Today I got an error in deploying with rsconnect to the bookdown server. It says Error: HTTP 403:
You cannot change the type of application once deployed. Try deploying this as a new application instead of updating an existing one.
What does it mean that I have changed the type of application? I am working with the same files but from a new MacBook Pro. Could this be the reason? Or could it be related to changes in my GitHub repository?
What should I do? How do I force to deploy a new application?
The only times I've seen encountered this problem is when I deployed an R Markdown, and THEN changed the same Markdown to be parameterized. Since a Parameterized Markdown is a different content type I had to deploy to a different endpoint.
It's not entirely clear from your post, but it seems you might be using Git backed deployment?
If you are using Git backed deployment, you should probably start a fresh deployment using the "Publish" button in the Connect GUI:
If, instead, you are not using git backed deployment, but the push-button deployment (or using the rsconnect interface) then you can force a new deployment by changing the document name.
