I am having issues when using unicorn with a Capistrano deployment. >From what I have been able to understand Capistrano uses a scheme in wich every release is deployed inside the releases directory under a unique name and if the transaction was successful, creates a symlink named current that will point to that release. So I end up with a deployment directory such as:

I''ve deployed an application using Capistrano. But on my local machine I edited one of the earlier migrations. I''ve tried "cap deploy_with_migrations", but it looks like it didn''t rebuild the database. How can I do the equivalent of this using Capistrano? "rake db:migrate VERSION=0" "rake db:migrate" -- Posted via

well this may very well be a super easy one, but I can''t seem to find an answer. I think it''s really neat that ruby on rails has so many things built in like multiple databases for production, testing. if i create a database on my local machine, and create my rails app locally... will everything get synced with my webhost when i use capistrano? or do i need to log-in to the

My deployment requires a few extra steps after ''update_code'' and then again after ''symlink''. Until I migrated to capistrano2, I had my own deploy_with_migration task which added these steps. What would be a recommended approach to accomplish the same using capistrano2? Thanks, Helzer --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this

I have a patch for Capistrano 1.1 - how do I submit it? Wes -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

When I create a task within capistrano.rb I can call it using rake. When I create a task and put it in deploy.rb I can call it. Neither with or without the remote: namespace. Anyone have any insight into why it does not work? John Kopanas

I''ve been mulling over an idea for a book covering Ruby on Rails application deployment. Obvious topics include using Mongrel by itself and with Apache/Lighttpd, load balancers, memcached, and Capistrano. What other topics would you like to see covered in such a book?

Hello fellow railers, I''m new to the whole RoR thing and I have finished installing and setting everything up on my OSX G4 Powerbook. I followed the step by step instructions at Hivelogic, running lighttpd and everything else. I''m having an issue with Capistrano. I''m following the tutorial at Apple: http://developer.apple.com/tools/rubyonrails.html Everything in

All, I''m setting up a deployment script with Capistrano at the moment, and am running into some trouble when it attempts to pull the code down from the SVN server when I run the deploy task. The SVN server runs over https, and the problem seems to be when I get asked whether I want to accept or reject the certificate. I hit ''p'' to accept the certificate permanently,

This could be entirely my imagination, but it _feels_ like my apps are ever so slightly less responsive after deploying with Capistrano. Is that even possible? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://wrath.rubyonrails.org/pipermail/rails/attachments/20060417/73f30cef/attachment.html

Hi, My name is Paul Kristoff and I am rather new to rails. I am trying to use Capistrano for the first time and am rather confused. My confusion boils down to the :repository variable in the deploy.rb file. Is this supposed to point to where your code is currently being stored? Here is what leads to that question, I am working with an ISP that supports rails. I originally had the

Hi, Just having a problem trying to get capistrano working to the remote server. I''ve set things up per the below to links, but when I enter "cap setup" (or "rake remote:exec ACTION=setup" - I assume they are the same) then things FREEZE and it never asks me for a password. I have to kill the "cmd" window. Is there a way to get some level of trace or

Hi all, I am starting out to play with capistrano. I installed the capistrano gem, and I got some messages. I am not sure if these are errors, warnings or just status messages.I hope someone here can help me understand these messages, so that I don''t suspect Capistrano installation if I run into issues further down. :-) binil$ gem install -r capistrano Attempting remote installation

I''m wondering if anyone has built a Capistrano task that will deploy mongrel either standalone or along with a rails app. I''ve been looking at possibilities for doing this but still new to using both having switched from using FCGI+Lighty and deploying by hand. Thanks, Curtis

I''m using the Shovel recipe to deploy my lovely app to text drive. everyhting seems to be ok apart from the deploy action which fails saying that there is "No such file or directory" I''ve included the full error listing below. The SVN definately exists because we''re using for development. Does any one have any ideas what might be going wrong? Thanks Tom

I''m NOT working on an enterprisey big time rails application; just something for my personal site. I''ve been deploying via local> git push origin master remote> git pull origin remote> sudo /etc/init.d/httpd restart Trying to decide if this is sufficient, or if learning capistrano and setting that up will give me any advantages over this? Thanks, Dave

Hi all I didn''t get a response to my first post so I thought I''d try again. is anyone successfully using capistrano to deploy their app from a windows box? I''m trying to deploy a test app to my dreamhost account but all i get is "rake aborted!" with no further information. Can someone please confirm if capistrano even works under windows? many thanks al

I''ve been meaning to look into using Switchtower/Capistrano for some time now, and after briefly taking a look, it seems geared towards deploying ''an application'' perhaps to multiple machines and keeping it in check in all cases. I was wanting to use it in some legacy situations where the case is more that I deploy an instance of an application multiple times, sometimes
