I don't know that particular error, but looking at the code in Capistrano <a href="http://dev.rubyonrails.org/browser/tools/capistrano/lib/capistrano/scm/subversion.rb?rev=4828" rel="nofollow">here</a>, I think this <i>could</i> mean that it can't locate you repository at all, since getting the latest revision is the first thing it attempts to do. The trunk thing shouldn't make any difference, as long as you are pointing to the correct path in <code>deploy.rb</code>, trunk or no trunk. Hi Bruno,

Sorry about my late reply, your question seems to have stuck in my moderation inbox for some reason.

I don’t know that particular error, but looking at the code in Capistrano here, I think this could mean that it can’t locate you repository at all, since getting the latest revision is the first thing it attempts to do.

The trunk thing shouldn’t make any difference, as long as you are pointing to the correct path in deploy.rb, trunk or no trunk.

It sounds to me like you are pointing the domain to /public, instead of /current/public. This is an important difference between deploying with and without Capistrano. If the Rails application resides in the current directory, you have deployed successfully, but are just pointing the web server to the wrong directory.

I’m a bit confused as to what’s happened & where the process is failing.

The deploy script shouldn't really abort on not being able to find a dispatch.fcgi process to kill. The script is not trying to start dispatch.fcgi, it's trying to kill in order to force a restart, so all cached stuff is flushed after the release. When there is not dispatch.fcgi to kill, it just means that no one has hit your Rails application for a while, and thus; there is nothing to kill. So, it's not a critical problem in any way. There is absolutely no problem in running the Capistrano script against a subdomain. That's what I do myself for all my projects, I've just replaced it with mydomain.com in the examples to make it look nicer. Good luck with your deployment! Hi qrail, and thanks.
