How to deploy Git BitBucket Capistrano to root directory

Question

I have setup Bitbucket & Capistrano and are testing deploying to remote servers but I am unable to deploy to a root directory, I've looked around but can't seem to find a way to change it.

e.g. /var/www/html/web_app/

but i get this

e.g. /var/www/html/releases/20161028093829

Any ideas. Thanks in advance.

version "3.6.1"

deploy.rb

set :application, "hunter"
set :repo_url, "git@bitbucket.org:*****.git"
# Default value for keep_releases is 5
set :keep_releases, 2

CAPFILE

require "capistrano/setup"

require "capistrano/rsync"

require "capistrano/deploy"

require "capistrano/scm/git" install_plugin Capistrano::SCM::Git

Dir.glob("lib/capistrano/tasks/*.rake").each { |r| import r }

Rake::Task[:production].invoke

Can anyone help me with this?

thanks

Here is what you should do.. The parameter responsible for defining the directory to deploy to is :deploy_to. So, in order to your Capistrano to deploy to /var/www/html/web_app/ you need to configure it accordingly.

Below set :keep_releases, 2 set the :deploy_to param to /var/www/html/web_app/. Your deploy.rb file will look like this:

set :application, "hunter"
set :repo_url, "git@bitbucket.org:*****.git"
# Default value for keep_releases is 5
set :keep_releases, 2
set :deploy_to, "/var/www/html/web_app"
