luci-app-tinyfilemanager 403 Forbidden error

After a fresh install I get 403 Forbiden nginx/1.26.1 error. Is there an option I have to change to get it to work?

If I go to http:///tinyfilemanager/index.php it downloads a file, so something it working, just not the file management side of things.

Please try install php-nginx

I can't install php-nginx due to me being on version 24.10 which doesn't seem to have support for the two dependencies luci-nginx and luci-ssl-nginx. I'm using GL-iNet software with Flint 2 Router and my two choices are version 21 or version 24, so either too old or too new. I'll just wait a while and see if I can install it all at a later time. Thanks so much for your help, I'll report back once its working.

24.10 has a smaller file manager luci-app-filemanager officially provided by openwrt, maybe you can also try it.

The official firmware from openwrt contains luci-nginx and luci-ssl-nginx. But in my test, nginx does not work in version 24.10 If possible, it is recommended to switch back to openwrt official default webserver uhttpd.

luci-app-filemanager isn't listed for me. From more research it appears that a nginx package isn't available as it clashes with the gl-inet's default web UI. I'll consider switching to vanilla OpenWrt or just using WinSCP.

Hi, I'm on the 23.05 version, installed php-nginx and it still doesn't work
