I have no idea where to even start debgging this. I''ve checked and re-checked the details in deploy.rb but otherwise I''m stumped. any ideas anyone? thanks al output from command line: C:\rails\captest>rake remote:exec ACTION=setup --trace (in C:/rails/captest) ** Invoke remote:exec (first_time) ** Execute remote:exec loading configuration c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/capistrano-1.1.0/lib/capistrano/recipes/standard.rb loading configuration ./config/deploy.rb * executing task setup * executing "mkdir -p -m 775 /home/tcarlson/captest.mydomain.com/releases /home/tcarlson/captest.mydomain.com/ shared/system &&\n mkdir -p -m 777 /home/tcarlson/captest.mydomain.com/shared/log" servers: ["captest.mydomain.com", "mysql.mydomain.com"] Password: ******** rake aborted! tcarlson c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/net-ssh-1.0.9/lib/net/ssh/session.rb:129:in `initialize'' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/net-ssh-1.0.9/lib/net/ssh.rb:47:in `new'' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/net-ssh-1.0.9/lib/net/ssh.rb:47:in `start'' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/capistrano-1.1.0/lib/capistrano/ssh.rb:31:in `connect'' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/capistrano-1.1.0/lib/capistrano/actor.rb:25:in `connect_to'' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/capistrano-1.1.0/lib/capistrano/actor.rb:397:in `establish_connections'' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/capistrano-1.1.0/lib/capistrano/actor.rb:396:in `each'' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/capistrano-1.1.0/lib/capistrano/actor.rb:396:in `establish_connections'' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/capistrano-1.1.0/lib/capistrano/actor.rb:424:in `execute_on_servers'' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/capistrano-1.1.0/lib/capistrano/actor.rb:173:in `run'' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/capistrano-1.1.0/lib/capistrano/recipes/standard.rb:39:in `instance_eval'' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/capistrano-1.1.0/lib/capistrano/recipes/standard.rb:38:in `instance_eval'' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/capistrano-1.1.0/lib/capistrano/actor.rb:125:in `instance_eval'' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/capistrano-1.1.0/lib/capistrano/actor.rb:125:in `setup'' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/capistrano-1.1.0/lib/capistrano/actor.rb:120:in `setup'' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/capistrano-1.1.0/lib/capistrano/cli.rb:246:in `send'' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/capistrano-1.1.0/lib/capistrano/cli.rb:246:in `execute_recipes!'' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/capistrano-1.1.0/lib/capistrano/cli.rb:246:in `each'' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/capistrano-1.1.0/lib/capistrano/cli.rb:246:in `execute_recipes!'' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/capistrano-1.1.0/lib/capistrano/cli.rb:221:in `execute!'' ./lib/tasks/capistrano.rake:15:in `cap'' ./lib/tasks/capistrano.rake:82 ./lib/tasks/capistrano.rake:74:in `call'' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.7.1/lib/rake.rb:387:in `execute'' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.7.1/lib/rake.rb:387:in `each'' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.7.1/lib/rake.rb:387:in `execute'' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.7.1/lib/rake.rb:357:in `invoke'' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.7.1/lib/rake.rb:350:in `synchronize'' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.7.1/lib/rake.rb:350:in `invoke'' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.7.1/lib/rake.rb:1906:in `run'' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.7.1/lib/rake.rb:1906:in `each'' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.7.1/lib/rake.rb:1906:in `run'' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.7.1/bin/rake:7 c:/ruby/bin/rake:18:in `load'' c:/ruby/bin/rake:18 C:\rails\captest>
