I just installed FreshRSS and when trying to log in, I get this message :  
Error 403 - Forbidden  
Vous n’avez pas le droit d’accéder à cette page ! [HTTP Remote-User= ; Remote IP address=XXXX]

I’m also receiving mails saying :  
Cron [freshrss@xxx](mailto:freshrss@xxx) /usr/bin/php8.4 /var/www/freshrss/app/actualize\_script.php \>/var/log/freshrss/freshrss.log 2\>&1

Where do I start to solve this?

You need to be logged in to the ynh portal with the user you selected as the admin when installing freshrss.

Can you run

```auto
namei -l /var/log/freshrss/freshrss.log

```

If it is not owned by `freshrss:freshrss`:

`chown -R freshrss:freshrss /var/log/freshrss`

Permissions should be 750 for the folder and 644 for the file:

`chmod 750 /var/log/freshrss`  
`chmod 644 /var/log/freshrss/freshrss.log`
