Capistrano / svn problem

Rails
1

I’m attempting to get my rails app working on our staging server, and
have
been trying to use capistrano to do so. When I try to run the command
‘cap
deploy’, I am asked for a password and then get the following error:

  • executing task deploy
    ** transaction: start
  • executing task update_code

So it appears that svn is not working on the staging server. When I log
into the server and run the svn command, however, it works fine. Has
anyone
else run into a similar problem?

Thanks,
Chris

Maybe subversion isn’t on the default path for a non-login shell? You
should be able to find out where it is via “which svn”. If it isn’t in a
“usual” place, you might need to add a .bashrc file in your home
directory with something like
export PATH=/path/to/subversion:$PATH
in it.

Hope this helps.
