Running role for the first time generates an error.

Closed this issue 10 years ago · 9 comments

When running the following command:
ansible-playbook -l test -i inventory.ini -e "symfony2_project_release=1" deploy.yml -vvv

I get this error:
msg: refusing to convert between directory and link for /var/www/vhosts/exampl/releases/1/app/logs

I have confirmed that the folder exists in the repo and the only file in the folder is a ".gitkeep" file.

is logs a symlink? where is it linked to/from?

Answer 2 · 2014-10-10T13:20:10.000Z

No.It is not a symlink. I literally have a blank digital ocean droplet and I am just testing your tool. No other commands were run.

i think this is already a duplicated issue #5 or at least related

Answer 4 · 2014-10-10T13:24:11.000Z

I checked and it seems as if #5 the folder did not exist. In my case the folder does exist, however the symlink is not happening. Also, different error message. 😄

I can confirm this error, i am seeing msg: refusing to convert between directory and link for var/www/releases/1/app/logs I am unsure of a solution at the moment. Adding force=yes doesn't work either, thinking another action might be needed.

Hey guys, if you are interested I've posted a workaround which worked for me at #5

@trepafi Thanks for posting the workaround. I will look into taking this fact into consideration.

Duplicated. Original issue #5.

Answer 9 · 2014-10-28T04:54:50.000Z

Can confirm that removing the app/logs and app/cache folders from the repo works. This is however not ideal. Thanks for fix though @trepafi
