Check needed recipes to be included

Verify you'd included correct recipes for your application (i.e. mysql recipe for application on postgres) in Capfile. For example:

set :recipes_dir, File.expand_path('/cap-recipes', __FILE__)
load recipes_dir + '/config/recipes/base'
load recipes_dir + '/config/recipes/nginx'
load recipes_dir + '/config/recipes/unicorn'

Setup instructions

bundle exec cap deploy:install
bundle exec cap bootstrap
bundle exec cap deploy:setup

Comment recipes loading

Open Capfile and comment part with recipes loading

set :recipes_dir, File.expand_path('/cap-recipes', __FILE__)
load recipes_dir + '/config/recipes/base'
load recipes_dir + '/config/recipes/nginx'
load recipes_dir + '/config/recipes/postgresql'
load recipes_dir + '/config/recipes/rbenv'
load recipes_dir + '/config/recipes/unicorn'

Final deploy

bundle exec cap deploy

3) Rolling back

bundle exec cap deploy:rollback

4) Known issues

• MySQL limitation to 16 symbols username can cause a problem in mysql recipe. To avoid this edit line set_default(:db_user) { "#{application}_production" } to get in this limit.
