capistrano deployment with use_sudo=true - permissions problem
- by Pavel K.
i am trying to do a deployment with capistrano to newly installed Ubuntu server
i am deploying to directory /var/www, owned by root, so i need to set use_sudo to true
while i execute commands with run "#{try_sudo} command" without problem, svn checkout doesn't work with sudo prefix
i try
set :deploy_via, :export
and it throws
Can't make directory '/var/www/pr_name/releases/20091217171253': Permission denied
during checkout
i imagine adding "try_sudo" prefix to "svn export" would help, but where can i edit the one it uses in deploy_via?
--
if on other hand i don't use use_sudo, and set /var/www/ directory ownership to myuser, i still cannot deploy - some of my deployment commands set folders ownership to apache user www-data and then i get something like:
changing ownership of `/var/www/pr_name/current/specificdirectory': Operation not permitted
which, if i understand correctly, has to be done with sudo
