It is needed for the multi-user mode to limit access to FreshRSS. You can:
./p/i/.htaccess file with a matching .htpasswd file.You can add a Cron job to launch the update script. Check the Cron documentation related to your distribution (Debian/Ubuntu, Red Hat/Fedora, Slackware, Gentoo, Arch Linux…). It’s a good idea to use the Web server user. For example, if you want to run the script every hour:
9 * * * * php /usr/share/FreshRSS/app/actualize_script.php > /tmp/FreshRSS.log 2>&1
Create /etc/cron.d/FreshRSS with:
6,36 * * * * www-data php -f /usr/share/FreshRSS/app/actualize_script.php > /tmp/FreshRSS.log 2>&1
./p/ folder on the web.
./data/ folder contains all personal data, so it is a bad idea to expose it../constants.php file defines access to application folder. If you want to customize your installation, every thing happens here../data/log/*.log files../data/config.php, and ./data/*_user.php filesTo save articles, you can use phpMyAdmin or MySQL tools:
mysqldump -u user -p --databases freshrss > freshrss.sql
