If the user is not an admin user, I get an "API is not enabled" error. 
According to
the web interface, the External API is enabled and appears to be functioning.

Hi,

Thanks for your report.

For the second point, enabling API seems to be a per-user setting, which 
default to
"false". So even if your admin user has API enabled to true, new users will 
have it
set to false. Can you double-check this ?

There is also a recurrent problem in ttrss-reader when changing credentials,
sometimes changes are not applied immediately. Can you try the following :

1) Make sure credentials are correct;
2) Kill ttrss-reader (in application management, or by using a task-killer);
3 Restart ttrss-reader;

I went ahead and did a clean reinstall of ttrss-reader, carefully 
double-checking my
credentials. I still get the login error on my admin account and "api in not 
enabled"
on any of my other user accounts.

"Enable external API" is enabled on both accounts.

Very strange...

Maybe we should found who is faulty, ttrss or ttrss-reader... Can you try to 
navigate
to the following url in your browser ?

http://example.dom/path/to/tt-rss/api/?op=login&user=you&password=xxx

(Obviously change the url, user and password values).

For both the admin and user account.

Well, that narrows down one thing, it's ttrss' fault.

http://example.dom/path/to/tt-rss/api/?op=login&user=you&password=xxx

(appropriately pointed at my domain and admin user)

Resulted in:

{"error":"LOGIN_ERROR"}

So I guess there's something wrong with my installation.

Yes, i think so...

I'll wait some days before closing this one, hope you will find a solution.

I did a re-installation of my server recently, and while setting tt-rss back up 
I stumbled on something. It seems that my previous login issueswere caused by 
having an ampersand "&" in my password.

Same pb: i had a # and had the same error. No "#" = no error :)

Had the same problem but my password had "/". I think password needs to be 
escaped.
