Uhm, ok, that's odd.

The Chef run fails while creating a symlink from /var/www/shared/database.yml to /var/www/releases/0465c9e08a9f73ba248bf814e9c816599e75dd95/config/database.yml

The log shows /var/www/shared/database.yml was created, so either it's lying, or it can't create the link in your target directory.

The former would be surprising and point to a bug somewhere—can you confirm /var/www/shared/database.yml is indeed there?

Verifying the latter is a bit tricky because the deploy resource (which is used under the hood) rolls back on error.

Add this to your application block: rollback_on_error true
