Capistrano mkdir permission denied

Question

When I run cap production deploy I get cannot create directory ‘/var/www/application/repo’: Permission denied.

So far I\'ve created deploy user

Answer 1

By default Capistrano 3 deploys to /var/www which is not writable by deploy user. You need to change the ownership of /var/www to deploy user using the following command.

sudo chown deploy:deploy /var/www/

After this, you should be able to deploy your app without permission error.
