Question

I\'m trying to deploy code with Capistrano 3 to Ubuntu server from GIT repository, but I\'m getting this error.

Answer 1

So what are the permissions for /var/www/my_app in your remote machine ? Make sure they are owned by the same user that you specified in this config option:

set :user, "mydeployuser"

If not I believe Capistrano defaults to the user you are using to run the 'cap' command on the client machine. Make sure that it has permissions to modify/create /var/www/my_app

Since you have:

set :use_sudo, true

it's possible that sudo may not be setup as passwordless sudo like suggested in the Cap 3 docs
