similar to: Slow-down with Capistrano?

So, I have two different servers I''m deploying to, and I have different ssh users/passwords on each. I assume there''s a way to set these in deploy.rb, but I''m not sure how. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

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

Jamis, I''ve spent hours trying to get Capistrano working, to no avail. I''m hosting over at www.railsplayground.com, and here''s their instructions I''ve been following: http://tinyurl.com/hyo93 I can''t get past step 7. When I execute "rake remote:setup", I get a rake aborted! message. When I do a "rake --tasks", I get only a

What do you do when the ftp login username is different then the svn username? Every time I try to deploy it gets stuck right here: [kopanas.com] executing command ** [out :: kopanas.com] Authentication realm: <http://kopanas.com:80> kopanas.com ** [out :: kopanas.com] Password for ''jkopanas'': ** [out :: kopanas.com] subversion is asking for a password ** [out ::

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

I''m wondering if anyone has built a Capistrano task that will deploy mongrel either standalone or along with a rails app. I''ve been looking at possibilities for doing this but still new to using both having switched from using FCGI+Lighty and deploying by hand. Thanks, Curtis

My needs are far more modest than Capistrano''s capabilities. Also, when working in a shared hosting environment, the Capistrano model can be outside the capabilities allowed by the Web host. I simply need to push selected directories (on a changed-file basis) out to a server. I have about 80% of the code written to do this (I''m considering YAC for the name, with a nod to

I''m using the Shovel recipe to deploy my lovely app to text drive. everyhting seems to be ok apart from the deploy action which fails saying that there is "No such file or directory" I''ve included the full error listing below. The SVN definately exists because we''re using for development. Does any one have any ideas what might be going wrong? Thanks Tom

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

I have a few projects with large directories (say, user-uploaded files) that make using Capistrano a bit awkward. However, I suspect that I may have reached the "write a custom task" level. (I suppose I''m just thinking out loud, here...) It seems as though I''d want this directories symlinked in /shared... Maybe there''s a way to extend the

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 have three distinct configurations I need to maintain: - local dev - staging server (for client approval and test) - production server Right now I''m relying on rsync and sweat to get things right. Obviously Capistrano looks like the silver bullet, but it seems to rely on Subversion over http as a dependency. Is this correct? I''m running svn on my local machine and backing

Hi, I have created a small :restart task to overwrite the default one: task :restart, :roles => :app do sudo "/etc/init.d/lighttpd stop" sudo "/etc/init.d/lighttpd start" end This works fine and lighty does restart, but the last command never finishes, so I never return to the prompt. Here''s my output: cap restart loading configuration

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 deploying with Capistrano for a while now, and have had no problems... until now. When I try and do a "cap deploy", cap tries to connect to my remote server via SSH on port 22... even though in my deploy.rb, I''ve had the following set: ssh options[:port] = 8081 I did a "sudo gem update --remote capistrano", and I''m up to speed on the

Hi all, I am starting out to play with capistrano. I installed the capistrano gem, and I got some messages. I am not sure if these are errors, warnings or just status messages.I hope someone here can help me understand these messages, so that I don''t suspect Capistrano installation if I run into issues further down. :-) binil$ gem install -r capistrano Attempting remote installation

So, I''ve just completed my first develop-test-deploy-wait -fix-test-deploy, and although it was successful it was a nightmare to carry out. Aside from not knowing that sqlite doesnt have a facility to delete columns from tables, the whole operation reeked of "hacked," with multiple command windows open while I sprinted back and forth between my dev machine and the web

Hello, Just started to use Capistrano for deployment and everything works beautifully and as advertised. Thanks Jamis for this great piece of software. However, in my case, the deploy task takes quite some time since my SVN repository resides on a different continent than my app/db server and I''ve frozen all the rails code in the vendor dir and checked in. All in all my app sums up to

I can''t get past the setup step in Capistrano. I know the paths are correct and I''m using zsh locally (bash on remote), so the shell shouldn''t be a problem. It never asks for the SSH password, even. Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Kenneth -- => the blog from beyond <= => www.eyeheartzombies.com <=

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
