Hi there, The default recipe expects you to be able to access your web server directly from your local machine. On our web server, for security purposes, it is only possible to ssh to it through one particular ip (which is also a remote machine.) The capistrano source is so compact and tidy it looks very hackable. But rather than messing around I thought I''d ask first if anyone else

Hi, I have my rails sites tricked out with capistrano, and backgroundrb, so I can easily use the ant tasks, but I would like to be able to start and stop backgroundrb from within rails. I have a few reasons for this: 1. Using fastcgi, backgroundrb would start under the apache user and the same mod_security context as apache, instead of my developer account which has many more privileges. 2.

Trying to set up a Rails 3 project with RSpec and Autotest. I followed these steps exactly: http://gist.github.com/365816 But when I start up autotest, I get: $ autotest loading autotest/rails style: Rails instead of: $ autotest loading autotest/rails_rspec2 style: RailsRspec2 And autotest doesn''t seem to do anything. Any idea what''s happening? I''m using Ruby

SwitchTower is a utility that can execute commands in parallel on multiple servers. It allows you to define tasks, which can include commands that are executed on the servers. You can also define roles for your servers, and then specify that certain tasks apply only to certain roles. Manual: http://manuals.rubyonrails.org/read/book/17 Project:

Hi, I am learning cucumber. I have integrated the Devise with my rails 3 application. My problem is I have to write a test which will create a project. For that I have to make sure that user should be logged in. So I have written the user login feature first which is working fine. After that I have written the creation of project scenario. Whenever I am running that scenario we are getting an

I have noticed that occasionally (about 50% of the time) when i deploy (using capistrano) my app to a production server, i have to ssh into the box and manually stop and start backgroundrb to get it to load my workers. this is my basic setup i have 2 workers: lib/workers/mp3_worker.rb => takes a hash of params to downsample an mp3 lib/workers/flv_worker.rb => takes a has of

I''ve created a couple of tasks in my deploy.rb file for starting and stopping backgroundrb on the remote server. The stop task runs fine and kills the process. And the start task *seems* to run successfully, but backgroundrb is never started on the remote host. Has anyone had success with this? Here are my deploy tasks: desc ''Start backgroundrb server (default

I''d like to set up capistrano to send an email whenever we do a deployment. Just start an SMTP session with localhost and shoot off the email. I have all the code to do that actually, I just don''t know how to run some Ruby code on the deployment server. Anyone know how to do that, or do you have an email recipe?

Sorry for the newbie question but I''m stumped: I have an app that requires sudo to run mongrel_rails. For my capistrano recipe is do it like this: sudo "mongrel_rails start -e production -p #{application_port} -d -c #{current_path}" Which works famously. Now I have tried several things for my restart task. Here they are: sudo "cd #{current_path} && sudo

I have a few projects with large directories (say, user-uploaded files) that make using Capistrano a bit awkward. However, I suspect that I may have reached the "write a custom task" level. (I suppose I''m just thinking out loud, here...) It seems as though I''d want this directories symlinked in /shared... Maybe there''s a way to extend the

My app is set up without database.yml in version control. I created a shared_path/config dir, and put database.yml in it. After I update the code, I want to link the app''s database.yml file to the shared config. So I added this task desc ''Copy the database config'' task :after_update_code, :roles => :app do run "ln -s #{shared_path}/config/database.yml

ok, i was wrong. the failure on deployment using capistrano is 100% using these commands ## Our Handlers desc "Restart BackgrounDrb" task :restart_uploader, :roles => :app do run "#{current_path}/script/backgroundrb stop" run "#{current_path}/script/backgroundrb start" end here is the console post deploy on the remote server ######## [current]$

I''m having problems launching the spin process via the deploy.rb task. Everything works great when is run the script manually via: % ssh admin@monterey.example.net /Web/Rails/Example/current/script/spin However, when I run ''cap spinner'' or ''rake remote:exec ACTION=spinner'', I get the following errors: % cap spinner loading configuration

Hi, I have a couple of daemons that im trying to setup to be run for my app. The environment load is as follows.. ENV["RAILS_ENV"] ||= "development" require File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), "/../../config/environment") And the error I get is #<LoadError: no such file to load -- active_support> #<Gem::Exception: can''t activate activesupport (=

Hi. I am using BackgrounDRb to process thumbnails and upload to S3 - things are hunky-dory in development (thumbs are generated, these are uploaded to S3, the metadata is saved to trhe DB, and I get a nice status page updated by periodic calls via ask_status), but when I tried to deploy to our staging server and stop/start BackgrounDRb via Capistrano, things blew up - well, not exactly,

Hello.. I'm attempting to copy/sync a development directory on my laptop to our web server, and for some reason dot-files are being copied but not deleted. Command line: rsync -rvva --delete-after -e ssh ./ server.com:/var/www/html/project/ The symptom is that I've got files like '.Makefile.swp' and '.hidden.php.swp' on the server (vi temp files) even after deleting them

Hello all, Ive got Mac OS X Leopard (10.5.8), ruby 1.8.6 (2009-06-08 patchlevel 369) [universal-darwin9.0] and mysql 5.0.67 installed and working fine with Rails 2.1.0. "which ruby" outputs /usr/bin/ruby. I can see the mysql symlink in / usr/local/mysql. I can also see the mysql-5.0.67-osx10.5-x86 folder in /usr/local . Im trying to upgrade my Rails apps to 2.3.5 but when i try to

Hi, im looking to build a page similar to a shopping cart page. When you change the ''price'' or ''quantity'' fields, the total is calculated and displayed. There are other fields in the form which have no relation to this action. So i guess observe_form is not required. Can someone tell me what the best practise is for this?

Hi there, I am trying to deploy a rails app on dreamhost. Here is the error message that I get: fatal: ''home/USER_NAME/DOMAIN_NAME/git/APPLICATION_NAME.git'': unable to chdir or not a git archive fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly /Users/USER/.gem/ruby/1.8/gems/capistrano-2.5.3/lib/capistrano/recipes/ deploy/scm/git.rb:224:in `query_revision'': Unable to resolve

Hi! I'm trying to upgrade my Redhat 3AS server, but I'm encountering problems. The first problem was, I didn't know what repository to use. I settled on http://mirror.centos.org/, but using it is strange, as not all mirror servers have all of the directories, and so sometimes links appear broken, but the problem goes away if I hit reload. A number of them have empty directories,
