Hi, I''m deploying to a prod linux server via Capistrano, but the last step, running the reaper, won''t complete. Ruby is stored in /usr/local/bin on the server, and I''m deploying from winxp. $ ssh mcalogin@lx07 Password: mcalogin@LX07:~> env | grep "^PATH" PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/bin:/usr/games:/opt/gnome/b in:/opt/

Hi, I''ve got AAA loaded and working. I now want to put a smarter login form on the sidebar of my site. If the user is not logged in, I''d like to display a typical form in the sidebar that collects the user ID/password and allows the user to login. If the user is logged in, the box should display something like ''Logged in user: FirstName Lastname'' and a

There seems to be a bug when deploying a rails application developed in windows to a linux box. The rake deploy command attempts to run the command "/install/path/current/script/process/reaper" but the files do not have the execute bit set. What can I do to make sure either the execute bit is run or prepend the command with sh or ruby? Thanks.

I just setup switchtower and I am very happy with it. Just one thing is giving me some headache: My development machine is windows and my deployment host is Unix. Each time I deploy I need to make dispatch.fcgi executable. I wrote my own task for that. But does there exist any smarter way to get this automated ? I think Subversion offers some possiblity to declare a file as executable, but no idea

Hi, i''m striving to capistranize a foo app on DH. Everything is hosted on DH to simplify a bit : - svn repository (http access) - the application - the DB I used the recipe of Jamis Buck modified by Geoffrey Grosenbach which you can find here : http://nubyonrails.com/pages/shovel_dreamhost I did the least modifications possible. As recommended. 1) When I launch the

Hi, I have created a small :restart task to overwrite the default one: task :restart, :roles => :app do sudo "/etc/init.d/lighttpd stop" sudo "/etc/init.d/lighttpd start" end This works fine and lighty does restart, but the last command never finishes, so I never return to the prompt. Here''s my output: cap restart loading configuration

When I try to do a deployment with Capistrano I get the error "No such file to load -- pathname" when Cap tries to execute reaper. Any ideas what''s causing this or how I can troubleshoot it? (Output follows.) Thanks. Evan -----BEGIN OUTPUT----- [evans-powerbook:~/Desktop/asktheguys] evan% clear ; rake remote:deploy (in /Users/evan/Desktop/asktheguys) loading

I''m attempting to auto deploy a rails application to a development server periodically during ongoing development. I''ve setup ssh keys to allow the proper user auto login permissions, but have ran into 2 issues. 1. When the script is run from a cron job as the same user as I currently manually deploy from I receive an error when reaper tries to execute - "can''t

I''d like to announce the second release of capistrano-runit-tasks, available from http://rubyforge.org/projects/cappy-runit/ It now supports: * File based templates * sv as the service control command in addition to runsvctrl * A much simpler interface for creating additional services. More work still needs to be done though! == TODO * Allow add_service to create more than one

I''d like to announce the first release of capistrano-runit-tasks. This came about as I wanted to use runit rather than spinner/spawner/ reaper on my memory limited VPS but should be useable for any setup. From the README: This library extends Capistrano to allow processes to be supervised using the runit package. It replaces some of the standard tasks with runit versions and

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

Hi, I am reading docs to understand how to deploy with Capistrano my ROR webapps. In guides.rubyonrails.org/2_3_release_notes.html is written: "If you’re one of the (fairly rare) Rails developers who deploys in a fashion that depends on the inspector, reaper, and spawner scripts, you’ll need to know that those scripts are no longer included in core Rails. If you need them, you’ll be able to

Hi, Just trying to get Capistrano working to Dreamhost. I''m hitting a permissions issue on the reaper file at the moment. Has anyone a copy of the capistrano DEPLOY.RB file they could post or send me a copy of please? Thanks Greg -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, Anyone know where i can find out more info on Reaper/Spawner. Currently, every time i add a new account on my production machine, i have to restart the whole server. After about 150 accounts, this puts a real strain on the server (it takes 3 full minutes before i can access any site on the server). I think reaper/spawner is my answer, but i am havving trouble figuring out how to use it.

Hi, Can anyone shed any light on why "reaper" (whilst seemingly working re restarting my mongrel ruby process) does not pick up changes to my application? (e.g. changing a title in a view for example). It''s like the "mongrel_rails start etc..." is just restarting the current process but ignoring the new details re where the new application directory is. That is

Hi, I would like to set up a "shared hosting"-like rails environment on a linux (+Apache1.3 +FastCGI +MySQL) machine. As we all know, rails provides support for different environments. Now I would like to enable my "users" to switch individual applications between development and production mode. In theory, all they have to do is to add

All, Looking into Capistrano I have yet to come across anything that discusses the necessary permissions needed to do a restart of the FCGI processes. >From what I can see I have two options, run lighttpd as my normal www.wwwuser/group which does not have a shell account and give sudo rights to the user Capistrano logs in to the app server as. Or give lightty a shell account so that

Hi, I want to build a rails backed site which, in addition to some dynamic content, also comprises a number of static content files. There are some static html pages, some powerpoint presentations, and some PDF documents. I want to make sure that the user is logged in before they can access the protected content. I''ve gone through the ''Agile development with

If you installed your copy of ruby via DarwinPorts, the hashbang lines at the top of your dispatch.* scripts says "#!/opt/local/bin/ruby". This is a problem, if you''re deployin via Capistrano to a host with a different path to ruby (which would be practially all of them:-) Here''s a fix. Add this "fix_hashbangs.rb" script to your script directory.

Hello, I''m trying to restart my application fastcgi processes using reaper. But I get the following error: $sudo -u www ./script/process/reaper Couldn''t find any process matching: /var/www/example/200605200000/public/dispatch.fcgi The problem is that it should not look for 20060520000 but for current which is a symbolic link pointing to 200605200000. I did the
