Wiki is obviously outdated, because right now it promises something that is supposed to work but it doesn't work

mglae Thank you very much for your help.
This acutally solved my problem!
However, still don't understand why I wasn't able to start the webserver via ssh. I suspect it has something to do with authentication and password (because when I actually was able to control my kodi via kodi-remote GUI did not allow me to start webserver unless I set up the password)... But how would I do that in the command line? Just cannot find anything relevant info in wiki...

Hi everybody. New to LE and Kodi.
I have spent three days breaking my head against the wall with no luck, trying to enable webserver on my LE (tried both 11.0.3 and 10.0.4) on Raspberry Pi 4.
I don't have the keyboard - only my laptop for ssh access. Thus for configuring kodi I wanted to enable http server, connect via Yatse android app and configure the rest (wifi, addons etc.)
Trying to follow the the wiki: https://kodi.wiki/view/Web_interface I have enabled ssh, stopped kodi systemd service and tried directly modifying webserver-related part of /storage/.kodi/userdata/guisettings.xml :
Code
Display More... <setting id="services.webserver">true</setting> <setting id="services.webserverport" default="true">8080</setting> <setting id="services.webserverauthentication" default="true">true</setting> <setting id="services.webserverusername" default="true">kodi</setting> <setting id="services.webserverpassword" default="true" /> <setting id="services.webserverssl" default="true">false</setting> <setting id="services.webskin" default="true">webinterface.default</setting> <setting id="services.esenabled" default="true">true</setting> <setting id="services.esport" default="true">9777</setting> <setting id="services.esportrange" default="true">10</setting> <setting id="services.esmaxclients" default="true">20</setting> <setting id="services.esallinterfaces">true</setting> ....After doing systemctl start kodi all was overwritten and nothing listens on ports 8080 or 9090.
Ok, then I have created /storage/.kodi/userdata/advancedsettings.xml with the following content:
Code<advancedsettings> <services> <esallinterfaces>true</esallinterfaces> <webserver>true</webserver> <zeroconf>true</zeroconf> <webserverport>8080</webserverport> </services> </advancedsettings>Expectations: Webserver starts listening on port 8080 for HTTP requests (so I could connect to it via Yatse Android client)
Actual results: JSON-RCP starts listening on 9090 but NOTHING is listening on 8080 (checking with nmap and netstat
Code

I even tried to configure it with JSON-RCP (without luck) using the following curls (following by systemctl restart kodi)

I'd appreciate any help. Thanks.
