Cannot access to repository

[Nicolas THOREZ]

Hi.

I've got a problem to access repository.

I have installed the server (Debian 12, fresh install) and a client (Win11). Backup is OK but when I want to browse repository as admin and as user, I get a 403 error.

Here, the logs :

[2025-03-28 14:24:20,316][DEBUG  ][10.30.3.10][nicolas.thorez][CP Server Thread-8][rdiffweb.core.librdiff] pid [4050] does not exists

Can someone help me, please ?

Hello Nicolas,

Are you using symlink ? If any of the folder to your repository is a symbolic link, this error gets raised. I will not get into the technicalities, but this is required as a security measure.

Hi.

You're right. My repository was a symlink of a mounted hard drive. I've changed this configuration and, now, it's correctly working. Thanks a lot.
