Setting Capistrano current path

Question

I need to override default Capistrano current path. I want to deploy to /var/www/apps/myapp and then get current symlink set at /var/www/mysite.com instead of default /var/www/apps/myapp/current. How do I achieve that?

Answer 1

Define the following in your deploy.rb:

set :current_path, '/var/www/mysite.com'

That might trip up plugins, script or other parts of capistrano that assume a default layout.

A safer solution would be to simply symlink /var/www/mysite.com to /var/www/apps/myapp/current
