First Capistrano update fails `mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/home/deploy’: Permission denied` Ubuntu 20.04 about installer HOT 5 CLOSED

Hi, @4-3is4-me 😄.

Try changing the deploy_to line in the deploy-secrets.yml file, so its value is "/home/ubuntu/consul".

Hope that works!

Yes, it worked I hadn't noticed that, thank you. Not sure if it's related, but now I am getting the 404 page. The change I made was to enable multitenancy
https://docs.consuldemocracy.org/tech_docs/features/multitenancy#common-step-for-all-consul-democracy-installations
application_custom.rb looks like this

module Consul
  class Application < Rails::Application
    config.multitenancy = true
  end
end

Removing the config.multitenancy = true I get the home page.
Any guidance you can offer is gratefully received. 😊

Apologies, I also cannot get multitenancy to be enabled using the other option in
https://docs.consuldemocracy.org/tech_docs/features/multitenancy#common-step-for-all-consul-democracy-installations
so I will open another issue in the consul repo if I cannot get it to work.
As my original query is resolved I will mark as closed.
Thanks again 😊

Hi again, @4-3is4-me 😄.

Make sure the server_name is correctly configured in the secrets.yml file (its value should be the domain of your application; for example, in our demo server, we have server_name: "demo.consuldemocracy.org"). This is supposed to be configured before running the installer, but unfortunately the documentation isn't clear about that because we also support deploying to IP addresses with no domain 😌. Sorry for that! 🙏

If that doesn't solve the issue, could you check the logs and paste the output when you get the 404 error? Also, what's the URL you're accessing?

@javierm thanks again, that did the trick! I think it's my error as it was configured as the local IP. I am using two ubuntu EC2s in AWS, one as a 'local' machine to configure the other as a server. We are a volunteer group and I want to make it as easy as possible for others to access the 'local' machine to push updates. We aren't using Consul in production at the moment, but we may be offering it as a service to local community councils if it's suitable. 😊
