Hey Melvin, can you still put custom cap functions in the the deploy file?
like:
desc “Clear Action Cache”
task :clear_action_cache do
run ” cd #{release_path} && rake tmp:cache:clear”
end

or one to reset/rebuild sphinx?

Hi Dan, I’m glad you found it useful. And yes, Ubuntu 8.10 is the minimum requirement for this.

Thanks for the well written & designed tutorial.

I had to upgrade from Ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10, Moonshine:Manifest required it.

Other then that it went surprisingly smoothly. I love how it does everything – it even creates the mysql user/db based on database.yml.

I did all the steps again and right now it works.

The only difference is that I upgraded my gems and this "Dir['vendor/plugins/*/recipes/*.rb'].each { |plugin| load(plugin) }" appeared to my Capfile.

is just [server "masylum", :app, :web, :db, :primary => true] where masylum is the equivalent to blackbox on my .ssh/config

Maybe I need to install/upgrade any gem?

Your files look pretty close to mine. I don't see any issues with them. What does your config/deploy.rb file look like? Did you remove all the stuff in it and just have one line that looks something like this:

 server “blackbox”, :app, :web, :db, :primary => true

Can you add your moonshine.yml file to pastie.org and add a link here. I've never gotten that error so I'll just have to look to see your moonshine.yml file.

Also, add an issue to http://github.com/railsmachine/moonshine/issues so someone else with the same issue will be able to see it and view all the responses to it in the future. Definitely add the link to the pastie in it as well.

I'm trying to use moonshine to deploy my rails application but I have a problm that I'm not able to solve.

When I try to run "cap deploy:setup" it outputs an error saying "Please specify the name of your application, set :application, 'foo'"

I don't understand why I'm having that error because the application name is set on the config/moonshine.yml file.

Thank's in advance!
