When running either cap deploy or cap deploy:cold cap basically freezes  
at the this step:

- executing `deploy:update\_code’

I have svn installed on windows workstation along with linux on  
sharehost(bluehost). I am able to run cap deploy:setup and I the  
preceding commands before update\_code work and are executed correctly

Here is the task I am using:

deploy.task :default do  
transaction do  
run “#{scm\_command} info /home/my\_user/my\_proj/”  
run “ls -x1 /usr/lib | wc -l”  
update\_code  
symlink  
end  
end

The first two commands are just used to ensure I can run commands on the  
remote server(which I can). The first command is running against a  
manual deployment, capistrano’s deployment obviously hasn’t been done  
yet…

The other thing I noticed is that deploy:setup create a release and  
shared folder but the release folder is completely empty. I have seen  
some posts that seem to indicate that there should be empty subfolder  
beneath it?
