The next release of Capistrano will do "chmod -R g+w" on the new release during the update_code task, which should fix group permissions issues. Regarding the second set of directories you indicated, those directories are all explicitly removed and then symlinked by Capistrano on each deploy. You should be able to fix your permission issues once by chmoding the #{shared_path} and its contents. After that, they won't change, since the shared directory is not touched by the deploy process.

Hi there,





Group Permissions


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


#{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

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? We have found that when deploying applications that a lot of the permission errors can be fixed by running the following; We have problems with the following folders, which are in subversion (with their contents ignored).
