I’m having troubles setting up Capistrano on Dreamhost … here’s the EXACT steps I took, almost following the guide from [nubyonrails.com](http://nubyonrails.com): On server: cd svn/ mkdir rails.bechbox.dk svnadmin create ~/svn/rails.bechbox.dk Local: ~/rails megl$ ls blog portfolio rails.bechbox.dk rails.ubtesten.info tags ~/rails megl$ svn import rails.bechbox.dk svn+ssh://removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid/home/megl/svn/rails.bechbox.dk -m “import” and then svn adds all the files in rails.bechbox.dk ~/rails megl$ svn co svn+ssh://removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid/home/megl/svn/rails.bechbox.dk rails.bechbox.dk svn: Failed to add directory ‘rails.bechbox.dk/test’: object of the same name already exists ~/rails megl$ mv rails.bechbox.dk rails.bechbox.dk\_presvn ~/rails megl$ svn co svn+ssh://removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid/home/megl/svn/rails.bechbox.dk rails.bechbox.dk ~/rails/rails.bechbox.dk megl$ cap -A . exists config create config/deploy.rb exists lib/tasks create lib/tasks/capistrano.rake Loaded suite /usr/local/bin/cap Started Finished in 0.000458 seconds. 0 tests, 0 assertions, 0 failures, 0 errors And then I change the deploy.rb to the one from [nubyonrails.com](http://nubyonrails.com) and make the necessary changes in there So far so good! But now it goes haywire: ~/rails/rails.bechbox.dk megl$ rake remote:exec ACTION=setup (in /Users/megl/rails/rails.bechbox.dk) loading configuration /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/capistrano-1.2.0/lib/capistrano/recipes/standard.rb loading configuration ./config/deploy.rb - executing task setup - executing “mkdir -p -m 775 /home/megl/rails.bechbox.dk/releases /home/megl/rails.bechbox.dk/shared/system &&\n mkdir -p -m 777 /home/megl/rails.bechbox.dk/shared/log &&\n mkdir -p -m 777 /home/megl/rails.bechbox.dk/shared/pids” servers: [“rails.bechbox.dk”] rake aborted! getaddrinfo: No address associated with nodename (See full trace by running task with --trace) I’ve done the exact same thing with another project on the same server a while ago, and that went fine. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong here? Thanks in advance!! Mikkel > **[Mikkel Bech](https://bechbox.dk/)** ---

Interesting, seems like a simple problem resolving the domain rails.bechbox.dk. I just did a dig lookup on your name and can’t find it: rails.bechbox.dk. IN A but I can see: bechbox.dk. 3600 IN A 208.97.163.60 can you check your dns, or use the www server instead?

Yeah - maybe I’m just being too impatient 😉 I’ll wait a few hours and try again. /megl ---

Wait a minute … what if I did create the sub domain AFTER checking out the repository … does that have anything to say? ---

yeah but in your svn statements, you were using the bechbox.dk domain too. your dns is at 3600 second updates, it should propogate by now… On 9/15/06, Mikkel B.
