I''ve tried running Rails with httpd (fastcgi and cgi), lighttpd (scgi, fastcgi, cgi), mongrel, webrick, and even ''ruby

I''ve got switchtower set up, and it seems to work fine except for one problem: It doesn''t successfully restart lighttpd.

Hello all. Time for an all night installation campfire (no pun intended) story. I just helped a customer migrate from a single box to a 5 box system. 2 Lighty 2 FCGI 1 DB Everything went quite well. I scripted everything so it would be easy to add more boxes in the future. 3 scripts, one for each box type above. Then came time to get the site working. :-) Lighty came up easily. The DB came up

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
