Hi folks,  
I’m trying to setup with Capistrano 2 and I received this error:  
$ cap deploy:setup

- executing `deploy:setup’
- executing “umask 02 && mkdir -p /var/www/apps/twitter  
/var/www/apps/twitter/releases /var/www/apps/twitter/shared  
/var/www/apps/twitter/shared/system /var/www/apps/twitter/shared/log  
/var/www/apps/twitter/shared/pids”  
servers: [“[twitter.serni.net](http://twitter.serni.net)”]  
[DEBUG] Mon Oct 22 22:49:44 +0200 2007 – transport.session: connecting  
connection failed for: [twitter.serni.net](http://twitter.serni.net) (Errno::ECONNREFUSED:  
Connection refused - connect(2))

Hehehe, I named the test project “twitter” (ough!). I think the problem  
is the ssh port: 33022. For the svn+ssh I made a tunnel at the  
subversion conf file, so, the Capistrano repository config is like this:

set :repository,  
“svn+sernissh://#{domain}/var/www/apps/#{application}/repos/trunk”

Any idea?

Thanks!!  
Xavier

It seems that your server ([twitter.serni.net](http://twitter.serni.net)) isn’t answering (is not  
open).

Also, check the documentation about capistrano recipes on how to  
include the ssh port for each host.

svn+sernissh??? I guess SVN will not understand that protocol 😛

Ups, it’s rare, but you’re right! If I make a nmap, doesnt show any ssh  
open port!

Well, jusr said at the first post. “sernissh” is a pattern I write at  
the .subversion conf file to access any port unless 22…

### Section for configuring tunnel agents.

[tunnels]  
sernissh=/usr/bin/ssh -p 33022

Thanks!

I had the same basic issue with a host that uses 7822 for ssh; fixed  
with info from middle of this page:  
[http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/Capistrano](http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/Capistrano)

Seems easier to just re-create the custom protocol in deploy.rb, thus

set :repository, svn+ssh://user@domain/path/to/repos"  
ssh\_options[:port] = 7822
