[chef] Re: application_php: deploy_revision fails on attempt to use ~apache/.ssh/known_hosts

In addition you can use the deploy_revision resource that is well documented over at http://docs.opscode.com/resource_deploy.html

It also has the example for php app as well.

How can I debug SSH-related git commands performed by the

deploy_revision provider for an application deployed with the

application_php cookbook?

I have a cookbook that depends on application and application_php,

with simple default recipe like:

application "my_app" do

path "/srv/my_app"

owner node[:apache][:user]

group node[:apache][:user]

scm_provider Chef::Provider::Git

repository " "> :my_org/my_app.git"

deploy_key "my_deployment_private_key_here"

mod_php_apache2

end

It fails like this (see more at <https://gist.github.com/pmocek/4733480>):

[2013-02-07T19:08:16+00:00] FATAL: Mixlib::ShellOut::ShellCommandFailed: deploy_revision[my_app] (/tmp/vagrant-chef-1/chef-solo-1/cookbooks/application/providers/default.rb line 122) had an error: Mixlib::ShellOut::ShellCommandFailed: Expected process to exit with [0], but received '128'

STDOUT:

Ran git ls-remote "> :my_org/my_app.git HEAD returned 128

/var/www is the home directory of node[:apache][:user].

In addition to my application's cookbook, I'm using the following,

managed by Berkshelf:

* apache2 (1.3.2)

* application (2.0.0)

* application_php (1.0.4)

* build-essential (1.3.0)

* mysql (2.0.2)

* openssl (1.0.0)

* php (1.1.0)

* xml (1.1.0)

Searching the application and application_php cookbooks, I don't

find any matches on "ls-remote" or "known_hosts". I haven noticed

anything in the docs for those cookbooks or for the deploy_version

provider about setting an SSH configuration directory. Web

searches for combinations of the applicable cookbooks and

directories have not turned up useful information. Searching this

list, I found a related thread ["Could not create directory

'/nonexistent/.ssh'. (may be red herring)"][1] but it didn't get

past a suggestion to "adjust the home directory or instruct SSH

where to store the known hosts in the event the default cannot be

written to," and it seems to me that doing so would likely mask

either a bug in or deficiency of documentation for one of these

cookbooks.
