So you've been through the first two parts of the series and if not, here's part 1 and here's part two. In this third part we'll go over backing up and restoring your WordPress database via Capistrano tasks and we'll finally see how to attach our backup task to the main deployment task for automatic backups during deploys.
Getting Started & Recap
In the second part we covered staging servers and tagging, today we'll leave off where we left — a
deploy.rb file along with two staging files which we called
production.rb and
playground.rb in a directory called
deploy right next to our main deployment script.
The two staging scripts don't differ much from each other, they simply define different variables that are used later by Capistrano. Since we'll be working with the database today I assume you use different credentials for different servers.
Let's go ahead and define them individually for
production.rb and
playground.rb as variables, somewhere at the top of your playground script:
# Database credentials for playground.rb set :db_database, "playground_database" set :db_username, "playground_username" set :db_password, "playground_password"
If you're using different hosts you can also define a
:db_host. Do the same for your production script with the MySQL credentials used on your production server, and as soon as that is done you're ready to go.
Backing Up MySQL with Capistrano
In the first two parts of this series we worked mostly with code snippets that are executed by Capistrano's existing tasks by using hooks. Today we'll do something new — we'll create our own Capistrano tasks for backing up and restoring the MySQL database. We'll call them
mysqlbackup and
mysqlrestore and put them into the
deploy namespace, so they'll be invoked like this from the command line:
cap deploy:mysqlbackup cap deploy:mysqlrestore cap production deploy:mysqlbackup cap production deploy:mysqlrestore
You can change the naming afterwards if you would like to. Before we start scripting, let's think of what we want to achieve with our backup task: run a
mysqldump command and store the output in the
backups folder in our Capistrano
shared path.
Don't confuse "shared" with "publicly visible", shared in Capistrano terms means data which is shared across all releases, not visible to the website visitor. So yeah, log on to your playground and production servers and create that
backups folder inside the shared path. That's where we'll stick all our database dumps, and as soon as you're done edit your
deploy.rb script and somewhere after all the variables have been defined (or at the end of the script) type this:
namespace(:deploy) do desc "Backup MySQL Database" task :mysqlbackup, :roles => :app do run "mysqldump -u#{db_username} -p#{db_password} #{db_database} > #{shared_path}/backups/#{release_name}.sql" end end
As you can see we created a new task called
mysqlbackup inside the
deploy namespace. We also gave it a description with
desc which then shows up when you ask Capistrano for available tasks with
cap -T. The run command is quite simple where you can see the usage of the database credentials variables that we defined in
production.rb and
playground.rb. If you're new to
mysqldump here's some help. The
release_name variable will contain a timestamp which is used as the filename of the database dump.
So yeah, nothing fancy, go ahead and save your script, then ask Capistrano to execute it on your playground server, like this:
cap deploy:mysqlbackup
You can see from Capistrano's output log or log on to your server to find your new database dump file there in the
backups directory. That's about it! The second piece of the puzzle is restoring your database and it's a little more complicated than this ;)
Restoring MySQL with Capistrano
The scenario for a database restore is a little bit more complicated than backing up. Ultimately we'd like to give a list of available backups stored on the server and have the user select which one they'd like to restore.
Capistrano ships with a
capture function which lets us execute things on server (a file listing in our case) and capture the output back to our script. Then with a few string manipulations we can tell Capistrano to output some stuff to the console. Here's the full restore task which you can put underneath the backup one.
namespace(:deploy) do desc "Restore MySQL Database" task :mysqlrestore, :roles => :app do backups = capture("ls -1 #{shared_path}/backups/").split("\n") default_backup = backups.last puts "Available backups: " puts backups backup = Capistrano::CLI.ui.ask "Which backup would you like to restore? [#{default_backup}] " backup_file = default_backup if backup.empty? run "mysql -u#{db_username} -p#{db_password} #{db_database} < #{shared_path}/backups/#{backup_file}" end end
So first we execute a
ls -1 command in the backups directory on the server, that will give us a list of available files (and folders) in that path. We set the
default_backup to the last backup filename from that list (since it's the newest one) and then print the available backups with
We then use Capistrano's
CLI.ui.ask method to question the user on which backup they'd like to restore giving a default option. Similar with the tag selection covered in the previous part of this tutorial series.
Finally we execute a
mysql command on server, providing it with the MySQL credentials and feeding it our chosen backup file from the
backups directory in our shared path. Quite easy, eh? Here's how you call the MySQL restore task from the command line:
cap deploy:mysqlrestore
If you changed your mind after launching the restore task you can always press Ctrl+C to stop the Capistrano script.
Backing Up Automatically During Deploy
This is quite a good technique indeed. You can now attach your MySQL backup task to the deploy task so that it's carried out automatically after a deployment has been done. And all that with one single line at the end of your deploy script:
before "deploy:symlink", "deploy:mysqlbackup"
deploy:symlink task is the one that points the
current directory to latest release after a successful deploy. So right before switching our web server to the new application we're performing a quick MySQL backup. That's it. Every time you'll deploy, Capistrano will now automatically backup your database for you.
I wouldn't recommend automatically restoring a database during
deploy:rollback though ;)
This brings us to the end of the third part in the series. Today we've covered tasks basics in Capistrano. We have created two tasks to backup and restore your MySQL database (using variables from your multistage files) and we have also looked at how we can use Capistrano's
capture function to grab data from your servers and use it in your deployment scripts.
Hope you enjoyed it and learned something new. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to use our comment form below. Thanks for stopping by and stay tuned for more!

Repair bill for Wauwatosa sewer system could be $84 million
Alternatives come with broad range of prices
Fixing sewer problems in East Tosa could cost as much as $84 million, consultants told the city's Budget and Finance Committee last week.
The area, which encompasses 5,000 households and 14,000 feet of sewer pipes, has experienced repeated basement backups during rainstorms and fails to meet standards set by Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District.
Ideally only wastewater should enter the city's sanitary sewer system, but for myriad reasons - from leaky laterals and foundation drain connections on private property to leaky manholes or pipes on the public side - a lot of rainwater seeps in.
"This is pretty widespread in this basin," said David Perry, consultant with Brown & Caldwell, the firm hired by Wauwatosa to study basement flooding problems and develop strategies for mitigating the problems.
Decisions to be made
The approach taken to solve sewer issues will depend largely on whether the Common Council decides to tackle problems occurring on private property, City Engineer Bill Wehrley said. The possibility has been mentioned for months, but no policy decision has been made.
"It's the private side that's the sleeping giant that we can't ignore," Perry added.
Up to 75 percent of the problems come from private properties, so even perfectly operating public infrastructure won't be enough to stop backups.
The objective of sewer improvements is threefold: comply with the MMSD standard for a five-year recurrence event, protect basements from sewer backups in extreme weather and rehab existing structural system defects.
Consultants came up with a range of alternatives for meeting the objectives. All would accomplish the job, but each has a different price tag attached.
For $34 million to $39 million, the city could install bigger pipes and a storage tank. If the system fills, it would send the maximum amount of water allowed through to MMSD, store as much excess as possible to drain after the storm ends and bypass the overflow into local waterways. This only takes into account public infrastructure.
For $39 million to $40 million, the city could install bigger pipes and a storage tank and fix leaks in some private laterals.
For $62 million to $77 million, the city could install bigger pipes and fix a larger number of laterals and most foundation drains on private properties.
For $81 million to $84 million, the city could fix all laterals and foundation drains and install slightly bigger pipes.
More discussion to come
The cost outlines only call for Tosa dollars, but to make the changes work, Milwaukee would need to cooperate - about 21 percent of the area falls in the neighboring city.
Tests that sent dyed-water into the storm sewer to detect leaks into the separate sanitary sewer have provided a wealth of information about problem sources. But it's not enough data to make final decisions on how to address East Tosa flooding problems, Perry said.
Half the streets in the area don't have storm sewer pipes, so the next phase is soaker hose testing that will saturate private yards between houses and the sidewalk. Letters should go out shortly so the testing can take place this fall, Public Works Director Bill Porter said.
In the meantime, a discussion about fixing the city's sewers, of which the East Tosa portion is just a part, will continue at future committee meetings.

Men's Swim Team Captures Conference Crown
Feb. 21, 2004
Buffalo, N.Y. - The University of Massachusetts men's swimming and diving team has captured its fourth straight Atlantic 10 Conference championship, becoming only the second team in conference history to do so. The Minutemen took the lead on the first day of competition and never looked back, as they won the meet with a convincing 840 points, topping the second-place Bonnies' 586.5 points. The women's team finished the competition in fifth place with 378.5 points.
Once again it was junior Justin Zeimetz (Rochester, N.H.) leading the way for the Minutemen, as he won the 100-yard free with a time of 45.31 and anchored the winning 400-yard free relay team which posted a mark of 3:03.27. Also taking Minuteman victories were senior Conner Townsend (Memphis, Tenn.) with a winning time of 1:51.10 in the 200-yard fly, and freshman Evan Swisher (N. Bennington, Vt.) with a time of 1:51.68 in the 200-yard back. Joining Zeimetz on the 400-yard free relay was freshman Gordon Leonard (Cinnaminson, N.J.), junior Ryan Matthews (Rumson, N.J.) and junior Owen Scollan (Lowell, Mass.).
Yesterday, in day two of the competition, Zeimetz recorded a victory in the 100-yard back with a time of 51.99. Local standout freshman Greg Chartier (Amherst, Mass.) finished first in the 400-yard individual medley with a mark of 3:59.77 and junior Dylan Smith (Timonium, Md.) took first in the 100-yard fly with a time of 49.69.
The Minutewomen went into the final day of competition in third place behind St. Bonaventure, but fell to fifth by the end of the meet. The top finisher on the final day was senior captain Diana Alberti (Wantagh, N.Y.), who took second with a time of 2:06.79. Yesterday, on day two of the competition, freshman Mary Jenkins (Acton, Mass.) won the one-meter dive with a score of 232.10. Also highlighting day two was the 200-yard medley relay team of senior Lauren Rowell (Hamburg, N.Y.), senior Christen Dexter (Centerville, Mass.), Alberti, and freshman Nicole LeBarge (Lee, N.H.), which finished second with a mark of 1:47.63.

Golden Boy promises 'new direction' for boxing
Stacked undercard for Marquez-Diaz July 31
Story & photo by Chris Cozzone
You'd think that boxing promoters would've caught on years ago, in making an entire fight card competitive and a pay-per-view telecast actually worth its price tag.
Only after years of losing a chunk of its 18-to-30-somethings to UFC's top-to-bottom competitive lineups, are promoters beginning to see the bigger picture.
Better late than never, I suppose.
On July 31, from the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, Golden Boy Promotions, one of boxing's two mega promoters, hopes to buck the trend of lame-to-lackluster co-features by stacking its four-fight PPV telecast with solid match-ups.
Supporting an already potentially explosive main event, the rematch from 2009's Fight of the Year, between Juan Manuel Marquez (50-5-1, 37 KOs) and Juan Diaz (35-3, 17 KOs), are three solid matchups. In the opening HBO-PPV bout, Jorge Linares (28-1, 18 KOs) takes on Rocky Juarez (28-6-1, 20 KOs) in a crossroads lightweight bout; followed by a ten-rounder between former champs Robert "The Ghost" Guerrero (26-1-1, 18 KOs) and Joel Casamayor (37-4-1, 22 KOs); and a 12-round WBO middleweight title fight between undefeateds Daniel Jacobs (20-0, 17 KOs) and Dmitry Pirog (16-0, 13 KOs).
"This is going to be the first of many steps in the right direction," Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer proclaimed on Wednesday. "We don't want this to be a standalone, but to start a trend."
"This is about getting the most bang for your buck," agrees promoter Oscar De La Hoya. "We wanted to spend the money to give fight fans a treat.
"We're not fooling anyone here – all of these fights can go either way. There are no mismatches and all of these fights are exciting. We didn't care about how much money we made for this one."
De La Hoya and Schaefer claim the $4 million collective purse for the July 31 card will make it impossible to net a profit, but that they are looking at the bigger picture.
"We didn't care about budgets for this one," says Schaefer. "We cared about how much bang you are going to get for your buck.
"We do hope, however, that we are going to be proven right. We encourage fans to support this show. I give you my word that this is going to be the norm, not the exception. But if the fans aren't going to support it, it becomes a huge loss for us – we are trying to sell an event, top to bottom."
Because Golden Boy is the sole promoter, it's easier to arrange a competitive lineup, say Schaefer and De La Hoya.
"When you have two promoters on a card, splitting the spots and matching fighters from respective stables, it's hard to do a card like this," explains Schaefer. "When you do a card that is all Golden Boy, you don't have to get approval from other promoters."
While that may be true – one needs only to look at UFC for proof – co-promotions, on the other hand, ensure several must-see matches demanded by fight fans, Mayweather vs. Pacquiao being the most obvious example.
"With other promoters involved, it makes it difficult to make the right fights," says De La Hoya.
Whether sole promotions or co-promotions are the way to go, is open to debate; that all four matches are competitive, however, is less disputable.
Linares, says De La Hoya, is up for a stiff test in Juarez, who "continually falls short."
"We don't know if he's gonna break through," De La Hoya says of Juarez's inability to fight the first half of a fight the same way he does the second half.
Linares, on the other hand, is compared by De La Hoya to Amir Khan, who came back from a knockout loss to become a world champion.
Guerrero vs. Casamayor "has fireworks written all over it," says De La Hoya. "It's evenly matched – Guerrero's youth and Casamayor's experience."
As for Jacobs and Pirog? The Golden Boy calls it a coin-toss, Jacob's power and speed against Pirog's aggression.
"These fights represent boxing the way it's supposed to be," says Schaefer. "This is what the fans deserve."

I live in the country and have a long driveway. I have a cheap driveway alert from Harbor Freight that occasionally sounds due to deer, etc.
It sounded a few minutes ago which is why I am still up. (Apparently a rabbit)
I always get up and verify the source to be sure there isn't a BG involved.
Here is how it went:
Grabbed Ruger 345 (so far so good!)
Could not find pants to put on - (eventually did)
Could not find shoes - when I did I didn't bother to tie the laces
Could not find weapons light to slide onto rail (next to gun but it was dark)
Grabbed other flashlight next to gun.
Verified no outside motion sensor lights were activated.
Could not open front door with one hand - need to fix that!
When I slipped out the front door, the motion sensor light came on lighting me up and blinding me!
When my driveway alert sounds (averages about once every 6 weeks) it makes for a nice drill since you can never be sure it IS a false alarm.
Some of these problems I still need to fix - like my front door and turning the outdoor motion sensor light OFF before I walk in front of it. My light should have been on the rail - not detached.
Do you guys have any tips such as how to "get dressed" quickly or any other suggestions that might help. My main problem seems to be a slow response time.

Nokia Bots – new add-ons for N97 and N97 mini
Owners of the Nokia N97 and Nokia N97 mini smartphones now have new add-ons for their devices.
Called Nokia Bots, the add-ons run on the homescreen, they were developed by the Nokia Beta Labs team and they should "improve the user experience with your daily routines."
For the moment, there are only four Nokia Bots: Alarm Bot (learns at what time the user usually wakes up and then suggests alarms and nightly profile changes), Profile Bot (automates profile changes during meetings), Shortcut Bot (providing quick access to the apps you frequently use) and Battery Bot (which monitors your battery status and "reminds you in advance to connect the charger").
If you think the add-ons could be of help, you can download them here (you need to register with your Nokia Account).
A video preview of Nokia Bots can be watched below:
Nokia didn't say when or if the Nokia Bots will be available for other devices except the N97 and N97 mini.

Flicker Alley has just released Georges Méliès: First Wizard of Cinema (1896-1913), a monumental five DVD box set that gathers 173 of the puckish master's 500-plus films, from his very first to his very last — dang near every one known to survive today. In all, more than 13 hours of beautiful pioneering cinema.
Needless to say, I consider this a must-have for all cinephiles, and especially for sci-fi and fantasy fans; every bit as important as the massive Edison box set released a couple years ago. I recommend ordering directly from Flicker Alley (scroll down for the commerce buttons) — shipping is included in the price, there's no sales tax, and the money will go directly to the folks responsible with no cut plucked by a middleman. (And anyway, Amazon isn't offering its customary discount.)
By the way: we at The Sprocket Society are presenting an upcoming screening of Melies' greatest epics with film prints accompanied by unconventional musical selections, and even the original live narration for one of the films. Georges Melies: Impossible Voyager shows on Thurs. May 15 at 8 PM at the Northwest Film Forum. (The screening is not affiliated with Flicker Alley, and the timing is purely coincidental, albeit fortuitous — I'd heard this set was in the works but had no idea when it would be released.)
Producing the set are Eric Lange of Lobster Films in France and David Shepard of Film Preservation Associates (FPA). You could not have asked for better stewards of such a project: FPA owns the old Blackhawk Films catalog, which released many Melies films to the pre-VHS home film market on Super 8 and 16mm. It's pretty much thanks to Blackhawk that you and I have been able to see any of this stuff for the last 30 or 40 years. And Lobster is justly lauded for their preservation work in general, and is more's to the point is responsible for the recovery in recent years not only of hitherto lost Melies films, but treasures such as elongated and long-lost hand-colored prints of well-known classics like A Trip to the Moon and Conquest of the Pole.
The collection was compiled from archives in eight countries (among them the Academy Archives, the British Film Institute, and various private collections) and includes many spectacular new restorations, some reportedly newly pieced together from fragmentary prints for this project. The set includes examples not only of Méliès' countless trick films and fantasy spectaculars, but also his actualities, recreations of historic events (foreshadowing future newsreels), and even some of his erotic films (or at least erotic for the time). Also included, since it's pretty much required of such a thing, is Georges Franju's loving 1953 tribute, Le Grand Méliès, starring André Méliès as his father. A booklet is also included, with writings by the great animator Norman McLaren and scholar John Frazer, author of the excellent (and best) Melies study, Artificially Arranged Scenes (1979) — which is sadly long out of print and, worse, rare as hen's teeth.
An especially wonderful aspect of this set is the fact that thirteen of the films are presented with English renditions of Melies' original narrations, which he usually performed personally. (This is particularly welcome for some films which otherwise make little or no sense, such as The Good Sheperdess And The Evil Princess from 1908.) These narrative texts have been the Grail for Melies fans and scholars — their inclusion here is a major contribution to cinema history in itself.
Here in Seattle, Scarecrow Video already has a copy for rent (though you'll have to wait until I return it in a few days). Today, I'm a kid in a candy store and my dream has come true. "Thanks, Santa!! Now about that lottery thing I keep mentioning…"

The First Resource for Jails
Baxter County, AR -- A Baxter County Detention Center inmate tried to asphyxiate himself Wednesday afternoon, according to Sheriff John Montgomery. The inmate was taken by ambulance to Baxter Regional Medical Center.
The inmate reportedly ripped up a blanket, tied it together and attempted to asphyxiate himself, said Montgomery,who declined to name the inmate.
Two investigators, one with a camera, could be seen entering the jail shortly after the incident was reported. Personnel from the Mountain Home Fire Department assisted an ambulance crew from BRMC at the scene.
When the ambulance left the jail, the crew did not immediately turn on the vehicle's lights and sirens, usual indications of a patient on board with a serious medical issue.
The incident still is under investigation, according to Montgomery.

Secrets of Success
The Tabata
Monday, September 24, 2012
Today I did the Tabata Inferno, alone. I hate doing this one alone, I like having someone to share the misery with. I hate the first circuit! Its a hard way to start a tough workout, at least for me. I got through it, though I did struggle through the first circuit. After that I got into it and found myself doing 7-8 pushups today, an improvement but I still have a long way to go. I have found that having some high energy music in the background really helps me. The workouts seem to go faster when the music is on. I am going to do a 10 minute ABS workout during MNF tonight. Just a mixture of the tough S90 ABS moves as well as a couple of ABS moves done in Callanetics. I decided to train my ABS on cardio days and rest days.
In other news...went to my first horse races yesterday, the closing day of the season at Emerald Downs. It was fun. We bet $5 bets on 5 races and won one race; it was very exciting!
I met a gentleman who had a daughter who is a jockey and was racing in most of the races. I learned a bit about horse racing from him and found him to be charming. We ate some garlic fries that tasted okay but I was sick last night and again this morning. Once a year I try eating deep fried food and once again learn why I don't eat that garbage! We did a lot of walking though; we parked about 1.5 miles from the entrance and turned the walk into a workout and then we walked a lot inside and took the stairs up to the upper floors several times, finding it much easier to take care of racing business as well as personal business (restrooms) and being in a much smaller crowd. The higher you go, we found, the less people. That was another part of the fun, just people watching! Some were really intensely into the betting, some were into the food and beer, some were into the horses and some didn't seem to into it at all. There were people celebrating, cursing, crying (tears of sorrow and joy) and much jumping up and down and screaming! Ice cream cones were floating about everywhere and I wanted one very badly but restrained. Had I seen them first I would have had a small one instead of garlic fries and would have been much happier all around. All in all it was a fun day at the races. We left after the 5th race to beat the crowd and took the walk at a brisk pace the 1.5 miles back to the car, again making it a workout.
Have a great week and don't give up on your goals, whatever they are!!!
Day 18 down, 78 to go!

You are a workout demon! I miss cardio:( Can't believe I just said THAT! LOL
Never been to a horse race. I would be afraid one of the horses would get hurt. I don't really remember my Grandpa, but I hear he was a crazy better on the horses. Now, as for the garlic fries, YUM! I know they are greasy but would love some now. Ahhhh, guess carrots and broccoli will have to do:)
Glad you had a great day!

Sounds like fun! We went to horse races one time years ago with a bunch of friends. The "gals" decided to pool our $$ and place a bet on a horse we picked. Geez louise, this horse was so slow we thought they might have to put him down right there on the track!! LOL

La Grenouille's Charles Masson Lands New Gig at Baccarat Hotel
The new restaurant will have 85 seats, "similar to La Grenouille."

Ofsted Inspection 2008
Strode College in Street is celebrating the publication of its Ofsted inspection report. Due to its successful track record the College received a short inspection involving two inspectors over two days in October.
The College was assessed as good for the effectiveness of provision, achievement and standards, quality of provision and leadership and management. The College's capacity to improve was judged outstanding. Due to the nature of the inspection no grades were awarded for the curriculum areas.
Kate Lovell, Chair of Governors said
"The inspection results confirm the reputation of Strode as a high performing College which places the needs and interests of our students at the heart of all we do. Inspectors found that the range of programmes and activities offered to the students is outstanding as is the breadth and quality of the enrichment activities available to students. We are also delighted that the inspectors assessed pastoral care as very good and that students benefit from a safe and caring ethos with a strong emphasis on inclusivity".
Ian Bennett OBE, Principal said
"We are extremely proud to be recognised as a college where students are challenged to excel in their studies whilst receiving effective guidance and pastoral care. In addition to the main grades inspectors assessed a very wide range of activities and all were found to be good or better. Everyone at the college, staff and governors, is working hard to provide the very best experience for all our students. I should like to take this opportunity to thank them for their commitment and dedication".
The Ofsted report highlights many key strengths:
- High success rates on most courses
- The proportion of students achieving high grades on advanced level courses
- Effective focus on improving teaching and learning
- Good progress in broadening the range of opportunities offered by the College
- Outstanding opportunities for, and participation in, enrichment activities
- Successful promotion of an ethos of inclusivity and respect for all
- Good leadership, governance and management
- Outstanding capacity to improve
- Highly effective staff development
- Successful strategy to improve accommodation and resources
And five areas for improvement
- The slow progress in further improving long course success rates for students aged 16-18
- The slight decline in the proportion of students who successfully complete AS level courses
- Arrangements for identifying, and raising the proportion of, outstanding lessons
- The use of appropriate national averages to make judgements about the quality of A-level provision
- The rigour of procedures for deciding and moderating graded judgements about the quality of the college's provision.

A judge has ruled that the state of Texas can seize the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints compound founded by polygamist leader Warren Jeffs. It is the same location where Warren Jeffs committed vile sexual crimes against underage victims.
Warren Jeffs was convicted of sexual assault of two young girls, ages 12 and 14. Jeffs claims that they are his "spiritual brides." Jeffs also fathered a child with a 15 year-old girl according to DNA evidence presented at his trial.
Warren Jeffs is now serving a life sentence plus 20 years in a Texas prison for child sex assault.
Judge Barbara Walther entered a default judgment giving the state the legal ability to seize the ranch. Walther wrote, "Therefore, there being no remaining issues or parties in this case, the Court hereby renders Final Judgment of Forfeiture and the terms of the default judgment and judgment concerning ad valorem taxes are merged into this final judgment."
