I'm a complete noob in all gcloud I was trying to setup an rsync module to have a sharecenter box do backup on a set schedule, which I was able to do on o centOS with digital ocean but somehow I can't get the same thing setup on a centOS vm instance in gcloud
here are my settings and all info I was able to gather about the issue I'm having
==================
my /etc/rsyncd.conf
motd file = /etc/rsyncd.motd
log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log
pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid
lock file = /var/run/rsync.lock
[moodleic]
path = /home/FranciscoCortes/backups
comment = backup module for moodle backup files folder defined in path
read only = no
list = yes
uid = nobody
gid = nobody
auth users = FranciscoCortes
secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.secrets
use chroot = no
hosts allow = *
==================
the path actualy exist
[FranciscoCortes@centos6 backups] cd /home/FranciscoCortes/backups/ [FranciscoCortes@centos6 backups]
================
the module exist
[FranciscoCortes@centos6 ~]$ rsync -va rsync://FranciscoCortes@localhost/
moodleic backup module for moodle backup files folder defined in path
================
the permissions on the folder seem ok
[FranciscoCortes@centos6 ~]$ ls -l
total 8
drwxrwxr-x. 2 FranciscoCortes FranciscoCortes 4096 Jan 7 21:37 backups
================
sudo netstat -tulpn
tcp 0 0 :::873 :::* LISTEN 17096/xinetd
================
cat /etc/services | grep rsync
rsync 873/tcp # rsync
rsync 873/udp # rsync
================
but the error I get is this
[FranciscoCortes@centos6 ~]$ rsync -va rsync://FranciscoCortes@localhost/moodleic/
Password: @ERROR: chdir failed rsync error: error starting client-server protocol (code 5) at main.c(1503) [receiver=3.0.6]
================
the rsync error log shows this
2015/01/09 01:21:20 [16987] unable to bind any inbound sockets on port 873
2015/01/09 01:21:20 [16987] rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at socket.c(541) [receiver=3.0.6]
2015/01/09 01:25:37 [17118] connect from localhost (::1)
2015/01/09 01:25:48 [17118] rsync: chdir /home/FranciscoCortes/backups failed
: Permission denied (13)
================
I've tried to set the uid and gid the same as the user authorized on the secrets file which is already the owner of the folder in the path so I'm not sure why I would get the permission denied.
I'm I missing something??
Any help is appreciated.
