I am using the shovel deploy.rb from http://nubyonrails.com/pages/shovel I have SwitchTower-ized my app, copied the shovel deploy.rb file and put my settings in it. But when I run "rake remote_exec ACTION=setup_lighty" from the local app root it has no effect. It should prompt for a password for at least throw an error? I just get returned to the DOS prompt. If I do "rake

I''m working on a Rails project that needs to be deployed in the near future. To enable prompt responses to bug reports, me and my coding partner were thinking to use the following SVN repository lay-out/policy. We''re using trunk/ for our main-line development. Whenever we deploy something from our trunk, we first want to make a branch (e.g. branches/1.x) and then derive a tag

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

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!

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/.

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

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

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

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:

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''m attempting to auto deploy a rails application to a development server periodically during ongoing development. I''ve setup ssh keys to allow the proper user auto login permissions, but have ran into 2 issues. 1. When the script is run from a cron job as the same user as I currently manually deploy from I receive an error when reaper tries to execute - "can''t

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. But when I try to "rake remote_exec ''remote_exec''" rake dies on me with a "Don''t know how to build task ''remote_exec''" message The

Hello all, I was wondering if it is possible to create a new environment? IE I want a fourth environment set called Stage. The reason being is that we want to run a staging server of sorts. This server will run a copy of our app that is rebuilt via switchtower every hour. We don''t want it to run in as test we want it to run as a production environment but some of our classes

I got problems running switchtower 0.10.0 when I try to run "rake deploy" from my local box (windows) to my shared hosting If I set the repository to (deploy.rb): set :repository, "file:///home/[my_user]/repo/[my_app]/trunk" My local box (windows) can''t reach the subversion repository located in site5 If I set the repository to: set :repository,

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 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

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 use Switchtower to deploy my Ruby on Rails application, which works great. However, it appears to be doing a SVN checkout, which includes all the .svn directories as well. I would rather do an export from SVN. Is it possible to configure Switchtower to do this, or can I extend it in the deploy.rb? I haven''t been able to find any examples on the internet so far. thanks, Jeroen

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?
