similar to: Rake error after installing Capistrano

SwitchTower is a utility that can execute commands in parallel on multiple servers. It allows you to define tasks, which can include commands that are executed on the servers. You can also define roles for your servers, and then specify that certain tasks apply only to certain roles. Manual: http://manuals.rubyonrails.org/read/book/17 Project:

Well I finnally bit the bullet and upgrade to capistrano and have run into several issues that I can''t seem to find a fix for. Switchtower worked perfectly but I can not get cap to work especially with the change to the command to run a deploy. The following code worked fine in switchtower to deploy: switchtower -vvvv -S stage=stage -r config/deploy -a deploy The stage variable

I have two servers up, one will be used for production, one for testing stuff. I''d like to set things up so I can upgrade each one independently. So I could type $ rake deploy That will update the test server. I do that, test it for a few minutes/hours/days whatever, then I can put it onto the main server: $ rake deploy_production Is this possible? If so, how can I do it? Pat

Hi I''m trying to deploy an app from WinXP to a Linux host(Site5), and wondering if anyone knows the answer to this? I''ve got SwitchTower/Capistrano installed - seems to be fine. But when I try to "rake remote_exec ''remote_exec''" rake dies on me with a "Don''t know how to build task ''remote_exec''" message The

Hi! Up to now, i had no problems with my migrations and rake (rake db:migrate). Today, i got a project from a svn repository, but i can''t do "rake db:migrate": "rake aborted!

All, I have successfully executed the "deploy" task in Capistrano/Switchtower to establish a symbolic link named "current" which points to the current version of my app. on my remote server. My app. was already deployed to the existing Rails root directory (call it "appname") though. I have Apache fronting my app. through a virtual host whose doc. root is itself

All, Does anyone know if Capistrano/Switchtower actually does anything on the database server as part of the "deploy" task? I''m pretty sure that it doesn''t, but thought I would verify. Thanks, Wes -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Capistrano is a utility for executing tasks in parallel across multiple remote hosts. It was formerly known as SwitchTower. Installation: gem install capistrano Manual: http://manuals.rubyonrails.org/read/book/17 Version 1.1 introduces a few changes: * Renamed! Due to the trademark infringement debacle of last week, we had to change the name. Moving forward it will be known as

I''ve been meaning to look into using Switchtower/Capistrano for some time now, and after briefly taking a look, it seems geared towards deploying ''an application'' perhaps to multiple machines and keeping it in check in all cases. I was wanting to use it in some legacy situations where the case is more that I deploy an instance of an application multiple times, sometimes

I''ve recently upgraded my box from Ubuntu Breezy to Dapper, and for the life of me can''t figure out why I''m getting this exception thrown. I''ve switched from Switchtower to Capistrano, and when I run rake deploy I get this output: ** [update_code] exception while rolling back: NameError, uninitialized constant Net::SSH::Transport::OSSL

I am using the shovel deploy.rb from http://nubyonrails.com/pages/shovel I have SwitchTower-ized my app, copied the shovel deploy.rb file and put my settings in it. But when I run "rake remote_exec ACTION=setup_lighty" from the local app root it has no effect. It should prompt for a password for at least throw an error? I just get returned to the DOS prompt. If I do "rake

I''m having a little bit of difficulty deploying my app. I''ve run the setup and it works with Cap, but when I try to deploy it hangs at "querying latest revision". I can access my svn locally (I''m on a windows xp sp2 machine) using SubClipse plugin, but not through the command line though (yes, svn client is installed). I''m pretty sure that

Jamis, I''ve spent hours trying to get Capistrano working, to no avail. I''m hosting over at www.railsplayground.com, and here''s their instructions I''ve been following: http://tinyurl.com/hyo93 I can''t get past step 7. When I execute "rake remote:setup", I get a rake aborted! message. When I do a "rake --tasks", I get only a

I''ve been following some tutorials on how to get switchtower working on dreamhost. I got the setup to work just fine, but the rake deploy doesn''t work. I get the following error. any ideas? ---------------------------------------------- > rake deploy (in /home/.interim/i8ramin/work/yaram.com) loading configuration

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?

Hi all, I''m attempting to set up a new Rails app using Typo. I''ve downloaded the Typo 2.6.0 edition which includes Rails 1.0 and it works fine. I''ve set up version control with SVN and checked out a new working copy. I''ve run Capistrano -A on the application and it''s set up my deploy.rb and lib/tasks/capistrano.rake. Rake doesn''t seem

Hi, I am constantly getting an error when I use the rake command to do a migration or even use drop, this happened after I installed some plugins such as paperclip and seed-fu. The error is: rake aborted! uninitialized constant PKG_NAME /var/www/html/quote/Rakefile:10 The Rakefile looks like this: # Add your own tasks in files placed in lib/tasks ending in .rake, # for example

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
