Capistrano: linked file database.yml does not exist on my.server.ipadress

Question

after i try to deploy my app via capistrano to my server i get this error message:

DEBUG [605f198a] Finished in 0.084 seconds with exit status 1 (failed).
ER         


        

Answer 1

As i prefer to have my files central on the deployment server, i use this task to deploy the config files from the config dir to the linked files dir on the app server.

This uses rsync, since i use capistrano-rsync to deploy.

namespace :deploy do

  task :copy_config do
    on release_roles :app do |role|
      fetch(:linked_files).each do |linked_file|
        user = role.user + "@" if role.user
        hostname = role.hostname
        linked_files(shared_path).each do |file|
          run_locally do
            execute :rsync, "config/#{file.to_s.gsub(/.*\/(.*)$/,"\\1")}", "#{user}#{hostname}:#{file.to_s.gsub(/(.*)\/[^\/]*$/, "\\1")}/"
          end
        end
      end
    end
  end

end
before "deploy:check:linked_files", "deploy:copy_config"

Just create /home/deploy/myrailsapp/shared/config/database.yml file manually and adjust it.

Capistrano doesn't create (or manage) configuration file out of the box. So, you should do it manually or automate use own Capistrano scripts, Puppet, Chef, Ansible tools.
