Thanks for the info and help Lee.
Since I had installed capistrano without sudo it had been installed in my
user directory ~/.gem/ruby/1.8
Because of this sudo gem uninstall didn't work and gem uninstall had
permissions problem. To remove capistrano from my user directory I found
this command:
gem uninstall capistrano --install-dir ~/.gem/ruby/1.8
Now I have a 'clean' system.
I installed capistrano versions 2.5.0 - 2.5.5 one by one and all work
however, my deploy is still failing...here's an excerpt from the log:
* executing "sudo -p 'sudo password: ' chown app_nsight_dev
/home/gspederson/apps/nsight_dev/shared/log/mongrel.log"
servers: ["209.20.85.24"]
[209.20.85.24] executing command
** [out :: 209.20.85.24] chown: invalid user: `app_nsight_dev'
command finished
*** [deploy:symlink] rolling back
I'm confused about why this is happening now and how to resolve this issue.
Thanks again for everyone's help
