similar to: Version control for deployment?

Hi everyone. I''m choosing an SCM for my current Rails project. Up until now, for my other (non-Rails) codings, I used Darcs and liked it very much. I''d prefer to use Darcs for my Rails development as well. Looking into the matter, I''m somewhat deterred by the appearant dominance of Subversion as the SCM tool of choice for Rails hackers. Is there a technical reason for

Calling all rails darcs users! We may be in the minority, but I''m sure we can still share some know how here. Question: how are you managing your vendor/rails directory? svn externals seems to be the preferred option for svn folk (at least this is the approach recommended in the Agile 2 beta). Is there a way to get the same functionality within darcs? That would seem to be the

I want to be able to write a script in Ruby which regularly consumes an XML feed from a fixed source, re-formats it, produces a large file for web delivery, and updates a database with the contained information. It''s simple - just running a script from a cron job, and some basic data manipulation... But I''d prefer to use the Rails database mapping constructs than roll my

Hello all, i changed today from my local repository to a repository on a server. The repository now lies on the same server where my application is going to be deployed. Everything went fine create my repository on the server and checked out my working copy. After some changes on the code i wanted to deploy my application but it failed. The error is: "svn: Network connection closed

Capistrano is a utility for executing tasks in parallel across multiple remote hosts. It was formerly known as SwitchTower. Installation: gem install capistrano Manual: http://manuals.rubyonrails.org/read/book/17 Version 1.1 introduces a few changes: * Renamed! Due to the trademark infringement debacle of last week, we had to change the name. Moving forward it will be known as

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:

I''m using the instructions from http://blog.codahale.com/2006/06/19/time-for-a-grown-up-server-rails-mongrel-apache-capistrano-and-you/to configure mongrel_cluster with apache mod_proxy_balancer. Everything works fine, except when I try to link to a pdf file to be opened in a new window, it displays the contents of the pdf as text instead of opening it as a pdf document through Acrobat.

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

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

what is the best method to deploy from a development machine to production when you need slightly different files for each mode do you use TWO files such as db.yml.dev and db.yml.prod and use capistrano to deploy one or the other to database.yml or is it better to have one file and use conditions in your file such as <% if ENV[''RAILS_ENV''] = "production" %>

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

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 --

I''m about to get hosting for an on-line shop application in the UK. I''m leaning towards Bytemark, as they seem to have the right product range and attitude. Support sound knowledgeable and helpful and they show a marked preference for Debian, which I happen to be fond of. Has anyone tried them? Has anyone had good or bad experiences with other hosting companies

The file column plug-in is great, but there is a problem with it. Well, two... But the other is well documented now. :^) Consider a time when you''ve created a CMS for a client and it''s been in use for over a year. Say 1500+ images have been uploaded so far. Now the client comes back with a simple request... ''Can you change the thumbnail size to 80/90, rather than

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

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

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

Hello, I''m seeking a book on rails deployment (I think a general deployment on nix book can helps too) I need in depth information about Apache, FastCGI, (LightTPD maybe). I was thinking always I know what a web server is! but when I think more deeply about it (after reading Capistrano doc) it seems I need more info about app, web and db servers. stuff like how to config the app server

I need some feedback on deployment using Capistrano. I am considering the following options for deployment: 1) Mac Mini 2) Parallels with Linux 3) Sandbox Account on my Mac 4) Virtual PC Which one should I choose?

I''m NOT working on an enterprisey big time rails application; just something for my personal site. I''ve been deploying via local> git push origin master remote> git pull origin remote> sudo /etc/init.d/httpd restart Trying to decide if this is sufficient, or if learning capistrano and setting that up will give me any advantages over this? Thanks, Dave
