Delayed job wont start using Capistrano

Question

I cannot start delayed job process using a capistrano recipe. Here\'s the error I am getting.

/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/delayed_job-2.1.1/lib/delayed/         


        

Answer 1

I had the same issue. Turned out that there was an existing

application_name/shared/pids/delayed_job.main.pid

file, which had incorrect owner permissions, which was causing the deployment to fail. Fixing this file's permissions solved the issue for me.
