Hi,

I am setting up a new environment (on a vps) that runs Open Solaris. I  
know, why am I using Solaris? Don’t ask.

I have a nearly identical vps for which my capistrano script works  
perfectly to deploy my app. However, on my new server I am getting the  
following errors:

- executing “cd /home/visaintegration/Sites/vbn/current;  
script/ferret\_server -e production stop || true” servers:  
[“[dev.visabusinessnetwork.com](http://dev.visabusinessnetwork.com)”] [[dev.visabusinessnetwork.com](http://dev.visabusinessnetwork.com)] executing  
command

\*\*\* [err :: [dev.visabusinessnetwork.com](http://dev.visabusinessnetwork.com)] no such file to load – ferret  
command finished

AND

- executing “cd /home/visaintegration/Sites/vbn/current;  
script/ferret\_server -e production start” servers:  
[“[dev.visabusinessnetwork.com](http://dev.visabusinessnetwork.com)”] [[dev.visabusinessnetwork.com](http://dev.visabusinessnetwork.com)] executing  
command

\*\*\* [err :: [dev.visabusinessnetwork.com](http://dev.visabusinessnetwork.com)] no such file to load – ferret  
command finished failed: “sh -c ‘cd  
/home/visaintegration/Sites/vbn/current; script/ferret\_server -e  
production start’” on [dev.visabusinessnetwork.com](http://dev.visabusinessnetwork.com)

dir : /home/visastage/.cruise/projects/vbn40cideploy/work command : cap  
deploy executed command : echo  
/home/visastage/.cruise/projects/vbn40cideploy/work $ cap deploy \>\>  
/home/visastage/.cruise/projects/vbn40cideploy/build-4210/build.log &&  
cap deploy \>\>  
/home/visastage/.cruise/projects/vbn40cideploy/build-4210/build.log 2\>&1  
exitstatus: 1 STDERR TAIL START

However, if I run the same command from the server, they work perfectly.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance,  
Sam
