trying to fix permission for tmp directory

[vpereira]

Hi,

I'm deploying my app as root. Everything is working fine, there is just a problem: I must set the permissions at the #{app_path}/tmp to "nobody:nogroup".

I added a task like

namespace :deploy do
  desc "set permissions on tmp directory"
  task :fix_permissions => :environment do
    queue! %[ echo "---> fixing permission at #{app_path}/tmp"]
    queue! %[ chown nobody:nogroup -R "#{app_path}/tmp" ]
  end
end

if I add this task to the "deploy" block, it doesn't work *i think the link to current is set after the deploy, because of that it sets the permission in the old release. If i add it to the launch block, i get an error saying that the directory /var/foo/current/tmp (my app_path/tmp) doesn't exist. There is any solution other then switch the deploy user?

@vpereira, the tmp we're talking about here is a subdirectory of your app, and not the tmp that's created by Mina for building the app, right?

Where did you define app_path?

Is your environment task doing anything?
