permission denied on Gemfile.lock

Question

I have got a problem deploying my app on Passenger through Capistrano.

I can't seem to shake off a Permission denied - /path/to/app/Gemfile.lock from bundler/definition.rb. Has anyone had this before?

I have tried chmoding and chowning the file but that hasn't helped.

Has anybody else had the problem?

Back trace is

/usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-head/gems/bundler-1.0.0/lib/bundler/definition.rb 184 in `initialize'
/usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-head/gems/bundler-1.0.0/lib/bundler/definition.rb 184 in `open'

UPDATE: After viewing the following link - here, I managed to fix the issue by bundling on dev and then recommiting the Gemfile.lock.

Solution 1

Try deleting the Gemfile.lock and running bundle install on your server.

Solution 2

It's worth checking the owner of the lock file. Ran into this when I'd been running 'sudo bundle install' because I'd been installing the gemfiles for all users on the box. A quick 'chown' later, and everything was sorted.
