Post Reply? I do my development on a Windows laptop (I know, I know…). I am struggling to get a capistrano deployment system going for the first time. I have followed the instructions in the support wiki “Capistrano” topic to create my config/deploy.rb file. When I run “cap deploy” from my dev machine, it seems to do fine until it wants to run the script located at: /home/#{user}/mydomain.com/current/script/process/reaper at which point capistrano encounters a “permission denied” error and exits. When I log on to the shell and look at the permissions on that file, I see that sure enough, the execute bit is not set. Now, logging on to the console and typing “chmod +x mydomain.com/current/script/process/*” is not the problem. I could do that. My question is: what do I do so this problem doesn’t crop up EVERY time I deploy? Because next time, it will get those same scripts from the SVN repository and they still won’t have +x on them. Anybody else encountered this?
