Hello ! I’m trying to deploy a rails 5 app with ubuntu 16.04 etc… On cap production deploy I get the following error on deploy:migrate

INFO [deploy:migrate] Run rake db:migrate DEBUG [15816e11] Running if test ! -d /home/deploy/app/releases/20170313091718; then echo “Directory does not exist ‘/home/deploy/app/releases/20170313091718’” 1>&2; false; fi as deploy@138.68.83.124 DEBUG [15816e11] Command: if test ! -d /home/deploy/app/releases/20170313091718; then echo “Directory does not exist ‘/home/deploy/app/releases/20170313091718’” 1>&2; false; fi DEBUG [15816e11] Finished in 0.306 seconds with exit status 0 (successful).

You’ve configured Rails or the apps to connect to the database via 138.68.83.124, which is failing. So are you running PostgreSQL locally? If yes (running locally), then change the configuration host to 127.0.0.1 or a socket. If no (running externally), then there’s probably a firewall blocking on the database server.
