Question

I\'m running unicorn and am trying to get zero downtime restarts working.

Answer 1

Keep in mind that: your working directory in unicorn.rb should be : /your/cap/directory/current

NOT be: File.expand_path("../..", FILE)

Because the unicorn and linux soft link forking error: soft link can not work well.

for example:

cd current #current is a soft link to another directory

... ...

when we get our working directory, we got the absolute path not the path in "current"
