Question

I'm trying to set up Mina for deploying my Rails app. Unfortunately, when running mina setup or mina deploy, I get to the password prompt, and then nothing happens anymore.

I can manually ssh with the given user and password, so this shouldn't be a problem. But I have no idea, where mina's stuck:

  josh@macbuech:~/Documents/Work/MuheimWebdesign/base (features/deployment *)$ mina deploy --verbose
  base@josh.ch's password: 


  -----> Mina: SIGINT received.
         Elapsed time: 61.00 seconds

Interestingly, yesterday it was suddenly able to connect (one of a dozen retries worded, I guess):

josh@macbuech:~/Documents/Work/MuheimWebdesign/base (features/deployment *)$ mina deploy --verbose
base@josh.ch's password: 
       stdin: is not a tty  
       jailshell: line 3: cd: /var/www/base.josh.ch: No such file or directory
 !     ERROR: not set up.
       The path '/var/www/base.josh.ch' is not accessible on the server. 
       You may need to run 'mina setup' first. 

 !     Command failed.
       Failed with status 15

Then, I couldn't connect to my server anymore (neither by using mina nor plain ssh). I had to call support, and they did something that re-enabled ssh for me. Mina still doesn't work.

In config/deploy.rb, I only added set :user ... and changed :domain, :deploy_to and :repository.

set :domain, 'josh.ch'
set :user, 'base'
set :deploy_to, "/var/www/base.josh.ch"
set :repository, 'git://jmuheim/base'
set :branch, 'master'

Any idea? I'd rather not switch back to Capistrano... Thank you.

Was it helpful?

Solution

This is an old question but this is for any future Googlers that stumble across this. I had the issue described in the question, mina hanging after password entry. Looking around in the issues section of the mina git repo lead me to the fix, albeit a silly one.

In your deploy.rb file put this setting:

set :term_mode, nil

OTHER TIPS

Have you tried run: 

mina init

after install gem?

Can you show your deploy.rb?

I didn't have any luck with password authentication. But with public key SSH authentication, it's working fine.
