乘客没有此类文件可加载配置/环境

Question

I was trying to make some simple changes to an old app of mine (Rails 3.0.0, Ruby 1.8.7) last night and ran into a number of issues upon deploy. I'm using Moonshine to handle deploys.

I can run cap deploy without error, but then I get the following Passenger error

no such file to load -- /srv/BBRatboard/releases/20130409025824/config/environment

I'm not sure if it's relevant, but when I ssh into the box, the whole config folder under /srv/BBRatboard/current/config is empty. Is this by design or is something going wrong in my deploy?

A number of people have been able to solve this by adjusting the permissions on the environment.rb file ( https://www.sit.auckland.ac.nz/Ruby_on_Rails_deployment ), but I'm not even able to see it on my production server.

I can provide any details necessary, any help would be GREATLY appreciated as the app is currently in a broken state.

Thanks so much.

You definitely need files to be present within your config directory. It looks like your cap deploy output shows it it is deleting the release's config directory:

executing "chmod -R -- g+w /srv/BBRatboard/releases/20130409032459 && rm -rf -- /srv/BBRatboard/releases/20130409032459/system && ln -s -- /srv/BBRatboard/shared/system /srv/BBRatboard/releases/20130409032459/system && rm -rf -- /srv/BBRatboard/releases/20130409032459/log && ln -s -- /srv/BBRatboard/shared/log /srv/BBRatboard/releases/20130409032459/log && rm -rf -- /srv/BBRatboard/releases/20130409032459/pids && ln -s -- /srv/BBRatboard/shared/pids /srv/BBRatboard/releases/20130409032459/pids && rm -rf -- /srv/BBRatboard/releases/20130409032459/config && ln -s -- /srv/BBRatboard/shared/config /srv/BBRatboard/releases/20130409032459/config"

(look at the end, rm -ff -- /srv/BBRatboard/releases/20130409032459/config ). Although its also trying to symlink the config directory to the shared/config directory ( ln -s -- /srv/BBRatboard/shared/config /srv/BBRatboard/releases/20130409032459/config )

I'm guessing that the shared/config directory is created during cap deploy:setup (based on the Moonshine docs which recommend running it before cap deploy ). I would ensure you have run the cap deploy:setup task beforehand, and check that your shared/config directory has contents such as the environment.rb file it claims is missing.

After a little more digging, it looks like this is an issue of differing versions of capistrano/moonshine and the way they handle the shared assets.

I followed a suggestion at https://github.com/railsmachine/moonshine/wiki/Moonshine.yml-files-not-being-loaded-or-configuration-object-appears-empty

namely replacing config with tmp and it seems to work for now!
