FreshRSS not working with FeedMe

[ahelton]

I've been trying with little success to get my FreshRSS install to sync with the FeedMe app on my Android phone. Things I've done:

• I've gone into the Authentication Settings and enabled Mobile API access.
• I've also gone to the Profile Settings and tested the server configuration and it says, "Pass".
• I've copied the corresponding API address and input it in the FeedMe app together with the default username (admin) and my assigned API password.

When I click the login button in the FeedMe app after inputting the above info, everything appears to work just fine. I get no error messages. However, none of my feeds/subscriptions ever show up and when click the sync button I get the following error, "Authentication expired, please, re-authenticate now!" I've tried to re-authenticate over and over and over again, but the same thing keeps happening.

What am I doing wrong?

Have you updated to 1.13.0 (which just came out today), or are you on 1.12.0?

*edit: There was some greader API stuff that changed in 1.13.0. If you're on the new version, it may be related to that; I can't seem to replicate your issue on 1.12.0, in any case.

*edit the second: I've now tested on 1.13.0, and still can't replicate your issue, so it doesn't appear to be an API issue.

Hello,
I cannot reproduce the problem either. Work for me with FeedMe v3.9, FreshRSS 1.13.0.

How did you install FreshRSS (git, Docker, ZIP...) and on what platform?

Please make sure that the address you type in FeedMe ends with greader.php, like http://freshrss.example.net/api/greader.php.

Suggestions:

1. Update your data/config.php with the following, to get more debugging information:

'environment' => 'development',

1. Check your logs:
   
   
   
   • Web server / PHP logs
   
   
   • FreshRSS API log in ./data/users/_/log_api.txt
   
   
   • FreshRSS logs in ./data/users/you/log.txt
   
   

If you want, you are welcome to send me a temporary account on your FreshRSS instance by e-mail so I can test from my side. Otherwise, you can also test manually by following the examples at the bottom of:
https://freshrss.github.io/FreshRSS/en/users/06_Mobile_access.html

I'm still on FreshRSS 1.12.0 and FeedMe v3.8.5. I'm hosting my FreshRSS install on DigitalOcean via Cloudron.

When I initially put everything in, it take my login information just fine, but then nothing actually loads. I just get the little spinning loading icon, but none of my feeds actually show up. I am running this on a HTTPS enabled domain, so do I need to have the HTTPS connection option checked in FeedMe? I've tried enabling it, but doesn't seem to do anything.

I'm busy this morning, but will check my logs here in a bit. If that fails, then I'll set @Alkarex with a temp account to see what he can find. Thanks for the help!

Here's a photo of the error message I receive after logging in, closing the app, and then reopening it:

[Alkarex]

Hello again,
I have tested your server manually, and it looks like there is a configuration problem with nginx, which does not pass the HTTP Authorization header to PHP. Could you please post your nginx configuration and/or compare it with https://freshrss.github.io/FreshRSS/en/admins/02_Installation.html ?

Please also post the most recent entries (i.e. the bottom) of ./FreshRSS/data/users/_/log_api.txt

Another detail (unrelated to this issue): Your Web root should be inside ./FreshRSS/p/ so that the /p/ does not appear in the URL. If you change your configuration, remember to adapt your base_url in ./data/config.php accordingly.

• https://github.com/FreshRSS/FreshRSS/issues/1579#issuecomment-308504186

Alternatives include using our Docker deployment, or Apache.

@Alkarex Thank you for your help. Since I installed this via the Cloudron App that I have hosted on my VPS (Digital Ocean), I'm unsure how to get the nginx configuration information. I've contacted the Cloudron support team to see if they can advise further. I do have access the log_api.txt file, but it won't let me download it so that I can copy the log entries for you to view.

---Edit----
Got the log_api.txt file. Sent it to you earlier via email.

@Alkarex Thanks for the info! I have pushed an update for the cloudron app that should fix the problems. I will follow up with @ahelton at https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/1632/issues-with-my-freshrss-install/2. The issue was that mod rewrite was not enabled. I have also made a change so that only the paths below '/p' are exposed for security.

@Alkarex This issue has been resolved and can be closed. Thanks!

[Alkarex]

Thanks for the fix @gramakri and for the feedback @ahelton 👍

@Alkarex: I'm having the exact same issues using the official docker image. Should I open a new report, and/or send you the log_api.txt?

[Alkarex]

@sqrt Would you mind trying the freshrss/freshrss:dev version?

[bllngr]

After updating to freshrss/freshrss:dev, and setting up the account in FeedMe again (had to remove it first), it seems to work correctly. So I guess it's a case of #2235?

[Alkarex]

Thanks for the quick test @sqrt . Yes, most likely.
