similar to: Capistrano: command never finishes?

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 have an RoR application(parent) which can be used to kickstart other RoR applications(child). A user can log in to parent RoR and then start child RoR''s and then visit that RoR using one of the links provided in parent RoR; I have following html code is parent RoR list page for visiting an child RoR <input type=button onclick="visitApp1()"

I''ve got switchtower set up, and it seems to work fine except for one problem: It doesn''t successfully restart lighttpd. I have the following task in my deploy.rb file: desc "Restart the web server" task :restart, :roles => :app do sudo "/usr/local/etc/rc.d/lighttpd.sh restart" end This is on a FreeBSD system, so it''s using the rc script to

Hi, Anyone know where i can find out more info on Reaper/Spawner. Currently, every time i add a new account on my production machine, i have to restart the whole server. After about 150 accounts, this puts a real strain on the server (it takes 3 full minutes before i can access any site on the server). I think reaper/spawner is my answer, but i am havving trouble figuring out how to use it.

When I try to do a deployment with Capistrano I get the error "No such file to load -- pathname" when Cap tries to execute reaper. Any ideas what''s causing this or how I can troubleshoot it? (Output follows.) Thanks. Evan -----BEGIN OUTPUT----- [evans-powerbook:~/Desktop/asktheguys] evan% clear ; rake remote:deploy (in /Users/evan/Desktop/asktheguys) loading

Apologies in advance if this ignites a war of comflicting opinions.... I''m a few days away from going live with my first RoR application. It is completely database centric and each user will have his own queries so cacheing will not really help. I have a dedicated linux server being built by my hosting provider and I need to tell them which webserver to use. The databse is MySQL

Hi, I would like to set up a "shared hosting"-like rails environment on a linux (+Apache1.3 +FastCGI +MySQL) machine. As we all know, rails provides support for different environments. Now I would like to enable my "users" to switch individual applications between development and production mode. In theory, all they have to do is to add

Hi, Just trying to get Capistrano working to Dreamhost. I''m hitting a permissions issue on the reaper file at the moment. Has anyone a copy of the capistrano DEPLOY.RB file they could post or send me a copy of please? Thanks Greg -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, I''m deploying to a prod linux server via Capistrano, but the last step, running the reaper, won''t complete. Ruby is stored in /usr/local/bin on the server, and I''m deploying from winxp. $ ssh mcalogin@lx07 Password: mcalogin@LX07:~> env | grep "^PATH" PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/bin:/usr/games:/opt/gnome/b in:/opt/

Man, I can''t wait to get my hands on the capistrano book when it comes out :-). I have the following task in capistrano.rake (any task in deploy.rb just does not want to be called) ========= desc "Restarts the lighttpd server" task :restart_server do run "/users/home/jkopanas/bin/lighttpdctrl restart" end ========= When I run rake restart_server I get the

Hi, Can anyone shed any light on why "reaper" (whilst seemingly working re restarting my mongrel ruby process) does not pick up changes to my application? (e.g. changing a title in a view for example). It''s like the "mongrel_rails start etc..." is just restarting the current process but ignoring the new details re where the new application directory is. That is

All, I''m setting up a deployment script with Capistrano at the moment, and am running into some trouble when it attempts to pull the code down from the SVN server when I run the deploy task. The SVN server runs over https, and the problem seems to be when I get asked whether I want to accept or reject the certificate. I hit ''p'' to accept the certificate permanently,

Somebody suggested SmallCap and that sounds great. This is by no stretch of the imagination Capistrano, so it might better be named MicroCap but it may be useful to some who have (as I do) modest needs in this regard, especially for on-server versioning. Here''s a preview of the usage: Usage: ruby smallcap.rb [options] -s, --server=SERVER Copies app to specified

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

Hi, i''m striving to capistranize a foo app on DH. Everything is hosted on DH to simplify a bit : - svn repository (http access) - the application - the DB I used the recipe of Jamis Buck modified by Geoffrey Grosenbach which you can find here : http://nubyonrails.com/pages/shovel_dreamhost I did the least modifications possible. As recommended. 1) When I launch the

Hello fellow railers, I''m new to the whole RoR thing and I have finished installing and setting everything up on my OSX G4 Powerbook. I followed the step by step instructions at Hivelogic, running lighttpd and everything else. I''m having an issue with Capistrano. I''m following the tutorial at Apple: http://developer.apple.com/tools/rubyonrails.html Everything in

Hi, I''m new at rails and am in the midst of deploying my first app to a test server. The app was developed on windows. I used Capistrano to deploy, and found a few issues: 1) I must chmod 755 dispatch.cgi each time I deploy 2) script/parse/reaper also doesn''t have the executable attributes so the deployment fails. 3) database.yml as checked out from svn isn''t

All, Looking into Capistrano I have yet to come across anything that discusses the necessary permissions needed to do a restart of the FCGI processes. >From what I can see I have two options, run lighttpd as my normal www.wwwuser/group which does not have a shell account and give sudo rights to the user Capistrano logs in to the app server as. Or give lightty a shell account so that

I''d like to announce the first release of capistrano-runit-tasks. This came about as I wanted to use runit rather than spinner/spawner/ reaper on my memory limited VPS but should be useable for any setup. From the README: This library extends Capistrano to allow processes to be supervised using the runit package. It replaces some of the standard tasks with runit versions and

I''ve managed to get Rails working using Apache->Lighttpd->SCGI. Restarting everything is really difficult. This appears to be the process: - stop apache - stop lighttpd - stop scgi - make sure scgi still isn''t running (it sometimes does) - if it is, kill it - delete all session files (they often cause permission errors) - start scgi - start apache - start lighttpd - cross
