Question

When I try to deploy my rails app to Rackspace using Moonshine, I get the following error:

How should I go about fixing this?
If you don’t know how to fix it, what are other gems that would help me deploy my app to Rackspace.

Answer 1

I found the issue. Capistrano was pulling the source from git and I forgot to push the new code. That means, application_manifest.rb didn’t exist on the server. After pushing, it worked perfectly.
