Nothing happens when doing "mina setup"

Question

I'm trying to set up Mina for deploying my Rails app. Unfortunately, when running `mina setup` or `mina deploy`, I get to the password prompt, and then nothing happens anymore. I can manually ssh with the given user and password, so this shouldn't be a problem. But I have no idea, where mina's stuck: ``` josh@macbuech:~/Documents/Work/MuheimWebdesign/base (features/deployment *)$ mina deploy --verbose base@josh.ch's password: -----> Mina: SIGINT received. Elapsed time: 61.00 seconds ``` Interestingly, yesterday it was suddenly able to connect (one of a dozen retries worded, I guess): ``` josh@macbuech:~/Documents/Work/MuheimWebdesign/base (features/deployment *)$ mina deploy --verbose base@josh.ch's password: stdin: is not a tty jailshell: line 3: cd: /var/www/base.josh.ch: No such file or directory ! ERROR: not set up. The path '/var/www/base.josh.ch' is not accessible on the server. You may need to run 'mina setup' first. ! Command failed. Failed with status 15 ``` Then, I couldn't…

Accepted Answer

This is an old question but this is for any future Googlers that stumble across this. I had the issue described in the question, mina hanging after password entry. Looking around in the issues section of the mina git repo lead me to the fix, albeit a silly one.

In your deploy.rb file put this setting:

```
set :term_mode, nil
```
