Forum: Rails deployment Capistrano Problem

Hello all,

I am attempting to get Capistrano setup and working for the first time.
This is very new to me. I am trying to deploy from a local Git
repository to my shared host.

After running 'cap deploy:setup' and 'cap deploy:check' everything
appears OK. But when I run 'cap deploy' it doesn't seem like any of my
file are getting uploaded. Here is what happens after running 'cap
deploy'. Does anything look weird?

Hi Matthew, did you get any resolution to this. I'm having exactly the
same problem. Stating the obvious perhaps but it looks like the checkout
part of the process is not descending into the 'public' folder's sub
directories.

My workaround (still to be done) is to create a post-checkout event
which explicitly grabs the images, javascript, stylesheet directories.

I still thinks there's an issue with capistrano (version 2.5.11) on my
system.

Please let us know if you have found a more adequate fix to this?
