So I wanted to change spelling errors and other thing on my live site so  
I changed them on my local machine but I not sure on how to over write  
though changes to dreamhost. I could do it manually though there FTP but  
always doing that would take too long. so this is what I tried:

Make changes then “git push” and “cap deploy”  
When I was finished I “cap deploy:restart” and my live website hasn’t  
changed.

So I’m asking if you know either what I did wrong or what I forgot to  
do?

I have

namespace :deploy do  
task :restart do  
run “touch #{current\_path}/tmp/restart.txt”  
end  
end

in my deploy.rb

now it works all the sudden with no change.
