similar to: Capistrano/SwitchTower: DB activity for deploy task?

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, Can someone explain me why Capistrano deploys rails code to both :web and :db roles, not only to :app role, which is the only role that actually needs this code. In my setup I do not want to give any SSH access to :db servers other than server management, which is done outside Capistrano. So why Capistrano migrate task needs this access while it could to it from :app server, which

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

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

I''m trying to use SwitchTower to deploy from XP to Dreamhost. Based on <http://nubyonrails.com/pages/shovel_dreamhost>, my deploy.rb looks like: set :user, ''dankohn'' set :application, "flydash.com" set :repository, "http://svn.flydash.com/flydash/flydash" #set :repository, "svn+ssh://home/#{user}/svn/flydash" #set :repository,

I am just about to dive into Switchtower, but had a thought (go figure?). Could Switchtower use be inverted? Could user, clients, or customers install switchtower and "pull" applications? Just a thought. -- 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.

Hi, Has anyone experiences using SwitchTower (Windows) in a shared hosting environment (Textdrive)?

Hi there, I''m having some difficulties finding some decent info on getting Switchtower to function for my needs. I''ve read most of the Switchtower doc on http://manuals.rubyonrails.com/read/chapter/97, however it''s not answering some potent questions I have. 1. The doc mentions, as an example, using an SVN repos at http://svn.switchtower.com/flipper/trunk What if I

I''ve been trying to configure SwitchTower to perform deployment of my app to a Dreamhost server. I can run rake remote_exec ACTION=setup just fine but rake deploy keeps giving me errors when its checking out the latest revision from the Subversion repository on the same Dreamhost server. It displays errors like this: loading configuration c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/switchtower-0.1

Hi ! Following Ezra's suggestions on http://brainspl.at/pages/perfect_vps, I changed the port sshd listens to. I'm trying to setup SwitchTower, and I don't know how to set the port. Where should that be configured ? I can't see anything in switchtower.rake, nor can I see it in the source. If this already exists, can anybody point me to documentation. If not, can I get any

The recent Rails security issue highlighted a concern I''ve had about Rails deploys; namely, you shouldn''t deploy anything to production that you don''t need there. Rails apps have a number of scripts--potential security holes or DOS targets in this case--along with all the other application code you need. There''s no reason you should have script/server, console,

After installing ST, I switchtowerized my app, set up the deploy recipe, then ran: rake remote_exec ACTION=setup When I do, i get this error: rake aborted! uninitialized constant SwitchTower Obviously, this happens with any of the tasks in ST (like

hi, i''m just getting started using switchtower for deployment. i''m working with a small team of 3 and a hosted subversion repository. i have switchtower working, but i need to create two custom tasks and have those tasks run at deployment. 1) copy a working dispatch.fcgi from another folder, and 2) copy db/database.example to db/database.yml here is what i''ve tried,

I have two servers up, one will be used for production, one for testing stuff. I''d like to set things up so I can upgrade each one independently. So I could type $ rake deploy That will update the test server. I do that, test it for a few minutes/hours/days whatever, then I can put it onto the main server: $ rake deploy_production Is this possible? If so, how can I do it? Pat
