mkdir -p Missing Operand when running rubber:config

Question

I am getting following error while running cap rubber:config. Hope someone can give me directions.

Here is the command I am running: bundle exec rubber "config" As you can see, it is complaining about missing operand for the 'mkdir -p' command at the end.

The source :rubygems is deprecated because HTTP requests are insecure.
Please change your source to 'https://rubygems.org' if possible, or 'http://rubygems.org' if not.

Answer 1

You probably need the nginx_log_dir setting added to your rubber-passenger_nginx.yml file like I did. Pop that file open and add it:

nginx_log_dir: /mnt/nginx/logs

I hope that helps you.
