Deploy:start issue

Rails Deployment
1

I am trying to deploy my first rails app to a dedicated server (using
capistrano).

The deployment goes fine (no errors) until the deploy:start step.

I get the following error message

I have installed mongrel 1.1.5 and mongrel cluster 1.0.5.

Any ideas, thoughts appreciated.

It does not look like a capistrano problem.

Take a look at:

http://www.urbanpuddle.com/articles/2007/08/17/mongrel-cluster-1-0-2-and-ruby-1-8-5

ssh into your server, cd to app/currect folder and try starting the
mongrel / mongrel cluster there.

Would you please post you config/deploy.rb ?

Craig,

Looks like like there is a problem with the Mongrel/Mongrel

Cluster installation. I would recommend uninstalling Mongrel Cluster,
and later Mongrel, and reinstalling them taking note of the output of
the $ sudo gem install commands.

Also you could consider running Thin as an alternative.

Please provide the output of your reinstallation process,

Just tried to start the mongrel cluster and got the following msg:

Deploy.rb is noted below

set :application, “barmap”
set :repository, “http://www.craigrees.co.uk/svn/trunk”

If you aren’t deploying to /u/apps/#{application} on the target

servers (which is the default), you can specify the actual location

via the :deploy_to variable:

set :deploy_to,
“/home/default/barmap.craigrees.co.uk/user/htdocs/#{application}”
set :mongrel_conf, “# {current_path}/config/mongrel_cluster.yml”
#SVN user
set :scm_username, ‘craigrees_co_uk’
set :scm_password, proc{Capistrano::CLI.password_prompt(‘SVN pass:’)}

#Deployment user
set :user, “root”
set :runner, nil

If you aren’t using Subversion to manage your source code, specify

your SCM below:

set :scm, :subversion
set :deploy_via, :export

role :app, “barmap.craigrees.co.uk”
role :web, “barmap.craigrees.co.uk”
role :db, “barmap.craigrees.co.uk”, :primary => true

ssh_options[:paranoid] = false

namespace :deploy do
task :restart do
restart_mongrel_cluster
end
end

Thanks for your help.
