I had some small problems with Media Temple, and I thought the Slicehost pricing/limitation were much more reasonable. At the time I moved, Media Temple would only let me run 1 mongrel, whereas I could run at least 3 with Slicehost for the same cost. I've been really happy with Slicehost, and I wholeheartedly reccomend using them if you're comfortable with server administration (which not everyone is).

Why did you move to Slicehost? I'm currently on (mt), and am also thinking to move to Slicehost. Just wondering how your experience has been.

Thanks for the advice. I'm not sure, but the recent OS X update (10.5.3) seems to have broken Capistrano with MediaTemple - I fixed this by uninstalling, then re-installing, the capistrano gem. More details: http://www.sevenoakjournal.co.uk/2008/06/02/os-x-... Cheers

I believe there's some documentation in the MT knowledge base, but maybe not. I moved over to Slicehost a few months ago, so I can't say for sure.

Brian, I actually moved over to Slicehost, so I haven't used Capistrano 2 on Media Temple at all. Sorry!

I found this to be very helpful, except that I have run into a problem. With Capistrano 2.0, it appears that the "%" sign in the username is causing problems. I can connect to the server and run all the Media Temple (cap mt_add) commands, but when I try to deploy I get an error that says that SSH cannot connect to the repository.

It looks as though the % sign in the username variable of the deployment recipe is causing problems. Instead, it looks for:

serveradmin/272lkjdslfaj.com

where the '/272' appears to be some kind of goof caused by the percent sign. Has anyone had any luck with Media Temple and Capistrano 2.0?
