WP-Deploy, Capistrano, issues with bundle exec cap production uploads:pull

Question

I am attempting to fetch the uploads directory on my server, I am using https://github.com/Mixd/wp-deploy as a deployment system.

All other SSH commands work, such as deploy, etc, but this command fails for some reason, here is the trace.

Ivans-MacBook-Pro:project ivanristic$ sudo bundle exec cap production uploads:pull --trace

The ec2 key is valid, and it works for stuff such as:

bundle exec cap production deploy

but for some reason it is not working when I attempt to fetch the uploads directory from production.

The uploads dir does exist at, /var/www/html/shared/content/uploads, and it is very populated.

Answer 1

First off, I'm assuming that you know that running such commands as root is bad practice and you have a good reason to do so anyway.

The ssh keys are messed up somehow. The line:

rsync stderr: Permission denied (publickey).

is pointing this out.

I'm unsure as to why it is trying to run the rsync command as root on localhost. It might be that the ssh key is not installed for the root user.

Try running

rsync -avzO [email protected]:/var/www/html/shared/content/uploads/ content/uploads

and see if that sheds light.
