Capistrano problem with mongrel_cluster.yml

Rails Deployment
1

Hello there

I am having a little trouble with capistrano. I have a rails app, which
is running on my hosting server. it was set up originally using this
tutorial:

http://www.hostingrails.com/Capistrano-2-x-Deploying-Your-Rails-Application-on-HostingRails-com

Its all been uploaded using capistrano all fine.

my problem is trying to update locally then upload to the server.

I have made some changes to the site and I am trying to run cap deploy
(which i think is the right command).

The cap file config is set up to copy from local:

set :repository, "."
set :scm, :none
set :deploy_via, :copy

set :scm, :none

when i run cap deploy, it does all the upload to the server as expected,
but always ends with an error -

  • executing `deploy:restart’
  • executing “ln -s
    /Library/Rails//shared/config/mongrel_cluster.yml
    /Library/Rails/    /current/config/mongrel_cluster.yml”
    servers: [“...”]
    [...] executing command
    *** [err :: ...] ln:
    *** [err :: ...] creating symbolic link
    `/Library/Rails//current/config/mongrel_cluster.yml’
    *** [err :: ...] : File exists
    *** [err :: ...]
    command finished
    failed: "sh -c 'ln -s
    /Library/Rails/    /shared/config/mongrel_cluster.yml
    /Library/Rails/****/current/config/mongrel_cluster.yml’" on ...

I have tried all kinds of shennanigans on the server to get it to work,
but to no avail (i.e. moving the file etc)
Anyone have any ideas as to what i can do to fix this?
I can add more code if needed to show you my config files etc
any tips are most welcome
