I have a Rails 2 app that a friend (and way better rails dev) helped me update with Bundler so that gem dependencies were better handled.

Now I am trying to deploy the app and capistrano is failing.

that gist is the relevant log output from my capistrano deploy.

I am requiring:
require ‘capistrano/ext/multistage’
require ‘bundler/capistrano’

in my deploy.rb file

It seems to me that the issue is that capistrano can’t touch the gemfile because it doesn’t exist.

Any one have a way to resolve this?

The error message is bundle: command not found

You’ll have to gem install bundler or sudo gem install bundler on your server.
