[Capistrano] Capistrano group and file permission best practices

[David Rice]

Hi there, In work we were discussing the issues we occasionally come across with deployments using capistrano, and wondered if there are any best practices to solve them. We are getting problems with Group and File permissions that we're solving with the following two tasks... however we want to move to a single deployment user that can be shared across the development team, and we don't want to give that user sudo access. Any ideas out there? Group Permissions We have found that when deploying applications that a lot of the permission errors can be fixed by running the following; desc "Change group to www-data" task :chown_to_www-data, :roles => [ :app, :db, :web ] do sudo "chown -R #{user}:www-data #{deploy_to}" end File Permissions We have problems with the following folders, which are in subversion (with their contents ignored).   #{current_path}/tmp #{current_path}/log #{current_path}/public/system desc "Fix file permissions" task :fix_file_permissions, :roles => [ :app, :db, :web ] do sudo "chmod -R g+rw #{current_path}/tmp" sudo "chmod -R g+rw #{current_path}/log" sudo "chmod -R g+rw #{current_path}/public/system" end Best, David Rice --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/capistrano -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
