I’m trying to learn how to deploy apps from my Windows development box. My host is Dreamhost. I’m following this tutorial: [http://wiki.dreamhost.com/index.php/Capistrano](http://wiki.dreamhost.com/index.php/Capistrano) I’ve set up a sub-domain. I’ve created a Rails app and put it into my subversion repository as per the tutorial. I’ve run “cap setup” and that runs ok. When I run “cap deploy” it connects to the server and it puts my app up there - I can see it in one of the releases folders. However, the process fails saying: " \*\* [out :: [delipaste.icuo.us](http://delipaste.icuo.us)] bash: line 1: /home/tdonaghe/delipaste.icuo.us/current/script/process/reaper: Permission denied" Sure enough, when I look in that directory up on the server (in [delipaste.icuo.us](http://delipaste.icuo.us)[https://webftp.dreamhost.com/index.php?ftpserver=plenty.dreamhost.com&ftpserverport=21&username=tdonaghe&password\_encrypted=613861626F6630323235&language=en&skin=blue&ftpmode=binary&passivemode=yes&sslconnect=no&viewmode=list&sort=&sortorder=&state=browse&state2=main&directory=/delipaste.icuo.us](https://webftp.dreamhost.com/index.php?ftpserver=plenty.dreamhost.com&ftpserverport=21&username=tdonaghe&password_encrypted=613861626F6630323235&language=en&skin=blue&ftpmode=binary&passivemode=yes&sslconnect=no&viewmode=list&sort=&sortorder=&state=browse&state2=main&directory=/delipaste.icuo.us)/ releases[https://webftp.dreamhost.com/index.php?ftpserver=plenty.dreamhost.com&ftpserverport=21&username=tdonaghe&password\_encrypted=613861626F6630323235&language=en&skin=blue&ftpmode=binary&passivemode=yes&sslconnect=no&viewmode=list&sort=&sortorder=&state=browse&state2=main&directory=/delipaste.icuo.us/releases](https://webftp.dreamhost.com/index.php?ftpserver=plenty.dreamhost.com&ftpserverport=21&username=tdonaghe&password_encrypted=613861626F6630323235&language=en&skin=blue&ftpmode=binary&passivemode=yes&sslconnect=no&viewmode=list&sort=&sortorder=&state=browse&state2=main&directory=/delipaste.icuo.us/releases)/ 20060916053057[https://webftp.dreamhost.com/index.php?ftpserver=plenty.dreamhost.com&ftpserverport=21&username=tdonaghe&password\_encrypted=613861626F6630323235&language=en&skin=blue&ftpmode=binary&passivemode=yes&sslconnect=no&viewmode=list&sort=&sortorder=&state=browse&state2=main&directory=/delipaste.icuo.us/releases/20060916053057](https://webftp.dreamhost.com/index.php?ftpserver=plenty.dreamhost.com&ftpserverport=21&username=tdonaghe&password_encrypted=613861626F6630323235&language=en&skin=blue&ftpmode=binary&passivemode=yes&sslconnect=no&viewmode=list&sort=&sortorder=&state=browse&state2=main&directory=/delipaste.icuo.us/releases/20060916053057)/ script[https://webftp.dreamhost.com/index.php?ftpserver=plenty.dreamhost.com&ftpserverport=21&username=tdonaghe&password\_encrypted=613861626F6630323235&language=en&skin=blue&ftpmode=binary&passivemode=yes&sslconnect=no&viewmode=list&sort=&sortorder=&state=browse&state2=main&directory=/delipaste.icuo.us/releases/20060916053057/script](https://webftp.dreamhost.com/index.php?ftpserver=plenty.dreamhost.com&ftpserverport=21&username=tdonaghe&password_encrypted=613861626F6630323235&language=en&skin=blue&ftpmode=binary&passivemode=yes&sslconnect=no&viewmode=list&sort=&sortorder=&state=browse&state2=main&directory=/delipaste.icuo.us/releases/20060916053057/script)/process), I see that the permissions are not set so that the reaper file is executable (it looks like rw-r–r–). I have no way to do a “chmod” on the file in windows, do I? I can’t fix it in that releases directory either, because the next time I run “cap deploy” it puts a new version of the files up there and reaper is still not executable. How can I get Capistrano to deploy reaper in such a way that it’s executable? What should I do?

You can issue the chmod after a code update. You should have a task (or you can create it) called after\_code\_update, that automatically runs after it updates the code into a releases dir – where you can issue the chmod command: desc “Tasks to execute after code update” task :after\_update\_code, :roles =\> [:app, :db] do # fix permissions run “chmod +x #{release\_path}/script/spawner” run “chmod +x #{release\_path}/script/spawner” end hope that helps, On 9/16/06, Terry D.

Well, I tried dropping the task Charles wrote at the bottom of deploy.rb and now when I do “cap deploy” it stops again because it looks like it’s trying to “chmod” those files before they exist. - executing “chmod +x /home/tdonaghe/delipaste.icuo.us/releases/20060916150540/script/spawner” servers: [“[delipaste.icuo.us](http://delipaste.icuo.us)”] [[delipaste.icuo.us](http://delipaste.icuo.us)] executing command \*\* [out :: [delipaste.icuo.us](http://delipaste.icuo.us)] chmod: cannot access `/home/tdonaghe/delipaste.icuo.us/releases/20060916150540/script/spawner’: No such file or directory And sure enough there is no 20060916150540 directory under the releases directory. Can someone please let me know what I’m doing wrong or what else I can try? Thanks!! On 9/16/06, Terry D.

Thanks Charles! Umm… I have no idea where that bit of code might go… Which file and where? Sorry - I’m awful new to doing anything with Capistrano. Thanks again. Terry On 9/16/06, Charles Brian Q.
