Capistrano from Windows with Pageant

Question

I have a simple task... cap foreman:restart. I'm able to access the server through PuTTY (which is using Pageant), but apparently Capistrano doesn't know about that?

** [out :: staging.fanmouth.com] restart: Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.4640" (uid=1000 pid=13681 comm="restart fanmouth-scheduler ") interface="com.ubuntu.Upstart0_6.Job" member="Restart" error name="(unset)" requested_reply="0" destination="com.ubuntu.Upstart" (uid=0 pid=1 comm="/sbin/init")
** [out :: staging.fanmouth.com]

failed: "env PATH=/usr/local/rbenv/shims:$PATH RAILS_STAGE=staging sh -c 'sudo -p '\\''sudo password: '\\'' start fanmouth-scheduler || restart fanmouth-scheduler'" on staging.fanmouth.com

It asks me for the password... I enter it, and get that. If I type the password wrong, it tells me so (three times and exits).

deploy.rb

set :ssh_options, { :forward_agent => true }

Some searching on the web shows that that should be set... I've tried it with false with the same results.

I don't know much about SSH, or Pageant. Any idea where I'm going wrong?

Answer 1

I might late to answer you. But this would help to someone else.

As shown above, you would need to load your key in "pageant". While adding key it asks for passphrase.

After getting pageant up, try to connect via capistrano.
