Hello, Iam trying to use Shovel deployment as explained here http://nubyonrails.com/pages/shovel. Iam currently using windows as my development environment and *nix to deploy the application. I have changed all the dispatch.* files to be executable. but when I run rake remote_exec ACTION=setup_lighty it asks for my password and installs lighttpd and other stuff, but fails on task update_code.

I''ve been trying to configure SwitchTower to perform deployment of my app to a Dreamhost server. I can run rake remote_exec ACTION=setup just fine but rake deploy keeps giving me errors when its checking out the latest revision from the Subversion repository on the same Dreamhost server. It displays errors like this: loading configuration c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/switchtower-0.1

I''m trying to use SwitchTower to deploy from XP to Dreamhost. Based on <http://nubyonrails.com/pages/shovel_dreamhost>, my deploy.rb looks like: set :user, ''dankohn'' set :application, "flydash.com" set :repository, "http://svn.flydash.com/flydash/flydash" #set :repository, "svn+ssh://home/#{user}/svn/flydash" #set :repository,

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

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''m trying to get switchtower to work with CVS. I see "querying latest revision..." and then it states "[update_code] transaction: rollback" I''m open to any and all suggestions at this point. I put some logging statements in the switchtower code and it seems to fail at this statement in switchtower-0.10.0/lib/switchtower/scm/cvs.rb @latest_revision =

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,

I''ve been deploying local applications into production (both linux boxes) with Switchtower, and I''ve had no problems, until now. I just tried doing a "rake deploy", and I get this error: ============ [update_code] exception while rolling back: NameError, uninitialized constant OSSL rake aborted! no such file to load -- openssl ============ Now, on both the production

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

Hi, Has anyone experiences using SwitchTower (Windows) in a shared hosting environment (Textdrive)? I already patched the SwitchTower rake tasks (I don''t know if someone is interested on it), but i still experience some problems (not in the sudoers list, ...). Thank you for answer (and thank you to the textdrive guys, i never had a such fast support!) -- Jean-Etienne Durand

When I define :db to be a different server than either :web or :app, and run "rake deploy". Switchtower will abort with an Net::SSH::AuthenticationFailed error. The version of Switchtower I''m using is 1.0.0 and the deploy task is the default supplied with Switchtowe. However, I dont have any problem when :db is changed to the same as :web and :app. -------------- next part

I am just about to dive into Switchtower, but had a thought (go figure?). Could Switchtower use be inverted? Could user, clients, or customers install switchtower and "pull" applications? Just a thought. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

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:

would it be possible to get another beta gem posted for switchtower? core rails has been getting nice regular updates to the beta gems, but switchtower is still back at 1962.

I use Switchtower to deploy my Ruby on Rails application, which works great. However, it appears to be doing a SVN checkout, which includes all the .svn directories as well. I would rather do an export from SVN. Is it possible to configure Switchtower to do this, or can I extend it in the deploy.rb? I haven''t been able to find any examples on the internet so far. thanks, Jeroen

Hi I have a problem here. I am developing an application which has a local development environment (on my harddisk), a second one for my customer (for testing new features) and a production environment which runs actual application online. How can I setup SwitchTower to have a possibility to deploy just for a particular server? Thanks, Peter

Hi all, I''m wondering if "rake freeze_gems" will freeze SwitchTower as well. If it doesn''t, I could try to modify the rake task at [1] to freeze extra gems such as switchtower into vendor/ (the rake task at [1] freezes gems into lib/ which I disagree with). Is there anyone else actually using a "frozen" SwitchTower? If so, what did you do to freeze it with a

Finally getting my app up and running with Switchtower. I am also using file_column in my project. By default, it creates a directory for each model under ''public'' and goes from there. I have users adding files in my production application and those files they added aren''t managed under SVN as they aren''t part of the app, they are added content. Plus, since
