Question

I want to deploy Ruby on Rails web site and using Capistrano for this purpose.

After I had filled in the deploy.rb file and ran cap deploy:setup this is what I got

C:\Sites\blog>cap deploy:setup

Any suggestions on what might be going wrong?

Answer 1

It seems that you cannot even log in into your remote server. Capistrano needs SSH access, so try to ssh in your server using the same credentials of the cap configuration, and you can’t, contact your hosting provider to give you ssh access to the machine.
