Hi all,

I am starting out to play with capistrano. I installed the capistrano  
gem, and I got some messages. I am not sure if these are errors,  
warnings or just status messages.I hope someone here can help me  
understand these messages, so that I don’t suspect Capistrano  
installation if I run into issues further down. 🙂

binil$ gem install -r capistrano

cap -h works, so I am assuming that the install worked; nonetheless, I  
would like to understand these messages better.

Thanks,  
Binil

Binil,

That’s just rdoc being noisy. You can ignore all of those messages.  
They are, unfortunately, nothing that either gem or capistrano can do  
anything about. It’ll require rdoc to be “fixed”. In the meantime,  
the messages are simply informational–rdoc simply saying “this  
string is constructed at runtime so I can’t follow it to determine  
the target file.”

Thanks Jamis! Capistrano now _almost_ works for my simple deployment  
needs.

When I invoke ‘rake remote:migrate’ Capistrano ensures that the  
RAILS\_ENV is set to production. But when I invoke ‘rake remote:deploy’  
it does not seem to ensure that the environment is set to production - I  
get an error:

> Mysql::Error in XXXController#XXX  
> Unknown database ‘XXX\_development’  
> RAILS\_ROOT: /var/www/XXX/current/public/…/config/…

I am using Apache 1.3 + FastCGI on Linux.

I use CVS for SCM. Should I be changing the CVS copy of environment.rb  
file to ENV[‘RAILS\_ENV’] ||= ‘production’? I am reluctant to do this;  
when some developer checks out the code, they would prefer the  
environment to be development. Kindly let me know if Capistrano has a  
better way to handle this.

Thanks,  
Binil

OOPS, didnt read the docco carefully enough before I asked!

I changed the FastCgiServer definition in httpd.conf.

Thanks,
