OK turns out I have been looking at this all wrong. When dealing with
rails applications running with passenger the idea is that your web-
server is running outside your application domain. This is a good
thing as you restart passenger and not the entire web server. Once you
restart passenger the new code will be loaded. This is great if you
have other sites runnning in nginx as I do. This also allows for your
deployment user not to have any sudo as it does not even care what web
server is running. To restart passenger for your application use the
following command.
task :restart, :roles => :app, :except => { :no_release => true } do
run "touch #{File.join(current_path,'tmp','restart.txt')}"
end
Note that the file your dealing with is inside your app :). I have
taken all sudo access away form my deployment user. (helps me sleep at
night).
I felt a little sheepish when I found this out but here is the
solution for anyone thats having trouble.
