unable to deploy using Capistrano

Question

I've been struggling on this rails app for the past week and a half – any help would be appreciated.

Im running from a windows machine [vista]..using: latest rails to date [jan 2. 2010], capistrano 2.5.10, subversive plugin, TortoiseSVN

I've so far:- created the remote repository, created ssh keys, edited the TortoiseSVN config file. Not sure if I’ve left out anything. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Here’s the error message

* executing `deploy:cold'

  * executing `deploy:update'

    executing locally: "svn info svn+ssh://mydomain.com/home/45454/data/svn/repository/  -rHEAD"

Looks like when svn goes to checkout the code it can't either resolve the hostname as defined by :repository or it can't ssh into "mydomain.com".

executing locally: "svn info svn+ssh://mydomain.com/home/45454/data/svn/repository/  -rHEAD"

checking for svn... yes

Unable to open connection: Host does not existsvn: Connection closed unexpectedly

If you're deploying to your own Windows machine, try just using a local svn reference.
