I just setup switchtower and I am very happy with it. Just one thing is giving me some headache: My development machine is windows and my deployment host is Unix. Each time I deploy I need to make dispatch.fcgi executable. I wrote my own task for that. But does there exist any smarter way to get this automated ? I think Subversion offers some possiblity to declare a file as executable, but no idea how to integrate that into switchtower. regards -- Roberto Saccon - http://rsaccon.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

You can have subversion automatically set the executable bit for you when it does a checkout/export to a *nix server. SwitchTower isn''t involved at all other than doing the normal checkout/export. From the command line you can type: svn propset svn:executable ON public/dispatch.fcgi svn commit public/dispatch.fcgi If you are using tortoisesvn check out the following page to see how to add the svn:executable property on a file: http://tortoisesvn.sourceforge.net/docs/release/TortoiseSVN_en/ ch05s15.html -Jonathan On Jan 3, 2006, at 3:41 PM, Roberto Saccon wrote:> I just setup switchtower and I am very happy with it.

I have a further question about this... I''m still trying to get my head around all of the deployment and SVN stuff. My situation is that I''m developing on Windows and deploying on a Debian VPS. Up to now I''ve been deploying straight out of SVN, but I''d like to move to Switchtower. I''ve successfully gotten all of the install tasks done, and I''ve run the REMOTE_EXEC setup task successfully. I had to do Tom''s propset suggestion on the spinner/spawner/reaper tasks because the scripts were coming out as non-executable and with the wrong line-endings. This worked, and those scripts now execute. One last problem remains... I followed the advice of an article in the Rails Wiki about how to set SVN to ignore dispatch.fcgi so that I didn''t constantly have to update my shebang lines when I switch between development in Windows and deployment on Linux. (c:\ruby\bin\ruby vs /usr/local/bin/ruby) As such, the SVN export performed from Switchtower doesn''t export a dispatch.fcgi file in deployment. Thus, my current/public dir has no dispatch.fcgi file. Not good. Does anyone else have a better idea for how to deal with this issue? My feeble mind just can''t seem to come up with a good way of dealing with the shebang conflict/SVN/deployment issue. How can I get Switchtower to include a dispatch.fcgi file without messing it up with the copy I use in development that references the Windows Ruby location?

How can I > get Switchtower to include a dispatch.fcgi file without messing it > up with the copy I use in development that references the Windows > Ruby location?One idea is to use SwitchTower''s put command to store the necessary dispatch.fcgi file on each web and app server, via an after_update_code hook. Something like: task :after_update_code, :roles => [:app, :web] do dispatch = File.read("public/dispatch.fcgi.linux") put dispatch, "#{release_path}/public/dispatch.fcgi", :mode => 0555 end Or, you could store public/dispatch.fcgi.linux in your source code repo and use an after_update_code hook to just rename it to dispatch.fcgi. - Jamis> > Thanks, all! > > > > I needed to set EOL style to make it work, in addition to the > executable > property. > > -----Original Message----- > From: rails-bounces@lists.rubyonrails.org > [mailto:rails-bounces@lists.rubyonrails.org ] On Behalf Of Jonathan > Younger > Sent: Tuesday, January 03, 2006 5:19 PM > To: rails@lists.rubyonrails.org > Subject: Re: [Rails] switchtower, windows and dispatch.fcgi > > You can have subversion automatically set the executable bit for you > when it does a checkout/export to a *nix server.

I have not implemented this yet, but I plan on putting the UNIX version of dispatch.fcgi into SVN as dispatch.fcgi.unix. The ''real'' one will be the Windows one. When I deploy to Windows, I just run SVN export. Then, my Windows dispatch.fcgi is in place. When I deploy in UNIX, I''m using Switchtower, so I''ll add a line that copies over the dispatch.fcgi with the renamed dispatch.fcgi.unix. This will be just a one-liner in the deploy script, I imagine. Just haven''t gotten around to it. Would this work for you? Jake -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
I didn''t realize that Windows didn''t use the shebang line, but now that you mention it, it makes perfect sense. I never wrote a batch file or any other script that had a shebang line :) I guess I just left it in because the initial rails setup script creates it. Just for the heck of it, I''m going to use the solution Jake and Jamis put forward... I should have known it would only be a couple lines of code in Ruby ;) Thanks, all! You rock!
