Deploy.rb file contents:

set :deploy_to, "/home/edward/captest2"

set :application, "captest2"

role :web, "localhost"

default_run_options[:pty] = true

set :repository,  "edward.m@deditest1.example.net:/usr/home/git"

set :scm, "git"

set :scm_passphrase, Proc.new { Capistrano::CLI.password_prompt("GIT Password for #{scm_user}:") }  #This is your custom users password

set :user, "edward"

set :branch, "master"

ssh_options[:forward_agent] = true

You need to post your deploy.rb. It looks like you have an error in your role definitions. — Sarah Mei, Jul 20 '09 at 19:56

The roles should look like this:

set :application, "deditest1.example.net"
set :domain, "deditest1.example.net"

role :app, application
role :web, application
role :db, application

You've set an "app" role, but no "db" or "web". If everything is on localhost, use this instead: server "localhost", :app, :web, :db, :primary => true
