[sandbox] need Apache/.htaccess/rsync help
A bit off-topic, but I don't know who the maintainer of the boost-sandbox project on sourceforge.net is. I use this project to post updated documentation for my boost libraries. (For instance, see <http://boost-sandbox.sourceforge.net/libs/xpressive>.) Today, I tried to update Proto's docs using a script I wrote for this purpose eons ago: #!/bin/sh rsync --delete --rsh=ssh --recursive html/* eric_niebler,boost-sandbox@web.sourceforge.net:/home/groups/b/bo/boost-sandbox/htdocs/libs/proto/doc/html For ages, this has Just Worked, but for some reason, it has recently stopped working. I thought I'd check here before requesting support from SF.net. The behavior I'm now seeing is that I get 403 error for any page in Proto's docs. See: http://boost-sandbox.sourceforge.net/libs/proto/doc/html/index.html The error says: "3. Error notes: Server unable to read htaccess file, denying access to be safe" Wha'? Any help? FYI, here's sf.net's docs on rsync over ssh. From what I can tell, I'm doing everything right: http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sourceforge/wiki/Rsync%20over%20SSH#Project... -- Eric Niebler BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com

Hrm, OK. Two more questions: (1) How did you determine this? I haven't figured out how to browse the directories there. (2) How do I fix it? -- Eric Niebler BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com

I used ssh following the directions at http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sourceforge/wiki/Shell%20service

If you're the owner, you should be able to chmod it. You could also do this in the rsync command using the chmod option: -p --chmod=D755,F644 I think. In Christ, Steven Watanabe

Ah! SF took away shell access a while back and didn't know they re-enabled it. W00t!

If you're the owner, you should be able to chmod it.
Yeah, this was easy to fix once I had remote shell access. Thx.
You could also do this in the rsync command using the chmod option:
-p --chmod=D755,F644
-p was the magic missing bit. Don't know about the chmod option -- rsync didn't like it. Thanks, proto's docs are back online. -- Eric Niebler BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
