For no other reason than this is something I need to remember on other projects, here is a list of the changes I made when I uninstalled deprec and upgraded to capistrano 2 for deployment.
Things to do
Do this once
gem install mongrel_cluster
then in the application directory
capify .
then remove “require ‘deprec/recipes’ from the deploy.rb file
then put the following in to the deploy.rb file
namespace :deploy do
task :start, :roles => :app do start_mongrel_cluster end
task :stop, :roles => :app do stop_mongrel_cluster end
task :restart, :roles => :app do restart_mongrel_cluster end
end
