No releases.last crashes first deploy

[skrat]

Hi all,

I'm running into problem where I am unable to do first time deploy.
Capistrano crashes with following trace (http://pastie.org/684879).
Looking at the source file, it's looking for last release, which
obviously isn't there.

I found some other posts on this, but none with working solution. This
guy (http://www.coding4life.com/web-application-frameworks/ruby-on-
rails/capistrano/deploying-to-staging-and-production-environments-via-
capistrano) seems to describe the same bug, but I have deploy_to
variable set correctly.

my machine is ubuntu 9.10 with ruby 1.8.7 and capistrano-2.5.9
server is debian lenny with REE 1.8.7

Seems like a common pitfall, nowhere described, any ideas on this
issue?

Skrat,

Did you run a "cap deploy:setup" -- and diving straight in with multistage without much experience is bold, can you share you're capfile & config/deploy.rb… I ask because this is a little unusual "executing `deploy:migrate'" right after the multistage call.

Hi, thanks for interest, the problem is now gone, but I'm not aware of
how that happened, anyway, more people seem to run into same issue but
nobody posted a fix.
