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 /home/i8ramin/.gems/gems/switchtower-1.0.1/lib/switchtower/recipes/standard.rb loading configuration ./config/deploy.rb * executing task deploy ** transaction: start * executing task update_code * querying latest revision... * executing "if [[ ! -d /home/i8ramin/domains/yaram.com/releases/20060228064451 ]]; then\n svn co -q -r5 http://repo.yaram.com/svn/trunk /home/i8ramin/domains/yaram.com/releases/20060228064451 &&\n (test -e /home/i8ramin/domains/yaram.com/revisions.log || touch /home/i8ramin/domains/yaram.com/revisions.log && chmod 666 /home/i8ramin/domains/yaram.com/revisions.log) && echo `date +\"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S\"` $USER 5 20060228064451 >> /home/i8ramin/domains/yaram.com/revisions.log;\n fi" servers: ["yaram.com"] Password: ********** [yaram.com] executing command ** [out :: yaram.com] if: Expression Syntax. command finished *** [update_code] transaction: rollback * [update_code] rolling back * executing "rm -rf /home/i8ramin/domains/yaram.com/releases/20060228064451" servers: ["yaram.com"] [yaram.com] executing command command finished rake aborted! command "if [[ ! -d /home/i8ramin/domains/yaram.com/releases/20060228064451 ]]; then\\\n svn co -q -r5 http://repo.yaram.com/svn/trunk /home/i8ramin/domains/yaram.com/releases/20060228064451 &&\\\n (test -e /home/i8ramin/domains/yaram.com/revisions.log || touch /home/i8ramin/domains/yaram.com/revisions.log && chmod 666 /home/i8ramin/domains/yaram.com/revisions.log) && echo `date +\"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S\"` $USER 5 20060228064451 >> /home/i8ramin/domains/yaram.com/revisions.log;\\\n fi" failed on yaram.com Exit 1 -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
Ramin, I already replied to you directly, but I figured I''d post the answer here as well in case anyone else is running up against this. The symptom of the issue is the following bit in the output: ** [out :: yaram.com] if: Expression Syntax. This is your shell rejecting the "if" syntax that SwitchTower is using, and it means that you are not using a POSIX compatible shell on your remote host(s). Probably you have something like csh or tcsh configured right now. In order to use ST, you''ll need to change your remote host to use something like bash, ksh, or zsh--basically any shell that understands POSIX shell syntax.
