What would you like us to help you with???? The error is VERY clear...it's telling you that whatever user ID you're using, does not have permissions to open that directory. So, either use sudo in your script, change the permissions of the directory, or use a different ID. I'd first suggest reading some of your previous threads, going back years...the answers haven't changed:

Also, you need to read the Question Guidelines link in my posting signature...you aren't giving us ANY details at all; version/distro of Linux, contents of that perl program, or even what permissions on that directory. Without details, there is nothing we can help with.

From the information you posted it would seem the user running the rsync command does not have permission to writ to the "db/pluto/test" directory. Are the source and destination on the same machine? is it on a network? Who is the owner:group and what are the permissions?

Hi Guys,

I have two servers dc2db01 and dc2db02 used as (primary and secondary for MYSQL DB) there is user pluto on both the servers and db test is located on "/db/pluto/test" i am trying to copy test from dc2db01 to "/db/pluto/test" on dc2db02. When i am creating a DB for customers generally we run a perl script, it is first ran on dc2db01 and then on dc2bd02.IN case of dc2db02 it trys to copy db from primary server dc2db01 and fails with a permission denied error.

pluto user has below permission

drwx - -

Again, you STILL aren't providing enough details. Again, the error is very clear...whoever you're running the script as does not have permissions to read that directory specified. You aren't providing the script, or telling us anything about how these things are set up, or even telling us what version/distro of Linux you're using.

Since it's working on one server and not another, then it's very clear there is a DIFFERENCE between the two. Identify it.
