capistrano-git configuration is changing hosts

Question

My provider (dreamhost) changed servers on me. My cap deploy:migrations command is now giving me grief. It uses the new servername everywhere except when it asks for my password.

Instead of

[email protected]

It uses

[email protected]

A sanitized version of the outputs is below.

d@d-laptop:~/projectname$ cap deploy:migrations   
* executing `deploy:migrations'   
* executing `deploy:update_code'
        updating the cached checkout on all servers
        executing locally: "git ls-remote ssh://[email protected]/~/repos/projectname/ master"   * executing "if [ -d /home/username/servername..../shared/cached-copy ]; then ... fi"
        servers: ["url"]
        [streamline.ruil-project.net] executing command  

** [streamline.ruil-project.net :: out]

[email protected]'s password:

Is the user name being stored in ssh-keygen that git or capistrano is relying on? Any ideas?

Answer 1

When you deploy using capistrano there is a git repository called cached-copy placed on the server. If your server gets switched from (old.dreamhost.com) to (new.dreamhost.com), then you need to make sure to update the git settings to reflect this in cached-copy.
