capistrano errors

Question

After executing

cap deploy:setup

I get this error

failed: "sh -c 'sudo -p '\\''sudo password: '\\'' mkdir -p /u/apps/blog /u/apps/blog/releases /u/apps/blog/shared /u/apps/blog/shared/system /u/apps/blog/shared/log /u/apps/blog/shared/pids'" on foobar.com

Here is the content of my deploy.rb

require 'capistrano'


    # Account Settings
    set :user, "user"
    set :password, "pass"
    set :domain, "foobar.com"
    set :mount_path, "/"
    set :application, "blog"

    set :repository, "/Users/me/Desktop/project"
    set :local_repository, "/Users/me/Desktop/project"
    set :scm, :git
    set :deploy_via, :copy

    role :app, 'foobar.com'
role :web, 'foobar.com'

What could be the problem ?

//EDIT

Run it verbose with `cap -v deploy:setup`? – gmalette Jul 19 '12 at 14:00 — gmalette, Jul 19 '12 at 14:00

Add this line to your deploy.rb (for example after set :application, "blog")

default_run_options[:pty] = true

And now run:

cap -v deploy:setup

If you don't have sudo privileges add this line to deploy.rb:

set :use_sudo, false

You must have permissions to create /u/apps/blog directory or change deploy folder with:

set :deploy_to, "/home/user_name/apps/blog"

Already did that but looks like capistrano want sudo access. But I don't have a such. – mojodro Jul 19 '12 at 14:19
I get mkdir: cannot create directory `/u': Permission denied – mojodro Jul 19 '12 at 14:31

add this line `set :deploy_to, "/home/youtuser/apps/blog"` – rogal111 Jul 19 '12 at 14:32
Thank you thank you thank you! The `set :deploy_to` line is missing in Webfaction's documentation. Added that in and it works like a charm. – Siobhán Oct 31 '12 at 17:50
I was getting the same error because - `set :application, "blog"` and `set :deploy_to, "/home/youtuser/apps/blog"` where not same, meaning i was using a different name instead of application name in `:deploy_to` – poorva Sep 23 '14 at 13:05
This no longer works in Capistrano 3 as the `:use_sudo` config option has been removed. See http://stackoverflow.com/a/21336645/83743 for alternatives. – Chris Bloom Dec 09 '14 at 13:34
