I set up Litespeed for the first time last night and like how simple it seemed to make Rails run under it. Now I’d like to try to deploy my app using vlad, but I can’t seem to get vlad to work.

I followed the instructions on the vlad site for incorporating into my app and deploying all to a single server. When I run rake vlad:setup or rake vlad:update it errors out and the stack trace tells me it’s from vlad:setup_app(first_time) inside the vlad core file. I’m trying to track that down now, but I was just wondering if anyone else had run into that problem before….

Ok…so here’s some specifics.

Not sure if this is a bug or just my usage of vlad.

I’m trying to deploy to litespeed. I’ve read through the source and thought I was going down the right path. Here’s what I’ve got:

config/deploy.rb

require ‘vlad/litespeed’

set :user, “root” set :application, “freightzone” set :domain, ”#{user}@prime8s.com” set :deploy_to, ”/srv/www/freightzone” set :repository, “http://svn.bradysoft.com/freightzone/trunk/freightzone/”

host domain, :web, :db

And then I copied the apache.rb file and created litespeed.rb in /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/vlad-1.1.0/lib/vlad.

require ‘vlad’

namespace :vlad do ## # litespeed web server puts “litespeed loaded” end

set :web_command, "/opt/lsws/bin/lswsctrl"

desc "(Re)Start the web servers"

remote_task :start_web, :roles => :web  do
  run "#{web_command} restart" 
end

desc "Stop the web servers"

remote_task :stop_web, :roles => :web  do
  run "#{web_command} stop" 
end

#

desc "(Re)Start the web and app servers"

remote_task :start do
  Rake::Task['vlad:start_app'].invoke
  Rake::Task['vlad:start_web'].invoke
end

desc "Stop the web and app servers"

remote_task :stop do
  Rake::Task['vlad:stop_app'].invoke
  Rake::Task['vlad:stop_web'].invoke
end

But when I run rake vlad:setup or vlad:update (with rake 0.7.3, 0.8.0, and 0.8.1) I get:
