If you are asking for support for an issue, please include the following information at the top of your post:
- Freedombox is plugged directly into home router and each port is forwarded seperately.
- Purchased Pioneer Freedombox probably somtime in 2019. Can’t remember.
- The version of FreedomBox your are running: I can’t access the menu to show me the version, but I flashed my SD Card with the latest “
freedombox-stable_pioneer_a20-olinuxino-lime2-armhf.img”
This is the 5th time I’ve encountered this error, and had to reflash the SD card with a new freedombox, but I am tired of reflashing and it takes days to download all apps, and I would like to find a solution instead of reflashing.
I flashed my Pioneer Freedombox with the latest stable image of freedombox. I installed many apps from the web interface. Then I installed an app that I can’t remember. During or after that app installation from the web interface, the web interface stopped working and I can no longer connect to “freedombox.local”. Note: Before it stopped working, I disabled logging from the web interface, so I’m not sure debug logs will be on the server, let alone where I can access them.
I CAN ssh into my freedombox successfully, and when I do, I run sudo service apache2 status, which shows that apache2 is not running. I then run sudo service apache2 start, and apache2 shows it is now running. Then I try accessing freedombox from freedombox.local in the web interface. Again, no connection. Instead I get
This site can’t be reached
**freedombox** refused to connect.
Try:
* Checking the connection
* [Checking the proxy and the firewall](chrome-error://chromewebdata/#buttons)
ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
When I access freedombox via ssh, and run sudo journalctl the only errors in the log that show up are the following:

There are no logs in /var/log/apache2/*.
I’m not sure what is going wrong here, where to look for relavent logs, and how to fix this issue. I would like to get my Freedombox Local Web interface working again, but have no Idea how, and I’ve done this like 6 times now. Could someone please guide me to a fix or tell me how to debug and fix this from ssh? I’m not even sure the logs I SHOULD be looking at.
Any help is much appreciated as I really don’t want to flash and reinstall freedombox all over again.
Thanks
