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/.

I''ve put up a first release of Capgem on Rubyforge. It''s available under the MIT license. Capgem is an extension to Capistrano which adds a pack task to Capistrano so you can package up your Rails application as a Gem. This is useful if you are in an environment where Capistrano''s remote deployment tools aren''t an option. Capgem currently adds start and stop

what is the difference between destroy and delete in AR I am not sure what they mean by "Destroys the record with the given id by instantiating the object and calling destroy<http://api.rubyonrails.com/classes/ActiveRecord/Base.html#M000866>(all the callbacks are the triggered). If an array of ids is provided, all of them are destroyed." in

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 everyone, I''ve been sold on the whole idea of using Capistrano for deployment of my sites and have successfully deployed three apps in three different environments all with success. As I''m trying to configure my sites I''ve encountered a number of issues/questions hence this post. 1. Database.yml Twice I''ve been stumped by apps refusing to work on

I''ve recently upgraded my box from Ubuntu Breezy to Dapper, and for the life of me can''t figure out why I''m getting this exception thrown. I''ve switched from Switchtower to Capistrano, and when I run rake deploy I get this output: ** [update_code] exception while rolling back: NameError, uninitialized constant Net::SSH::Transport::OSSL

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

If I can get root access, I''ll use version control for deployment as well... It beats ftp and scp hands down for speed. Setting up a repository on a remote server means I get automatic off-site backup as part of the development cycle, and deployment/site update is as simple as a three word command line entry. Small changes on remote test sites can be made with Vim (or your *nix

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:

All, I have successfully executed the "deploy" task in Capistrano/Switchtower to establish a symbolic link named "current" which points to the current version of my app. on my remote server. My app. was already deployed to the existing Rails root directory (call it "appname") though. I have Apache fronting my app. through a virtual host whose doc. root is itself

Hello, I''m not a developer myself, but I work for a hosting company that tries to cater to the needs of developers and basically right now I am trying to create a hosting platform that will be perfect for ruby developers. This is a linux VPS service and I create the base templates to make the system look however i want it after install. I was hoping some of you could give me

Hi, I''ve recently updated an application to 3.1.1 and Capistrano started to fail at the assets:precompile task. It''s a strange bug that don''t always happen (it actually worked a couple of time) and there''s no error message, it only display "Killed". Running the rake task locally work though. I''ve reverted to 3.1.0 and now it work with

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

How does one configure capistrano for moving local file to your remote server? In the docs it says that one cannot use file:// so what''s the configuration step for resolving this issue?

Testing locally I uploaded files into public/system/... folders ( default for Paperclip) Upon deployment ( capistrano) on the remote server, I can see a symlink from public/system to the shared/system/ but the content ( all images ) is not transferred.... I had to do it myself via ftp .. Is it a standard behavior ? or did I miss adding a task in the deployment ? thanks for your feedback --

Hello ~ I am using the Capistrano recipe outlined in this post to restart my backgroundrb server: http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/backgroundrb-devel/2007-February/000718.html My Version: ~~~~~~~~~~~~ task :before_restart, :roles => :app do restart_backgroundrb end task :start_backgroundrb, :roles => :app do sudo "nohup

Hi folks, I''m a newbie in the Ruby land, The Ruby language and RoR looks really great but I think in my situation there is a problem, we are an ISV that sells web application and we don''t want our clients see our source code, I searched the web but couldn''t find any way to compile and\or obfuscate ruby code (in web (RoR)), is there such tool available for the language?

I''m doing some searching for deployment options, and I feel like I''m getting buried in a lot of new technology and assumptions that I know all that it''s dependent on. In the past I''ve done small things with PHP where I just dump the app in a folder and everything works out of the box. I found that everyone is using Capistrano, which relies on Subversion

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

I''m having trouble getting Capistrano to work on Dreamhost. I seem to be having problems logging in, but I can ssh fine to my dreamhost server from this machine. This doesn''t seem like a dreamhost specific thing to me, but I''m kind of stuck. Here''s the exception I get from "cap setup":
