I guess this could be more of a svn question but it really is to do with my rails projects and I know most rails people use svn (they do, right?), so here goes: I have just moved all my rails apps to subversion, next step: switchtower; but I am not quite there yet. I have a permissions problem with the log/ directory of all my rails projects I deply to production: My umask on my production server is quite restrictive and so when checking out my svn repositories the log dir gets the umask and my server blows up when I restart apache2/fcgi because the webserver (or fastcgi process) is trying to write to the log dir and can''t. I tried and found out that svn doesnt understand, or care, about unix permissions, so no luck setting better perms on the log dir and commiting that to my repository. I have looked into setfacl to set explicit umasks for the log dirs of my projects but this seems inelegant since everytime I add a new rails proj I will have to remember to setfacl.. It looks like switchtower can do all sorts of post-svn stuff so I am sure I could get switchtower to change some perms inside a deploy... But I was wondering how other developers handle this issue. Is there a simple elegant solution I am missing? Thanks!

You should be able to chmod the log directory and its contents after deploying. -- Regards, John Wilger ----------- Alice came to a fork in the road. "Which road do I take?" she asked.

Yep, I added the following lines to my restart task:
sudo "chown apache:apache -R /u/apps/#{application}/current"
sudo "chmod 755 -R /u/apps/#{application}/current"
I suppose I could set the permissions to be more fine-grained, but you
get the idea.

Oh, and BTW, if you go to subversion, you won''t have the log dir under SVN. It''s symlinked from outside.
