similar to: Newbie Capistrano / Mongrel / debugging question

Hello list, I discovered mongrel just a few days ago and it already won me overlighttpd for deployment of my future project, so my honestcongratulations to author. My question though is, how one could use capistrano with mongrel (orvice versa) to automate deployments. Since mongrel is plain HTTP anddoes not use fastcgi, will it need to be restarted after each checkouton deployment server like

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

Hi, I am deploying a Rails website using Capistrano to a VPS running the site through Apache and Mongrel. ''cap deploy'' works fine, and mongrels are restarted. When I execute ''cap deploy:rollback'', however, my script fails to restart the mongrels giving this error: !!! PID file tmp/pids/mongrel.5000.pid already exists. Mongrel could be running already.

Hello, I am trying to deploy on to OS X Server with capistrano+mongrel+apache2, etc. I''m trying to do a "cap cold_deploy" as recommended here: http://blog.codahale.com/2006/06/19/time-for-a-grown-up-server-rails-mongrel-apache-capistrano-and-you/ I had a devil of a time getting cap to find the mongrel_rails command (which is in /opt/local/bin) on the server. I set the

Hey all: When using capistrano and/or manually restarting mongrel clusters we encounter errors when restarting that states: ** !!! PID file log/mongrel.8010.pid already exists. Mongrel could be running already. Check your log/mongrel.log for errors. ** !!! Exiting with error. You must stop mongrel and clear the .pid before I''ll attempt a start. ** !!! PID file log/mongrel.8011.pid

Hello. I recently deployed my new rails application. Everything went fine, except for the fast that my mongrel cluster managed by Capistrano is only serving up the first revision. For instance, i one of my revisions I added a new action to my application. I checked it into svn, and ran cap deploy in my application''s root directory. I didn''t get any serious errors, except for

Hello, I tried taking Capistrano out for a test drive and I can''t even get out of the garage. I am following the instructions here: http://manuals.rubyonrails.com/read/chapter/98#page262 As well as Duncan Davidson''s Deploying Rails with Lighty: Deploying Rails with LightTPDhttp://duncandavidson.com/essay/2005/12/railsonlighty Specifically, when I do: rake remote:exec

Hi all, I am out of my head here... I have a 3 node cluster with 10 mongrels running on each. When I deploy, I break all the mongrels every time. I have tried just about everything. I can restart my mongrels without a hitch manually, it''s only when I use cap deploy. Maybe I am missing something here... so if I can get some help it would be appreciated. The errors are the typical mongrel

Hello, I''m trying to deploy my application with Capistrano using Mongrel recipes. Since I''ve installed Ruby from source code, mongrel scripts are found in /usr/local/bin. But the recipes can''t find mongrel_rails : "bash: mongrel_rails: command not found". The path of the user account used to deploy is OK. For sure, I can redefine

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

background: One of our developers is just getting started with Capistrano, just getting together a rudimentary deploy.rb, copied from one of our contract developers who is just getting started a bit too. I''m the systems manager and a complete Rails and Ruby newbie (who, by the way, cannot thank Zed Shaw enough for mongrel and Bradley Taylor enough for mongrel_cluster :-)

Hey Everyone, According to the comments section in this blog post MediaTemple has their own capistrano deploy script: http://blog.vixiom.com/2006/10/12/media-temple-tames-the-beast-new-ruby-on-rails-hosting-service-with-mongrel/ The problem is that this deploy script refers to a file called ''mt-capistrano'' that I can''t find anywhere. Does anyone have any suggestions

Hey y''all: mongrel_cluster provides management tools for running Mongrel behind a reverse-proxy/load balancer. It is an extraction from Rails Machine, a deployment service and Ruby library that simplifies Rails application deployment. This release fixes bugs and adds a Capistrano task library. Changes: -changed pid file format to include port -only write configuration options

Hey all, Has anyone out there got Mongrel deployments working with Capistrano? I''ve had a crack at setting it up, and I''ve found that after a deployment (with updated symlinks) that a mongrel restart does not pick up the new deployed site. It seems to me (in my linkted experience) that the HUP that is sent to mongrel does not re-evaluate the ./current symlink that Cap puts in

Hi, I am very new to ruby, rails, and mongrel, so this may not make any sense, but i figured i would ask it anyways. I have been given the task of determining if rails is a good transition for our company. While my preliminary tests have been successful (i.e. installing mongrel, deploying a test app, etc), i have to figure out how to run our existing cgi scripts under our new environment.

I just got the mongrel_upload_progress set up with drb and the setup was quick and easy, thanks to the good documentation on http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/docs/upload_progress.html I''d like to get this set up with capistrano, but there are 3 things I can''t figure out: - First, I can''t get lib/upload.rb to run in the background - I''m not familiar with

We''re moving some "internal use" apps to a spare internal machine - instead of a public, shared host. I''m not sure if it''s relevant, but the new machine is running OS 10.3. I''m having a strange problem using Capistrano. It happens on both our development machines, and only when deploying to this server. I run ''cap deploy'' and get:

I was using lighty+fastcgi before, and it was working pretty well, but I decided to move to Apache+mongrel because I really really like Mongrel. Well now I found out about lighty+pound+mongrel [1] and I think I''m going to give that a shot. I definitely prefer lighty to Apache - it''s pretty ridiculous how much fewer resources it uses. Anyway the only thing I''m going to

I have everything set up that I need - SVN, webserver (Apache2.2), mongrels, etc. Capistrano is deploying the site well enough, to a point. I need to create sym-links to my file-column created content directories (in shared) and copy the database.yml file (also from shared) into the current folder. I''ve written the following task: desc "Copy the database config file over and set

Hi Guys, I hope its ok to post to this list. I have a rails on ubuntu deployment stack which consists of: locally: cap 2.3.0 and all latest deps server side: apache 2.3, mongrel_cluster, mod_proxy and git on the same host. I am connecting to my remote host via ssh with agent and pass phrase. All is good until my first mongrel task, deploy:restart task. I have included the
