However I have been racking my brain on how to implement

Well I finnally bit the bullet and upgrade to capistrano and have run into several issues that I can''t seem to find a fix for. Switchtower worked perfectly but I can not get cap to work especially with the change to the command to run a deploy.

Question for you all is it possible to use an action in an if statement? I am using the same form for edit and new and I have a cancel button on the page. This cancel button is built with an if statement that looks right now to see if a parameter exists to define where to go back to if the user cancel. The problem occurs when the user submits the form and there are missing fields by

Than my question is this? Now that I have switchtowerized and migrate enabled my app I can start down a new path if need be on a different OS as the base of the system.

Here are our requirements for a stage/dev box and production:
