similar to: Switchtower not updating code...

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,

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 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''m trying to get switchtower to work with CVS. I see "querying latest revision..." and then it states "[update_code] transaction: rollback" I''m open to any and all suggestions at this point. I put some logging statements in the switchtower code and it seems to fail at this statement in switchtower-0.10.0/lib/switchtower/scm/cvs.rb @latest_revision =

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''m trying to set up switchtower, following the info in the Manual, but am getting this error when I run "rake remote_exec ACTION=setup": servers: ["cantona.dnswatchdog.com"] /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/net-ssh-1.0.3/lib/net/ssh/transport/packet-stream.rb:203:in `sysread'': bignum too big to convert into `long'' (RangeError) from

I''d like to get SwitchTower to checkout from different repositories per role? The db role checks out different stuff from the app role, etc. I don''t mind redefining SwitchTower::SCM::Subversion.checkout. But I''m not sure the best way to do it. How would that method parameterize the repository based on role? It''d be something like this: command =

would it be possible to get another beta gem posted for switchtower? core rails has been getting nice regular updates to the beta gems, but switchtower is still back at 1962.

I have been working on a small app that started with some scaffolding. Some of my actions still have the structure where the id''s of things are passed on the url for gets. Whats the best way to avoid the security problems that this creates? I am sure that there are many pages written on this topic but I guess I have been searching for the wrong things.

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

Hi all, I''m wondering if "rake freeze_gems" will freeze SwitchTower as well. If it doesn''t, I could try to modify the rake task at [1] to freeze extra gems such as switchtower into vendor/ (the rake task at [1] freezes gems into lib/ which I disagree with). Is there anyone else actually using a "frozen" SwitchTower? If so, what did you do to freeze it with a

Finally getting my app up and running with Switchtower. I am also using file_column in my project. By default, it creates a directory for each model under ''public'' and goes from there. I have users adding files in my production application and those files they added aren''t managed under SVN as they aren''t part of the app, they are added content. Plus, since

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

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

Hi, Has anyone experiences using SwitchTower (Windows) in a shared hosting environment (Textdrive)? I already patched the SwitchTower rake tasks (I don''t know if someone is interested on it), but i still experience some problems (not in the sudoers list, ...). Thank you for answer (and thank you to the textdrive guys, i never had a such fast support!) -- Jean-Etienne Durand

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, BEWARE: this is not a Rails question, but a SwitchTower question. I am asking here because SwitchTower is usually employed with Rails. I am developing what we may call a "distributed video player" in Ruby (this is NOT a Rails application). It works this way: I have several boxes that play videos and one server, where I store the

Just loaded up Switchtower 1.0 today, via gems. I''m on OS X (10.4.5), with ruby and friends installed via darwinports in opt/local. 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
