Rsync help: directory information not updated.

[japtar10101]

Note that I had rsync running perfectly until i moved my files.

My files were all over the place, so to make it more organized, I moved all of my rsync backup directories to ~/rsync/, and updated /etc/rsyncd.conf accordingly. Now my host computers can't seem to recognize the new locations of the backup files. How can I fix this?

For reference, here's the updated /etc/rsyncd.conf file:
motd file = /etc/rsyncd.motd
log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log
pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid
lock file = /var/run/rsync.lock
max connections = 3

What error messages are you seeing in the logs? What user is your rsync script running under and what are your directory permissions on your data directories?

Sorry, I should have been more clear. The error specifically says:
rsync --verbose --progress --stats --compress --rsh=/usr/bin/ssh --recursive --times --perms myserver.com:testing .

This is true. I moved the /home/taro/testing directory to /home/taro/rsync/testing. I would like to keep my current directory settings, since it's much more organized, but have the rsync recognize the update I've made.

Also, rsync is (probably) running under root, but the directory permissions goes to me.

rsync --verbose --progress --stats --compress --rsh=/usr/bin/ssh --recursive --times --perms myserver.com:testing ....Or I could add "rsync" to that path: "myserver.com:rsync/testing".
...And it works.
*facepalm*
I don't know why that didn't cross my mind before....Anyway, call this fixed.

myserver.com:testing .
this is where you went wrong.
written like this, the path refers to an actual directory, relative to the home directory you logon with at the remote system hence /home/taro/testing.

This syntax completely ignores the rsync.conf.

To refer to a 'rsync' share defined in rsync.conf , you write
myserver.com::testing note the double "::"
In this case, 'testing' refers to the path defined under [testing] in rsync.conf. It requires rsync to be running in daemon mode on the target server, but that might be enabled by default.

Thanks. That clears everything up!
