rsync: opendir "/var/www/web44/web" failed: Permission denied (13)

hello.

i have setup rsync and it now connect to master server without password, but when run a sync command:

rsync -avz --delete --exclude=**/stats --exclude=**/error --exclude=**/files/pictures -e "ssh -i /root/rsync/mirror-rsync-key" [email protected]:/var/www/ /var/www/

have this permission error:

rsync: opendir "/var/www/web7/user/web7_admin/.spamassassin" failed: Permission denied (13)
rsync: opendir "/var/www/web7/user/web7_admin/Maildir" failed: Permission denied (13)

rsync: opendir "/var/www/web7/user/web7_marcus/Maildir" failed: Permission denied (13)
rsync: opendir "/var/www/web8/.spamassassin" failed: Permission denied (13)
rsync: opendir "/var/www/web8/user/web8_info/Maildir" failed: Permission denied (13)

mmmmmmmmmmmm

 

Does rsync have root privileges? Otherwise you'll get lots of permission denied errors.

 

How can i check if rsync has root privileges? If not, how do i change it?

TIA

Do you run the rsync command as root or as another user?

 

I strictly followed the tutorial "Mirror Your Web Site With rsync".
So when i get to point "6 Test rsync On mirror.example.com", as root, a issued the command,

i get several lines like This,

 

What's the output of

Code:

ls -la /home/ligiamabutana/

?

 

drwxr-xr-x 190 root root 4096 2009-08-01 12:25 ..

I've Maildir's always generated with such permissions. Is there a way to copy it?
