similar to: Capistrano/SwitchTower "current" dir deployment question

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/.

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

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:

Well I finnally bit the bullet and upgrade to capistrano and have run into several issues that I can''t seem to find a fix for. Switchtower worked perfectly but I can not get cap to work especially with the change to the command to run a deploy. The following code worked fine in switchtower to deploy: switchtower -vvvv -S stage=stage -r config/deploy -a deploy The stage variable

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

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

After I uninstalled SwitchTower and installed Capistrano, I tried run rake --tasks and got the error message below: rake aborted! undefined method `namespace'' for #<Object:0x28a9258> ./rakefile:10 I''ve run "cap -A ." on my Rails application before running rake --tasks. The same thing happens when I overwrite my copy of deploy.rb. Hmm, what could be going wrong

I''ve been meaning to look into using Switchtower/Capistrano for some time now, and after briefly taking a look, it seems geared towards deploying ''an application'' perhaps to multiple machines and keeping it in check in all cases. I was wanting to use it in some legacy situations where the case is more that I deploy an instance of an application multiple times, sometimes

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?

I have a patch for Capistrano 1.1 - how do I submit it? Wes -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

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

Is anyone using Capistrano 1.2 with CVS? If so, anyone willing to share what their set :repository line in the capistrano file looks like? The password in there is no longer being picked up so I can''t deploy to my test server. All that''s changed is my update from Capistrano 1.1 to 1.2. Thanks, Wes -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

All, Does anyone has any experience with Capistrano against a CVS repository? I am unable to successfully pull a revision onto my remote server when hitting a CVS repository. Here is the relevant output from the cap "update_code" task: * executing "if [[ ! -d ~dusan/eSimplyTest/releases/20060410205540 ]]; then\n cd ~dusan/eSimplyTest/releases;\n

When I define :db to be a different server than either :web or :app, and run "rake deploy". Switchtower will abort with an Net::SSH::AuthenticationFailed error. The version of Switchtower I''m using is 1.0.0 and the deploy task is the default supplied with Switchtowe. However, I dont have any problem when :db is changed to the same as :web and :app. -------------- next part

I''m trying to use SwitchTower to deploy from XP to Dreamhost.

I am trying to find the Capistrano (was Switchtower) book. Every link to it that I can find points to http://manuals.rubyonrails.org/read/book/17 ...but that gives me the error message that is the subject line of this post. Google cache and the wayback didn''t help either. Is it top secret? Thanks for any advice, -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
