So, if you do "cap deploy", and get the "no such task `deploy'" error, check the following:
1. Do you have a file in the current directory called 'Capfile'? If not, that's the problem, because Capistrano looks for a file called 'Capfile' to load. Try typing "capify ." to get things set up correctly. 2. If you do have a Capfile, check to see if you have a deploy.rb in your current directory. If you do, that's the problem. Either rename it, or move it to a different directory. The Capfile is most likely doing a "load 'deploy'", which is finding the deploy.rb in your current directory, instead of the global deployment recipes. - Jamis On 8/7/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I am having the same problem.
