Freshrss: Can't login to FreshRSS

[Stegemueller]

Hi there,

I really hope, you can help me. I've tried to install many times, and the installation is no problem.

After having completed the last step, I come to the login form, and enter the default username and the code. I keep getting this 403-oage saying

Error 403 - Forbidden
You don’t have permission to access this page
← Go back to your RSS feeds

Can anything be done with this?

Best regards,
Hanne

Hello,
Could you tell a bit more about your platform (operative system, Web server, PHP version, FreshRSS version...)?

Try to reset the password manually with the following procedure:

1. Edit your file ./FreshRSS/data/config.php and set 'auth_type' => 'none',
2. In the Web interface of FreshRSS, go to Configuration / Profile, and change your password
3. In the Web interface of FreshRSS, go to Administration / Authentication, and change the Authentication method back to Web Form

In addition, check the logs:

• of FreshRSS, from the Web interface of FreshRSS
• of your Web browser console
• of your Web server

Possible errors include wrong file permissions on the server and JavaScript errors.

If login via Web Form cannot work for you, it is also possible to login via HTTP Auth.

@Stegemueller Did that fix the problem?

This issue could be related to https://github.com/FreshRSS/FreshRSS/issues/1807 (fixed), in particular if you were using double authentication (HTTP authentication and Web form).
Closing, but feel free to ask again :-)
