I’m used the deprec gem to set up capistrano, subversion, apache, etc  
It works great except that my rails app has a file upload feature that  
doesn’t work due to a permissions error. On a server where apache and  
mongrel are both running as www-data it works fine but not on the server  
where apache runs as daemon, mongrel runs as my app name and the  
permissions for the directory are for deploy. I believe that’s was  
causing my problem.

How can I reconcile that? I tried adding daemon to the deploy group and  
vice versa but I think it’s b/c mongrel is still running as app\_appname  
even though I put this in my deploy.rb:

set :mongrel\_user, ‘www-data’

Any tips would be much appreciated.

Thanks,  
Vince
