Hi there - you should probably use svn+ssh -- unless support sets up a special vhost for you to allow svn of http.  

Thanks, that cleared up that problem. In the recipe in the tutorial, the svn+ssh line was commented out. Once I changed this, it deploys fine.

Now the issue is that I'm not seeing my changes on the server after deployment. Previously I had setup an application manually and created a symbolic link to it. It's still pointing there.

How do I get my public_html to point to the capistrano deployed application? Is it just a matter of creating another symbolic link, but this time to the current directory in the capistrano deployment?

that's correct - just

rm public_html

then

ln -s ~/path/to/your/apps/current/public ~/public_html

cap should take care of the rest thereafter.

(well - actually - I would expect cap to take care of this originally with the cold deploy...but....you get the idea)

Thanks. I seem to have got a bit further... Now what I'm seeing is:

Is there a permission or something that needs to be set on the ~/public_html symbolic link? Does mongrel need to be restarted for this app?

Hi there - actually that was a problem we had with apache. Sorry about that.  You don't need to do anything special with your symlink's permissions.  And yes you'll need to restart mongrel when you make changes to your models and controllers.  Is cap working for you now?

It works great now! Thanks for all your help.
