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 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.

Hello, The company that I work for will be developing a large webbased survey (for a government institution) somewhere in Q1/Q2 of 2006. I''m investigating the technological possibilities and Rails is certainly a candidate.

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
