Error when deploying database.yml with capistrano

I have added config/database.yml to my .gitignore file. And have added this to the deploy.rb file

namespace(:customs) do
   task :symlink_db, :roles => :app do
    run "cp #{shared_path}/config/database.yml #{release_path}/config/database.yml"
  end
end
after "deploy:update_code", "customs:symlink_db"

But now that i run cap deploy. I get the error

No such file or directory - /var/www/XXXX/releases/20130313100825/config/database.yml

How do i fix it ?

Note: there has already been a release before this. I made some changes to the app and deploying it again.

Thanks

You want to use a symlink, as it will not care if the source file is not there yet.

task :symlink_db_yml do
  run "ln -s #{shared_path}/config/database.yml #{release_path}/config/database.yml"
end

And you want to execute it before bundle:install, as the new application directory is not created at the deploy:update_code stage.

before 'bundle:install', 'customs:symlink_db_yml'
