FreshRSS on external attached drive?
reddit / selfhosted

I'm going to post this in FreshRSS first, but I need to be approved
there first. So, in the meantime (as this seems to be mostly a self-
hosted Apache2 question:

I'm trying to get FreshRSS to run with apache2 on my Raspberry Pi. It
runs fine and is currently in /usr/share as per the setup for
Raspberry Pi listed here: [https://pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-
freshrss/](https://pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-freshrss/)

I can see the page from localhost with a very basic apache2 config. It
sets up great.

However, I want to move my FreshRSS directory to an external (locally
connected) drive which is at: /media/pi/TIMEMACHINE/FreshRSS

I tried moving it with sudo mv, and that went fine. Then I linked it
in /usr/share with a Symlink, still pointing the apache2 root to
/usr/share/FreshRSS

I set the the chown etc... to www-data in the
/media/pi/TIMEMACHINE/FreshRSS

And I get a 403 error when I try to hit my site. I've been over this
for the last 7 hours and I'm going to end up tearing my hair out.

If anyone can please let me know how to do this, it would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks!

/r/LinuxQuestions and /r/Linux4Noobs

But https://github.com/FreshRSS/FreshRSS/discussions also exists.

Thanks. I was not aware of the discussions area for FreshRSS.

I thought this was also a place to ask such questions? Am I wrong?

Feel free to ask whatever questions you want.

But this sub here is not a techsupport-for-every-possible-software
subreddit.

And when your question is about a problem with a single specific
software, and that software project provides their own forum or
similar for their community, then it just makes much more sense to ask
directly there.
