Capistrano not working for me

Hello fellow railers,

I’m new to the whole RoR thing and I have finished installing and
setting
everything up on my OSX G4 Powerbook. I followed the step by step
instructions at Hivelogic, running lighttpd and everything else. I’m
having
an issue with Capistrano.

I’m following the tutorial at Apple:
http://developer.apple.com/tools/rubyonrails.html

Everything in the tutorial worked fine until the very end. It told me
to
install Capistrano, so I did. I installed Capistrano as per the
following
url:
http://manuals.rubyonrails.com/read/chapter/98

It installed without issue. I can type cap -h and it works fine.

But, when I type

cap --apply-to /path/to/my/app MyApplicationName (the syntax)

I get an error. Specifically, from inside the expenses folder here’s
what
happens.


cap --apply-to /app MyExpenseApp

/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:21:in
require__': no such file to load -- /app/config/environment (LoadError) from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:21:in require’

from
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/capistrano-1.1.0/bin/cap:11
from /usr/local/bin/cap:18

I’ve tried going up a level and doing
cap --apply-to expenses/ MyExpenseApp
cap --apply-to expenses/app MyExpenseApp

What am I doing wrong? Until I do this right, I can’t use

$ rake deploy or $rake rollback

Thanks,
Steven

Change to the top level of the Rails’ application directory
and type:

cap --apply-to .
