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 ::

Does it make sense that if I type cap show_tasks it works but when I type rake show_tasks I get: rake aborted! Don''t know how to build task ''show_tasks'' /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.7.0/lib/rake.rb:1287:in `[]'' /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.7.0/lib/rake.rb:300:in `[]''

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

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 <=

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''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

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

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,

Hi all, I''m attempting to set up a new Rails app using Typo. I''ve downloaded the Typo 2.6.0 edition which includes Rails 1.0 and it works fine. I''ve set up version control with SVN and checked out a new working copy. I''ve run Capistrano -A on the application and it''s set up my deploy.rb and lib/tasks/capistrano.rake. Rake doesn''t seem

Im trying to deploy with capistrano from win32 to Linux but no success. I''ve been installed: cwRsync to ssh I ran rake remote:exec ACTION=setup --trace and get: Anyone knows how to get capistrano log ssh comunication? Any idea? Thanks rake aborted!

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''m trying to get capistrano to deploy to an osx machine - rake remote:cold_deploy but it fails on the svn co line with "bash: line 2: svn: command not found" I''ve set the proper path to svn (/usr/local/bin) in both .bash_profile and .bash_login but capistrano seems to be ignoring these. How does capistrano know where to look for svn? Thanks

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

Another question about migrations. When I type: =========== rake migration VERSION=1 =========== The value in the schema table change to ''1'' but none of the down commands are issued to drop the respective tables. Am I doing something wrong here? Thanks :-) John Kopanas

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

Hey Everyone, According to the comments section in this blog post MediaTemple has their own capistrano deploy script: http://blog.vixiom.com/2006/10/12/media-temple-tames-the-beast-new-ruby-on-rails-hosting-service-with-mongrel/ The problem is that this deploy script refers to a file called ''mt-capistrano'' that I can''t find anywhere. Does anyone have any suggestions

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

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,

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
