403 -Forbidden

[fometeo]

Thank you very much tgtechno ! after reading this thread I tried still some "rational" approaches, all failed, then your solution worked just hope this hint goes into the wiki as this bug is a killer for NAS4Free. better still is of course making it work as I am sure developers will make.

Hi Guys,

is there any chance to allow host from different subnets thru shell?
I've checked hosts.allow - there is ALL | ALL | ALLOW
I've checked rc.conf - firewall_client_net is set to local subnet, and if I change it, somehow it gets overwritten after reboot.

The Problem is, that the machine is in a separated subnet, and I definetally have no chance to get any client in this subnet, so I can't access the GUI.
Help would be appriciated.

This was posted above and it is it...

IIRC, via ssh you can edit lighttpd. conf, restart lighttpd and webui is accessible again. You can then enter webui, insert desired range in webui and it will survive the reboot.
Temporar fix, I know...
And I agree that this setting should be disabled by default. In the future I suppose it will be fixed.

Hello, Can someone tell me what to edit in lighttpd. conf to get around the 403 error? After a reboot my nas4free server works perfectly except that I cannot access the web GUI.

Found the fix...

Start by remounts the CF RW.

Code: Select all

umount /cf && mount -o rw /cf

Next edit the config file...

Code: Select all

nano /cf/conf/config.xml

Edit this line;

Code: Select all

<hostsallow>192.168.0.0/16 172.16.0.0/8</hostsallow>

From this section;

Code: Select all

                <webgui>
                        <protocol>http</protocol>
                        <certificate>...
                        <privatekey>...
                        <hostsallow>192.168.0.0/16 172.16.0.0/8</hostsallow>
                        <port/>
                </webgui>

Then unmount the flash and reboot.

Found the fix...
Start by remounts the CF RW.

Code: Select all

umount /cf && mount -o rw /cf

I can't unmount /cf

Code: Select all

umount: unmount of /cf failed: Device busy

I have type in "hosts allow"

Code: Select all

0.0.0.0/1 128.0.0.0/2 192.0.0.0/3 224.0.0.0/4 240.0.0.0/5 248.0.0.0/6 252.0.0.0/7 254.0.0.0/8

how said armandh, but after that I have recieved "503 - Service Not Available".
I have reset host allow from NAS localy (by keyboard connected directly to the server) and I was able to open WebGUI.
But after a reboot I got the error 503 again.
Now I have folowwing config.xml

Code: Select all

                <webgui>
                        <protocol>https</protocol>
                        <certificate>...t</certificate>
                        <privatekey>...t</privatekey>
                        <hostsallow/>
                        <port>8080</port>
                        <hostsallow_disable/>
                </webgui>

and wasn't able to open WebGUI.
