I keep getting this error (OpenSSL::PKey::PKeyError: not a public key "/var/www/.ssh/id_rsa.pub")

Thanks in advance.

My deploy.rb looks like this:

  set :application, "goom"
    set :domain,      "goom@bloom.com"
    set :deploy_to,   "/var/www/goom"
    #set :app_path,    "app"

    set :repository,  "/var/www/goom/.git"
    set :scm,         :git
    set :deploy_via,  :copy
    # Or: `accurev`, `bzr`, `cvs`, `darcs`, `subversion`, `mercurial`, `perforce`, $

    set :model_manager, "doctrine"
    # Or: `propel`

    role :web,        domain                         # Your HTTP server, Apache/etc

    It turnes out that it is a format issue. Originally my public key had the following format:

    ---- BEGIN SSH2 PUBLIC KEY ----
Comment: "rsa-key-20101206"
AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABJQAAAQB80B66jlf+Xo3E0d6TJdojKB1mkblUCjyCaOA1

---- END SSH2 PUBLIC KEY ----

    Reformatting it to the following did the trick:
