Rake db:seed on EC2

Rails
1

Hey guys,

How would one run the equivalent of rake db:seed on their EC2 instance?
I
added this to my deploy.rb file:

namespace :deploy do
desc “Populates the Production Database”
task :seed do
puts “\n\n=== Populating the Production Database! ===\n\n”
run “cd #{current_path}; rake db:seed RAILS_ENV=production”
end
end

But when running cap deploy:seed, I got:

  • executing `deploy:db:seed’

=== Populating the Production Database! ===

  • executing “cd /mnt/thestashbox-production/current; rake db:seed
    RAILS_ENV=production”
    servers: [“testing.thestash.com”]
    connection failed for: testing.thestash.com (Timeout::Error: execution
    expired)

Is there something I could be missing?

I’m using rubber to deploy to my ec2 instance.
