hello , i can’t see rsync from my computer to remote server.if it’s not in `/usr/bin` directory. my rsync binary compiled from repo github [https://github.com/RsyncProject/rsync](https://rsync) is installed in `/usr/local/bin` directory my rsync version is : `alexandre@ubuntu:~/rsync$ rsync rsync version 3.4.1-8-g9994933c protocol version 32 Copyright (C) 1996-2025 by Andrew Tridgell, Wayne Davison, and others.

Your `PATH` export only contains `/usr/local`, not `/usr/local/bin`, you might want to fix that 🙂 ---

no it doesn’t work because `/usr/local` contains `/usr/local/bin` Regards ---

Do you mean, you have a real problem _if_ you remove the above `file` task? (I ran the task with that group, owner, and `{{ symfony_root }}` defined, and the task itself works fine.) That would indicate that `{{ symfony_root }}` doesn’t exist on your target machine. (?) How does the problem manifest? That is, what happens, or fails to happen, if you remove that task? ---

yes ! i’ve this problem if i remove the `file` task ! i’m still looking into why there is problem with ansible script but my rsync binary, in my remote server is owned by: ```auto alexandre@ubuntu:~$ sudo ls -la /usr/bin/rsync [sudo] Mot de passe de alexandre : -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1640408 juil. 10 00:10 /usr/bin/rsync alexandre@ubuntu:~$ ``` and i still have the same problem with this _yml_ code: ```auto - hosts: servers become: yes vars: symfony_root: /var/www/AnalyticaTechCode local_project_root: "/home/alexandre/Documents/AnalyticaTechCode" tasks: - debug: msg: "Ansible version: {{ ansible_version.full }}" - name: Ensure correct permissions on symfony_root file: path: "{{ symfony_root }}" state: directory owner: www-data group: www-data mode: '0755' recurse: yes - name: Synchronize project files ansible.posix.synchronize: src: "{{ local_project_root }}/" dest: "{{ symfony_root }}" compress: true delete: no # Ne pas supprimer les fichiers qui n'existent pas dans la source rsync_opts: - "--exclude=.git" - "--exclude=*.sh" - "--exclude=/vendor" - "--exclude=var/cache/*" # Pour éviter de synchoniser le cache local - "--exclude=var/log/*" # Pour éviter de synchoniser les logs locaux - "--exclude=.env.local" # Pour préserver le fichier .env.local de prod - "-v" delegate_to: localhost become: yes become_user: www-data - name: Clear Symfony cache become: yes become_user: www-data shell: cd {{ symfony_root }} && symfony console cache:clear --env=prod args: executable: /bin/bash ``` i will look that more precisely tomorrow Regards ---

[ENG] hello, that’s it I found!! unless you said it above and I misunderstood. I cannot send files, if I am not the same user who owns the folder as the one with which I send files, that is to say `alexandre`. It doesn’t matter which group has the project folders, before and after sending the files. I can only then put as owner user `www-data`, and `www-data` group owner, after sending the files!! Sincerely, Yours [FRA] bonjour, ça y est j’ai trouvé !! À moins que vous l’ayez dit plus haut et que j’ai mal compris. Je ne peux pas envoyer des fichiers ,si je ne suis pas le même utilisateur qui possède le dossier que celui avec lequel j’envoie des fichiers, c’est à dire `alexandre`. Le groupe possédant les dossier du projet n’a pas d’importance, avant et après avoir envoyé les fichiers. Je ne peux qu’ensuite mettre comme utilistateur propriétaire `www-data`, et `www-data` groupe propriétaire, après avoir envoyé les fichiers !! Cordialement Vôtre ---

my ansible version is : `2.18.6`, and for `synchronization` task: `become_user: www-data` doesn’t work, but i don’t know why, see my script here : ```auto - name: Synchronize project files ansible.posix.synchronize: src: "{{ local_project_root }}/" dest: "{{ symfony_root }}" compress: true delete: no # Ne pas supprimer les fichiers qui n'existent pas dans la source rsync_opts: - "--exclude=.git" - "--exclude=*.sh" - "--exclude=/vendor" - "--exclude=var/cache/*" # Pour éviter de synchoniser le cache local - "--exclude=var/log/*" # Pour éviter de synchoniser les logs locaux - "--exclude=.env.local" # Pour préserver le fichier .env.local de prod - "-v" delegate_to: localhost become: yes become_user: www-data ``` Regards ---
