Capistrano setup for MediaTemple Grid Server accounts

Posted January 28th, 2007

For the most part these tutorials work

however, some important things to change in the deploy.rb file that you get from http://gems.mediatemple.com/deploy.rb (PAY ATTENTION TO THE ‘%’!)

# ADD THIS!
set :user, "serveradmin%yourdomain.com"set :s_user, "serveradmin%25yourdomain.com"
# THEN REPLACE #{user} WITH #{s_user}
set :repository, "svn+ssh://#{s_user}@#{domain}/home/#{site}/data/gwirepo/greenwaysapp/trunk"

…then your ‘cap update_code’ will work. good luck.by the way, if you are wondering how to redeploy (ie. you’ve changed code and want it on the server), here are the steps:

  1. commit your work to the repository
  2. ‘cap deploy’
  3. there is no step 3 :)

again, good luck…
