Capifony error during deployment (OpenSSL::PKey::PKeyError: not a public key "/var/www/.ssh/id_rsa.pub")

capifony, capistrano, ssh-keys

Solution

It turnes out that it is a format issue. Originally my public key had the following format:

---- BEGIN SSH2 PUBLIC KEY ----
Comment: "rsa-key-20101206"
AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABJQAAAQB80B66jlf+Xo3E0d6TJdojKB1mkblUCjyCaOA1

---- END SSH2 PUBLIC KEY ----

Reformatting it to the following did the trick:

ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABJQAAAQB80B66jlf+Xo3E0d6TJdojKB1mkblUCjyCaOA1p2GpvQr+TjtCugdmh9069ybWcJCaRcvJu12pz/0iO8H0Ar/f3AiULaj6VHF9rdkAqp+k+Ih0ep204VENqgobGfDOKfBcd2o9P1zdbCuie28tGSxoQMZNVVPMXPgl80HQv8+dqL4YDEvsViOMa/A1pxlvw74XwU6jzaVM+4u2ysKu0xEJzSUR4wT4s7f0zr3GFNZDlj0vmuyggo9/3BIgtAQC9IcALqT5Jf3V5iN03+8uPUJVuy+XvIJoZJo5fnrTzXzDBdUmjJNt+zTYsX3/fHQZOxokHPiBQQ5OTL+NW1Uscukv

Problem

I keep getting this error `(OpenSSL::PKey::PKeyError: not a public key "/var/www/.ssh/id_rsa.pub")` Thanks in advance. My deploy.rb looks like this: ``` set :application, "goom" set :domain, "goom@bloom.com" set :deploy_to, "/var/www/goom" #set :app_path, "app" set :repository, "/var/www/goom/.git" set :scm, :git set :deploy_via, :copy # Or: `accurev`, `bzr`, `cvs`, `darcs`, `subversion`, `mercurial`, `perforce`, $ set :model_manager, "doctrine" # Or: `propel` role :web, domain # Your HTTP server, Apache/etc role :app, domain # This may be the same as your$ role :db, domain, :primary => true # This is where Rails migratio$ ```
