I am using capistrano to deplay my rails application on a Ubuntu server.
I already logged into the server and created a folder /webapps/myapp, but no sub folders from here.
Then I run
cap deploy:setup
No errors so far, so i run
cap deploy:setup
Now I get this message
You do not have permissions to write to /webapps/myapp/releases
I can get around this by logging in to the server and change the owner of releases, I just wonder why it is not created with the user I use for deploying? Is this how it work or am I missing something?

If you are not developing a gem, but simply using Capistrano to deploy an application: Your deployment will be unique to your particular project, based on a combination of various Capistrano gems, configuration, server environment, etc. The only real way to test your deployment is by using a staging environment.
Capistrano is a utility and framework for executing commands in parallel on multiple remote machines, via SSH.
In your deploy.rb file you should specify the deployment user and if he has sudo privilege.
set :user, "william"
set :use_sudo, false
Giving sudo privilege isn't recommended, but this option exists.
The directory to which you deploy should be already owned by the deployment user "william"
