Is id_rsa.ppk an SSH1 key or an SSH2 key? Net::SSH (which is used by Capistrano) only understands SSH2 keys, not SSH1. If you used ssh- keygen to generate the key, this means that you must use either 'rsa' or 'dsa' as the parameter to the -t switch, and NOT 'rsa1'.
Is anyone else using cap+Pageant, who can comment as to whether it is working for them or not? - Jamis On May 7, 2008, at 3:41 AM, giorgio wrote: > > I am having trouble getting Capistrano to get off the start line. > > I can log on to the server in question from Win XP using Putty and > with "id_rsa.ppk" loaded into Pageant. > > It works fine.
