Running migration on server when deploying with capistrano
- by Pandafox
Hi, I'm trying to deploy my rails application with capistrano, but I'm having some trouble running my migrations. In my development environment I just use sqlite as my database, but on my production server I use MySQL.
The problem is that I want the migrations to run from my server and not my local machine, as I am not able to connect to my database from a remote location.
My server setup:
A debian box running ngnix, passenger, mysql and a git repository.
What is the easiest way to do this?
update:
Here's my deploy script:
set :application, "example.com"
set :domain, "example.com"
set :scm, :git
set :repository, "[email protected]:project.git"
set :use_sudo, false
set :deploy_to, "/var/www/example.com"
role :web, domain
role :app, domain
role :db, "localhost", :primary = true
after "deploy", "deploy:migrate"
When I run cap deploy, everything is working fine until it tries to run the migration.
Here's the error I'm getting:
** [deploy:update_code] exception while rolling back: Capistrano::ConnectionError, connection failed for: localhost (Errno::ECONNREFUSED: Connection refused - connect(2))
connection failed for: localhost (Errno::ECONNREFUSED: Connection refused - connect(2)))
This is why I need to run the migration from the server and not from my local machine.
Any ideas?
