No joy for newbie Capistrano user

Rails
1

Hello,

I tried taking Capistrano out for a test drive and I can’t even get out
of
the garage.

I am following the instructions here:
http://manuals.rubyonrails.com/read/chapter/98#page262

As well as Duncan Davidson’s Deploying Rails with Lighty:
Deploying Rails with
LightTPDhttp://duncandavidson.com/essay/2005/12/railsonlighty

Specifically, when I do:

rake remote:exec ACTION=setup

I get this error:

loading configuration

/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/capistrano-1.1.0/lib/capistrano/recipes/standard.rb
loading configuration ./config/deploy.rb

  • executing task setup
  • executing “mkdir -p -m 775 /usr/www/rails/hellorails/releases
    /usr/www/rails/hellorails/shared/system &&\n mkdir -p -m 777

    servers: [“theimageengine.com”]
    (in /home/turner/play/rails/hellorails)
    rake aborted!

Can someone please lend a hand. Thanks alot!

I’d say you were out of the garage, but still in the driveway.

You need to install openssl ruby bindings on your server. I’m not an
expert on this, but I believe that many (most?) Ruby installs include
these, but it may not be installed by default on some systems including
Debian and derivatives.

Consult the documentation for your server.

I’m on a SuSE box. What is the name of the module I need to gem install?

Can someone please explain to me how to install a newer version of the
openssl/openssh libraries on my find old SuSE 8.2 box. I can’t use RPM,
that
does not install a version high enough to prevent rake from aborting
when
running: rake remote:exec ACTION=setup. The relevant ruby script
requires
openssl > 0.9.6. SuSE 8.2 RPM only goes up to 0.9.6i. I need 0.9.7 or
greater.

I can’t just uninstall the RPM due to dependency hell.

I’m completely stumped.
