Cannot access pfSense GUI. When I portscan only open ports from LAN are only 53 and 22

I need help -I am new to pfSense and I cannot access the pfSense GUI. When I portscan, the only open ports from LAN are 53 and 22.
Can I use the console menu or SSH command to open the LAN port for WEB GUI?
Thank you. -
@BobAce
When you reconfigure the interface in the console (option 2), pfSense aks you to use HTTP or HTTPS to access the webGUI.
After finishing this process, it displays the URL. This should work at least.So depending on what you've chosen before, port 80 or 443 should be open.

SSH is not enabled by default so can we assume you enabled it? If not you may not actually be scanning the pfSense IP address.

@viragomann Thank you so much When reassigning the same LAN IP (or different IP) it gives me an option to enable the Web interface but then errors as below. And it will not apply changes. Thank you.
Enter an option: Do you want to revert to HTTP as the webConfigurator protocol? (y/n) y
Note: the anti-lockout rule on lan has been re-enabled.
Please wait while the changes are saved to LAN...

@stephenw10 Thank you. Yes, I have enabled ssh from the console directly not from SSH. Now I can access the console using Putty from the LAN side open command /etc/rc.initial and get to the menu.

Hmm, does restarting the webgui from the console menu (option 11) also throw that error?
Does it still reboot correctly? That could be a drive issue.

@viragomann Thank you so much. Instead of SSH then the console menu I pugged in my video cable, keyboard, and mouse, connected to the console directly from the firewall hardware, ran option 2 and it worked. Thank you again. I was pulling my hair all day today finally I have access.

@stephenw10 Thank you @viragomann 's solution worked directly connecting to the firewall hardware console using video cable, keyboard and mouse.
Thank you again!
