The reason why you might get certificate errors in Ruby 2.0 when talking HTTPS is because there isn't a default certificate bundle that OpenSSL which was used when building Ruby 2.0 trusts.

Update: this problem is solved in edge versions of rbenv and RVM.

$ ruby -rnet/https -e "Net::HTTP.get URI('https://github.com')"
net/http.rb:917:in `connect': SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3
  read server certificate B: certificate verify failed (OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError)

You can work around the issue by installing a certificate bundle that you trust. I trust Mozilla and curl.

# If you're having cert issues on ruby 2.0.0-p0, the issue is most likely that ruby can't
# find the required intermediate certificates. If you built it via rbenv/ruby-build, then
# the certs are already on your system, just not where ruby expects them to be.
# When ruby-build installs openssl, it installs the CA certs here:
~/.rbenv/versions/2.0.0-p0/openssl/ssl/cacert.pem
# Ruby is expecting them here:
$(ruby -ropenssl -e 'puts OpenSSL::X509::DEFAULT_CERT_FILE')
# Which for me, is this path:
#!/bin/bash
APP_NAME="your-app-name-goes-here"
APP_PATH=/home/deploy/${APP_NAME}
# Production environment
export RAILS_ENV="production"
# This loads RVM into a shell session. Uncomment if you're using RVM system wide.
# [[ -s "/usr/local/lib/rvm" ]] && . "/usr/local/lib/rvm"

A Capistrano Rails Guide

by Jonathan Rochkind, http://bibwild.wordpress.com

why cap?

Capistrano automates pushing out a new version of your application to a deployment location.

I've been writing and deploying Rails apps for a while, but I avoided using Capistrano until recently. I've got a pretty simple one-host deployment, and even though everyone said Capistrano was great, every time I tried to get started I just got snowed under not being able to figure out exactly what I wanted to do, and figured I wasn't having that much trouble doing it "manually".
