Hello Everybody, I was searching for an answer myself for quite some time without success, so I hope somebody can clarify...I use rsync to sync webcontent from one server to another.
Apache-details: * Apache runs as nobody:nogroup. * Source-Server-Rights htdocs: The rsync-user gains access via o+rx * Destination-Server-Rights htdocs: The rsync-user is in the group 'nogroup', gains access via owner rsync-user and g+rwx, htdocs-group is 'nogroup' I use the following command: /usr/bin/rsync -topglrcze ssh --delete --force --exclude='example.zip' /vol/www/example/htdocs/ u...@destination-server:/vol/www/example/htdocs/ This works fine except in the following scenarios: 1. On the destination-server in e.g. /vol/www/example/htdocs/test there already is an 'example.zip' --> I will receive the following error: "cannot delete non-empty directory". I tried to overcome this with a rsync-filter, but without success. How can I use the exclude-pattern even if such an excluded file exists on the destination server ? 2. Whenever the Apache-Process of the destination server writes in its webfolder (e.g. /vol/www/example/htdocs/test/example.htm with nobody:nogroup) the rsync-user, even has full rights via 'nogroup', will give me an "Operation not permitted" wth the next synchronisation. In both cases the problem seems not to be about file or folder rights, it's about having files on the destination-server, which weren't synced from the source-server. Any help greatly appreciated, thanks. Carsten -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
