Restart Unicorn issue (capistrano)

Question

I\'ve got following settings in deploy.rb to restart my server:

namespace :deploy do
  task :restart do
    run \"if [ -f #{unicorn_pid} ] &&         


        

Answer 1

You should give capistrano-unicorn a try, that's what I currently use with the default hooks mentioned below.

Setup

Add the library to your Gemfile:

ruby group :development do gem 'capistrano-unicorn', :require => false end

And load it into your deployment script config/deploy.rb:

ruby require 'capistrano-unicorn'

Add unicorn restart task hook:

ruby after 'deploy:restart', 'unicorn:reload' # app IS NOT preloaded after 'deploy:restart', 'unicorn:restart' # app preloaded after 'deploy:restart', 'unicorn:duplicate' # before_fork hook implemented (zero downtime deployments)
