similar to: Capistrano - how do I set up the database config?

Hi. I am using BackgrounDRb to process thumbnails and upload to S3 - things are hunky-dory in development (thumbs are generated, these are uploaded to S3, the metadata is saved to trhe DB, and I get a nice status page updated by periodic calls via ask_status), but when I tried to deploy to our staging server and stop/start BackgrounDRb via Capistrano, things blew up - well, not exactly,

How does one configure capistrano for moving local file to your remote server? In the docs it says that one cannot use file:// so what''s the configuration step for resolving this issue?

For those who want use switchtower to deploy to a remote server that does not have access to the main subversion repository, here is a task I just hacked up to use switchtower to deploy to my servers by copying a local directory to the servers, rather than have the servers use svn checkout. I actually create my local directory using an svn export, but you can do whatever you like here, and just

Hi all, I want to love capistrano and I''m so close. My error is occuring while running the update_code task...

I have everything set up that I need - SVN, webserver (Apache2.2), mongrels, etc. Capistrano is deploying the site well enough, to a point. I need to create sym-links to my file-column created content directories (in shared) and copy the database.yml file (also from shared) into the current folder. I''ve written the following task: desc "Copy the database config file over and set

Hello, I am trying to figure out how to use switch tower.I have a local copy of source code and I want to put it on the host.Now I dont want to put directories like config/ because the settings on the host and the one on my machine are different. Any way to do this? Also is svn necessary to use SwitchTower? Vivek -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

hi, i''m just getting started using switchtower for deployment. i''m working with a small team of 3 and a hosted subversion repository. i have switchtower working, but i need to create two custom tasks and have those tasks run at deployment. 1) copy a working dispatch.fcgi from another folder, and 2) copy db/database.example to db/database.yml here is what i''ve tried,

My needs are far more modest than Capistrano''s capabilities. Also, when working in a shared hosting environment, the Capistrano model can be outside the capabilities allowed by the Web host. I simply need to push selected directories (on a changed-file basis) out to a server. I have about 80% of the code written to do this (I''m considering YAC for the name, with a nod to

Hello all, i changed today from my local repository to a repository on a server. The repository now lies on the same server where my application is going to be deployed. Everything went fine create my repository on the server and checked out my working copy. After some changes on the code i wanted to deploy my application but it failed. The error is: "svn: Network connection closed

I am fighting with this for 5 days... i''m getting crazy! Here is my deploy.rb: require "bundler/capistrano" require "rvm/capistrano" # Load RVM''s capistrano plugin. set :rvm_ruby_string, :local # Or whatever env you want it to run in. ''1.9.3'' set :domain, ''www.xxx.com'' set :application,

Hi all, I am out of my head here... I have a 3 node cluster with 10 mongrels running on each. When I deploy, I break all the mongrels every time. I have tried just about everything. I can restart my mongrels without a hitch manually, it''s only when I use cap deploy. Maybe I am missing something here... so if I can get some help it would be appreciated. The errors are the typical mongrel

I''ve created a couple of tasks in my deploy.rb file for starting and stopping backgroundrb on the remote server. The stop task runs fine and kills the process. And the start task *seems* to run successfully, but backgroundrb is never started on the remote host. Has anyone had success with this? Here are my deploy tasks: desc ''Start backgroundrb server (default

I have a few projects with large directories (say, user-uploaded files) that make using Capistrano a bit awkward. However, I suspect that I may have reached the "write a custom task" level. (I suppose I''m just thinking out loud, here...) It seems as though I''d want this directories symlinked in /shared... Maybe there''s a way to extend the

Hi everyone, I''ve been sold on the whole idea of using Capistrano for deployment of my sites and have successfully deployed three apps in three different environments all with success. As I''m trying to configure my sites I''ve encountered a number of issues/questions hence this post. 1. Database.yml Twice I''ve been stumped by apps refusing to work on

I''m finding the :before_task and :after_task facilities in Capistrano very useful. For example, I needed to add a shared directory to my system. All I had to do was add a few lines to deploy.rb: desc "Add shared usr_img directory to shared" task :after_setup do run <<-CMD mkdir -p -m 775 #{shared_path}/user_img CMD end desc "Link shared usr_img directory

Hi everyone, What are other people doing with regards to database.yml being in version control? My dilema: I set up my rails app in svn using these instructions: http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowtoUseRailsWithSubversion The part to note is where I ignore database.yml, allowing different developers to keep their own database.yml without clobbering other developers'' files.

Greetings, Today I''ve been working out how to begin using Capistrano and so far I''m impressed. Even in my situation, learning Rails and deploying to a single server, it''s incredibly helpful. I do have one small question though: In using Subversion I''ve used the "ignore" feature to ignore my local database.yml file, because my local database and

I have a project under Subversion, deployed by Capistrano. When it is deployed, obviously I need to deploy "real" copies of database.yml, deploy.rb, and maybe a couple of other files. But if I offer it for public checkout, I obviously do not want these files as part of the checked out code. What''s the best way to handle this? --Al Evans -- Posted via

Quick question: I am going to use the file_column plugin to manage uploading thumbnails. By default the images are stored in the public/ dir of the rails project. The problem I see is that when capistrano redeploys a new build and symlinks it in none of the images will be in the new public/ dir... Does anyone have a solution for this? Thanks, Zack -------------- next part -------------- An

Hello, Can someone explain me why Capistrano deploys rails code to both :web and :db roles, not only to :app role, which is the only role that actually needs this code. In my setup I do not want to give any SSH access to :db servers other than server management, which is done outside Capistrano. So why Capistrano migrate task needs this access while it could to it from :app server, which
