Capistrano deploy:start with unicorn

Question

Deploying with capistrano. Everything goes fine, and then while deploy:start (during deploy:cold), it produces an error:

  * ←[32m2013-03-14 15:03:05 executing `deploy:start'←[0m
  * ←[33mexecuting "/etc/init.d/unicorn_appname start"←[0m

The file in question exists. Here's it's contents:

Having tried to run the command through ssh (sh -c '/etc/init.d/unicorn_appname start'), I've encountered the same error.

What can be the reason?

Answer 1

This most probably occurs if you have symlinked from the relative path vs absolute path. Try to symlink again by providing the absolute path.

chmod +x /home/username/app/app_name/current/config/unicorn_init.sh

ln -nfs /home/username/app/app_name/current/config/unicorn_init.sh /etc/init.d/unicorn_app_name

And see if this works

Answer 2

Thank you all for the suggestions. The problem is finally solved. The issue turned out to be with deployment from a windows machine - .sh file had Windows-styled line endings and could not be correctly read by unix. The solution was in changing IDE settings accordingly (for Rubymine: File->Settings->Code style->General->Line separator->unix) and recreating the file. Then: git add . git commit -m "fix" git push cap deploy:setup cap deploy:cold

Done! Thanks again eveybody!

P.S.: does anybody know why can asset pipeline not work after deployment?
