After upgrading to v7 I now see Forbidden when trying to connect via web browser

[SeldenBlack]

Hello All, 

I recently upgraded to v7 and I can connect and configure my 3 Pi's but after a while, I try to connect again and I get this message. This is happening on all 3 Pi's in my setup. A reboot will get me back in for a bit and then the issue will happen again. Any ideas on how to fix this? I did not enable the password to access the web setup.

The upgrade did not succeed, reimage the SD card.

I believe that they are moving away from Apache and the upgrade did not properly deal with the files that it uses.  As darylc said, your best bet it to either reimage the existing SD card or replace it with a new imaged SD card.  If the existing card has a few years on it, I would consider replacing it with a new one.

Thanks, everyone. I will give it a try.

You can likely ssh in (username fpp, password falcon, assuming you didn't change it) and just do "rm /home/fpp/media/config/.htaccess"  and then reboot.   I believe it should be recreated on boot.
