Authentication failed with capifony

I'm trying to do a Symfony 2 project deployment web app based on capifony and Symfony2.

It uses Process to trigger my "cap deploy" task and display my output in a web browser.

When in a shell, if I run my "cap deploy" as user www-data (the same as used by Process) , my deployement works fine so there's nothing wrong either with my deploy task nor with my authentication keys. Though, when I call my task from my web app, capifony tells me it can't authenticate on the remote server.

triggering start callbacks for `deploy'

* executing `deploy:setdomain'
* executing `deploy'
* executing `deploy:update'
** transaction: start
* executing `deploy:update_code'

triggering before callbacks for `deploy:update_code'

** [deploy:update_code] exception while rolling back: Capistrano::ConnectionError, connection failed for: [ remote server ] (Net::SSH::AuthenticationFailed: [ user ])
connection failed for: [ remote server ] (Net::SSH::AuthenticationFailed: [ user ])

I'm trying to figure out why capifony seems to expect a password I can't provide since i'm not running it from a shell, whereas when I do run it from a shell, it works fine without asking me anything.

Once again, the same file is called from the same user.

Solution

  • This is a known "bug"

    You need to tell capistrano wich key to use

    Try adding this to your deploy.rb : 

    ssh_options[:keys] = %w(/what/ever/.ssh/id_rsa)
