February 07 2016
If you may get an error when you start rsync service, rsync is not running, you need to check the rsync status. You can check with below commands,
Error :
root@thelinuxfaq:~# /etc/init.d/rsync status
* rsync is not running
root@thelinuxfaq:~# /etc/init.d/rsync start
root@thelinuxfaq:~# /etc/init.d/rsync status
root@thelinuxfaq:~# /etc/init.d/rsync status
* rsync is not running
Solution:
By default the rsync default configuration located in /etc/default/rsync, so you need to check in /etc/init.d/rsync file and line is
root@thelinuxfaq:~# vim /etc/init.d/rsync
RSYNC_CONFIG_FILE=/etc/rsyncd.conf
Copy the file /etc/default/rsync to /etc/rsyncd.conf
:wq!
Now, start the rsync service and check the status.
