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

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,

Hi I''m trying to deploy an app from WinXP to a Linux host(Site5), and wondering if anyone knows the answer to this? I''ve got SwitchTower/Capistrano installed - seems to be fine.

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.

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

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

All, Just read in the Capistrano manual about the Capistrano "migrate" task. There it says that: "By default, all this task does is change to the directory of your current release (as indicated by the current symlink), and run rake RAILS_ENV=production migrate. You can specify that it should run against the latest release (regardless of what the current release is) by setting

Hello, I tried taking Capistrano out for a test drive and I can''t even get out of the garage.

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?

Just a quickie, Hope I''m not going crazy here but I''m sure I''ve seen a screencast for capistrano recently... maybe posted on a blog somewhere. Can anyone remember where it is? Thanks -henry

Is there a way, within capistrano, to deploy not the whole trunk but just stuff tagged a certain way? What I''m trying to accomplish is to let various developers work on different parts of a project, and deploy independantly. Thanks for any help or suggestions. Jim

Man, I can''t wait to get my hands on the capistrano book when it comes out :-). I have the following task in capistrano.rake (any task in deploy.rb just does not want to be called) ========= desc "Restarts the lighttpd server" task :restart_server do run "/users/home/jkopanas/bin/lighttpdctrl restart" end ========= When I run rake restart_server I get the

I keep getting this "No such file or directory - svn log -q -rhead http://myhost.com/svn/spclient/trunk " . I run this svn command from the cmd prompt and it

All, Does anyone know if Capistrano/Switchtower actually does anything on the database server as part of the "deploy" task? I''m pretty sure that it doesn''t, but thought I would verify. Thanks, Wes -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
