Capistrano + Git : repository local to production server

Question

I am trying to do \'deploy:cold\' for my app. The git repo is local to my deployment server (i.e. I only have one server for everything and I don\'t host my code on github).

Answer 1

Log in as the user of the site you are deploying to and try this to see if your user has permission to access that directory:

ls -la /home/mrichman/git/myapp.git

If you get a Permission denied error then you'll have to make sure that you set permissions on the enclosing directories of the repository that allow the deployment script to access the files.
