions for changing the default port for the system to 443 by Un-commenting the appropriate sections and then following the instructions for binding and service restarts.
sudo setcap ‘cap_net_bind_service=+ep’ /usr/sbin/grafana-server
then
sudo systemctl restart grafana-server
I even tried manually starting the service again, tried rebooting, and we simply cannot connect to the Web GUI any longer.
When I check the status, we see this:
● grafana-server.service - Grafana instance
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/grafana-server.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)

We can no longer connect. I even tried changing the ini back to how it was when we started, and it still will not start. All we did was edit the ini file
I don;t want to lose all the dashboards and data sources by re-installing.
We are running on Ubuntu Server 22.04 LTS
What am I doing wrong???
Thank you,
