Install Capistrano for work with PHP, MySQL and Apache

Goals
Use Capistrano with PHP+MySQL+Apache+SVN (LAMP).
Why? For optimization your work when you deploying project.
We will be import project from SVN-repository without '.svn'-files to staging server.
 Use only one command for deploy)

 Start configuration

1. For view version of the capistrano use: cap --version
2. Go to in the root of the application, and enter: "capify .". This will create two files: "./Capfile" and "./config/deploy.rb"
   

   Example:
   cd /home/example/public_html/
   capify . 

3. Configuration "conf/deploy.rb"
   Set name application (staging):
   

   set :application, "staging"

   Set path to SVN repository (svn://svn.yoursite.com/staging):
   

   set :repository, "svn://svn.yoursite.com/staging"

   Set role:
   

   role :web, "staging.yoursite.com"

   Set path for deploy (/home/staging/public_html)
   

   set :deploy_to, "/home/#{application}/public_html"

   Set type deploy from SVN
   

   set :checkout, "export"

   You can add new task, example "deploy:deploy", in other words "cap deploy:deploy"
   

   namespace :deploy do
   desc "This will deploy your site wo '.svn'-file and copy images files from previous repository"
   task "deploy" do
   run "svn --quiet #{checkout} #{repository} #{release_path}"
   run "ln -nfs #{release_path} #{current_path}"
   run "mkdir -m 777 #{release_path}/files/"
   run "cp -r #{previous_release}/files/* #{release_path}/files/"
   end
   end

4. For create default capistrano directory structure use: "cap deploy:setup". This will create the following directory structure:
   

   (deploy_to)/
   (deploy_to)/releases
   (deploy_to)/shared
   (deploy_to)/shared/system
   (deploy_to)/shared/pids
   (deploy_to)/shared/log
   
   
   Example:
   cd /home/example/public_html/
   cap deploy:setup

5. For view deploy commands use: cap -vT
   

   Example:
   cap deploy # Deploys your project.
   cap deploy:check # Test deployment dependencies.
   cap deploy:cleanup # Clean up old releases.
   cap deploy:cold # Deploys and starts a `cold' application.
   cap deploy:deploy # This will deploy your site and copy files
   cap deploy:finalize_update # [internal] Touches up the released code.
   cap deploy:migrate # Run the migrate rake task.
   cap deploy:migrations # Deploy and run pending migrations.
   cap deploy:pending # Displays the commits since your last deploy.
   cap deploy:pending:diff # Displays the `diff' since your last deploy.
   cap deploy:restart # Restarts your application.
   cap deploy:rollback # Rolls back to a previous version and restarts.
   cap deploy:rollback:cleanup # [internal] Removes the most recently deployed ...
   cap deploy:rollback:code # Rolls back to the previously deployed version.
   cap deploy:rollback:revision # [internal] Points the current symlink at the p...
   cap deploy:setup # Prepares one or more servers for deployment.
   cap deploy:start # Start the application servers.
   cap deploy:stop # Stop the application servers.
   cap deploy:symlink # Updates the symlink to the most recently deplo...
   cap deploy:update # Copies your project and updates the symlink.
   cap deploy:update_code # Copies your project to the remote servers.
   cap deploy:upload # Copy files to the currently deployed version.
   cap deploy:web:disable # Present a maintenance page to visitors.
   cap deploy:web:enable # Makes the application web-accessible again.
   cap invoke # Invoke a single command on the remote servers.
   cap shell # Begin an interactive Capistrano session.

   
   Extended help may be available for these tasks.
    Type `cap -e taskname' to view it.
6. Apache VirtualHost config
   Set document root to 'current'-path
   

   DocumentRoot /home/staging/public_html/current

   
   Allow symbolic links
   

   Options FollowSymLinks
   
   
   AllowOverride All
   allow from all

7. How use?
   Open putty (need ssh access).
   Change the directory to your site.
   Run capistrano.
   

   cd /home/staging/public_html/
   cap deploy:deploy
