similar to: Trouble with migrate over Switchtower

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

I know there has been some talk on this list about PayPal''s Website Payments Pro in Rails in the past. I myself am in the middle of preparing my own WPP store in Rails (I''ve done them before in PHP) and am hitting the same walls others have reported. I''ve summarized my notes in this blog post: http://clickablebliss.com/blog/2006/07/21/issues_using_paypals_website_payme

Switchtower is really cool once you get it going. Quick question, I do a: % rake deploy % rake remote_exec ACTION=symlink_pictures ...but what''s the easiest way to combine the two in a single command? Thanks CM -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

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

I just created a new rails project "test".

I''ve been trying to configure SwitchTower to perform deployment of my app to a Dreamhost server. I can run rake remote_exec ACTION=setup just fine but rake deploy keeps giving me errors when its checking out the latest revision from the Subversion repository on the same Dreamhost server. It displays errors like this: loading configuration c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/switchtower-0.1

I''m struggling to get switchtower working, and from other posts about it I know it has something to do with ruby binding to open ssl. I''m just not sure what I should recompile/reinstall to get things to work. running: "rake remote_exec ACTION=setup" gives me ---> ...executing "mkdir -p -m 775 /usr/apps/hello-rails/releases /usr/apps/hello-rails/shared/system

Hello, Iam trying to use Shovel deployment as explained here http://nubyonrails.com/pages/shovel. Iam currently using windows as my development environment and *nix to deploy the application. I have changed all the dispatch.* files to be executable. but when I run rake remote_exec ACTION=setup_lighty it asks for my password and installs lighttpd and other stuff, but fails on task update_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,

I just setup switchtower and I am very happy with it. Just one thing is giving me some headache: My development machine is windows and my deployment host is Unix. Each time I deploy I need to make dispatch.fcgi executable. I wrote my own task for that. But does there exist any smarter way to get this automated ? I think Subversion offers some possiblity to declare a file as executable, but no idea

I have installed Ruby and Rails on my Intel iMac according to the instructions provided by Hivelogic. Everything works perfectly. I have noticed that if I close Terminal and later come back and open it, It seems like the paths set in bash_login are lost. If I open bash_login the paths are still there however if i do ruby -v it says I am running 1.8.2 (mac default) when I have installed 1.8.4.

i used http://hivelogic.com/articles/2005/12/01/ruby_rails_lighttpd_mysql_tiger to install ruby on rails on my mac. everything works fine unless i close the terminal application. after a while of pulling my hair out, i found out that everytime i restart terminal, i have to run ". ~/.bash_login" to make the paths work right. is that what i''m supposed to do everytme, or did

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

Hi all, lately I''ve been working with ROR on a MAC OSX tiger at work, however I have one huge problem with seems to be the root of all my problems whenever I use terminal or iTerm to start workign with ROR.

I have been using Locomotive for rails development and recently decided to fix up the ruby/rails install that is on my mac. As we all know, Ruby 1.8.2 came on the mac and has problems, so I followed the instructions at Hivelogic for installing the latest versions of Ruby, Rails, Lighttpd and so forth. I have this set in my path within bash_login: export

I tried the instruction tutorial on http://maczealots.com/tutorials/ruby-on-rails/ and in the middle of trying to install fixrbconfig I got an error: usr/lib/ruby/1.8/powerpc-darwin8.0/ruby.h does not exist. This probably means you haven''t yet installed Xcode from the Tiger DVD. You won''t be able to compile Ruby extensions without it. Please install it then rerun this
