Capistrano mkdir permission denied

Question

When I run cap production deploy I get cannot create directory ‘/var/www/application/repo’: Permission denied.

So far I\'ve created deploy user

Answer 1

Had the same error here, following the good tutorial of GoRails "Deploy Ruby on Rails To Production in 2019", where he create a user "deploy" and set to deploy the app in "home/deploy". Don't forget that you have to use the username created on the server. So deploy's directory is "home/USERNAME".
