capistrano asking for password for deploy (Net::SSH::AuthenticationFailed)

Question

I am logged into the remote server, made some changes to a file,
did a git commit and push which worked fine.
Now i want to deploy and it is asking for a password when i put the one I used to logged into the remote server it rolls back...

Password: 
*** [deploy:update_code] rolling back  
* executing "rm -rf /sites/eq-versions/20130725203900; true"
servers: ["eq-production"]
** [deploy:update_code] exception while rolling back: Capistrano::ConnectionError, connection failed for: eq-production (Net::SSH::AuthenticationFailed: deploy)
connection failed for: eq-production (Net::SSH::AuthenticationFailed: deploy)

what is wrong?

Here is the CAPFILE.

Try adding default_run_options[:pty] = true and removing the ssh_options line. — CDub

Try logging in using cap shell and running whoami - is it the user you expect? — CDub

the user is what i expected but the problem is the production server (eq-production), i don't know what password to put in... tried mine, root deploy . does the username has to be same on the remote and local machine? — mamesaye

It shouldn't. What's in the ~/.ssh directory? Are there any authorized keys? — CDub

can you confirm that you can ssh into the box using the user without a password? example ssh [email protected]. Once that works your cap deploy should work.

i can ssh into the remote server (staging) and call the deploy script which restart the production server.(note: I don't have a profile on the production server but i have one on the staging server)

Joe Over a year ago

so can you from where ever you are trying to run cap deploy run ssh [email protected] and connect without typing a password?

mamesaye Over a year ago

no, i cannot ssh into the production server i don't have a profile.

Joe Over a year ago

then you will need to great a profile on that server if you want to deploy to it.
