Question

I am trying my first deployment of rails app using Capistrano to AWS.

I am stumped at the following error. apparently connection issue for my ssh, though i could see both my public and private key files are present at the following location
/home/thanikkal/.ssh/config (got added wen i did ssh-add)
can anyone tell why this error is? or suggest further trouble shooting steps?

• executing `deploy:setup’

  • executing “mkdir -p /home/ubuntu/myapp /home/ubuntu/myapp/releases /home/ubuntu/myapp/shared /home/ubuntu/myapp/shared/system /home/ubuntu/myapp/shared/
    log /home/ubuntu/myapp/shared/pids”

  servers: [“ec2-xx-xx-xxx-xx.compute-1.amazonaws.com”]
  connection failed for: ec2-xx-xx-xxx-xx.compute-1.amazonaws.com (Errno::EISDIR: Is a directory – /home/thanikkal/.ssh/config)

Answer 1

Looks like you have conflicting credentials in your “/home/thanikkal/.ssh/config”
You might want to remove and see if it works.

You also need to make sure the ssh key folder contains both public and private keys.
