Hi there, The default recipe expects you to be able to access your web server directly from your local machine. On our web server, for security purposes, it is only possible to ssh to it through one particular ip (which is also a remote machine.) The capistrano source is so compact and tidy it looks very hackable. But rather than messing around I thought I''d ask first if anyone else has any ideas? Cheers Henry

I''d probably leave the deploy task alone and create before_deploy and after_deploy tasks that did whatever you need to do. If you can tunnel through the intermediate host, this is pretty easy to do. If you have more restrictive networking rules that block port forwarding, and you can run code on the intermediate server, you could just do ssh user@particularip ''cd /path/to && rake deploy'' My memory is that this will send the sudo prompt back to you, but I could be wrong about that. In some production environments, this might be the easiest way to go. -- Ray
Greetings,
I''ve set up apache as a proxy for my lightTPD server as describe in JDD
essay: http://duncandavidson.com/essay/2006/01/railsonapache
Everything works great except if I try to access my site like this:
http://softdist6.berkeley.edu
Then my webrowser tries to download the dispatch.fcgi from the webdir of
my app. I have no idea why this is happening. If I do
softdist6.berkeley.edu/all or any sub directory of softdist6.berkeley.edu
then everything works fine.
My lighthttpd.conf and vhost.conf files are below. Anyone have any ideas?
[lightTPD]
server.document-root = "/srv/www/ror-apps/software_central/public"
server.modules = ("mod_rewrite", "mod_accesslog",
"mod_fastcgi")
server.port = 81
server.username = "wwwrun"
server.groupname = "www"
server.pid-file = CWD + "/tmp/lighttpd.pid"
accesslog.filename = CWD + "/log/access_log"
server.errorlog = CWD + "/log/error_log"
server.indexfiles = ( "index.html" )
mimetype.assign = (
".css" => "text/css",
".gif" => "image/gif",
".html" => "text/html",
".jpeg" => "image/jpeg",

)
var.appname = "/srv/www/ror-apps/software_central"
$HTTP["host"] == "softdist6.berkeley.edu" {
server.document-root = CWD + "/public"
url.rewrite = ( "^/$" => "index.html",
"^([^.]+)$" => "$1.html" )
server.error-handler-404 = "/dispatch.fcgi"
fastcgi.server = ( ".fcgi" =>

"max-procs" => 5,
"socket" => CWD + "/tmp/sockets/fcgi.socket",

I remeber having had the same problem, but I don''t remember the solution. But why don''t you proxy to mongrel and serve the static files with apache ? That is much easier to setup and works very well for me.

Well, if I can''t fix this problem then I may consider doing that, but for the time being I''d like find a working solution for lightTPD.

"Why would you prefer to use three things when two will do?" ??? Who is using 3 things? There are two options that were discussed: 1) Apache being the proxy for lightTPD 2) Apache being the proxy for mongrel At least that''s how I understood the suggestion. -Steven Tom Mornini wrote:> Why would you prefer to use three things when two will do? > > -- -- Tom Mornini > > On Jun 7, 2006, at 9:33 AM, Steven Hansen wrote: > >> Well, if I can''t fix this problem then I may consider doing that, but >> for the time being I''d like find a working solution for lightTPD. >> >> Roberto Saccon wrote: >>> I remeber having had the same problem, but I don''t remember the >>> solution.
