So far your system looks very promising. I would like to Create a package similar to Octopus.Tentacle.1.4.0.1589.nupkg.
Where I have a directory containing an executable and associated files and then a directory that contains a payload.
So I would have
Deployment.exe
Deployment.exe.config
manifest.exe
Deploy.ps1
Payload
Deploy.ps1 calls Deployment.exe which uses the Payload directory to install a program on the system.
I have the entire directory laid out after our TeamCity build runs. How do I create a package out of this structure.
Thanks Richard
Hi Richard,
If you already have the directory structure, and just need to package it up, you only need to add a NuSpec file and then call nuget.exe pack. Since you are using TeamCity, you can use the TeamCity inbuilt “NuGet Pack” runner to do this for you.

Paul,
I am making a lot of progress using octopus however I found something
strange.
I have a powershell script that calls a program to set up my web site.
After I run my script I see the following message
site named ‘ProviderPortal’ has had its path updated to:
‘C:\Octopus\Applications\Integration
ProviderPortal\ProviderPortal\3.11.17.32382\ProviderPortal\wwwroot’
2013-03-14 01:30:37 DEBUG Looking for PowerShell scripts named
PostDeploy.ps1
2013-03-14 01:30:37 DEBUG No scripts with a .ps1 extension were found.
This total blows away what I have done in my program.
Why is this and how can I stop it

Hi Richard,
This is our automatic IIS configuration feature.
You can disable it by setting a special variable named "OctopusNotAWebSite"
with the value “true” in your project. This will prevent Octopus from
trying to configure IIS for you.

You are a God Sir,
You meant add this as a project variable right.
Another question is how do you delete a release or rebase it with new
variables and steps.
Also there seems to be a small bug in the teamcity plugin for deploy to
servers text says you can leave it blank to skip however it’s a required
field.
Thanks again

Hi Richard,
Yes, add it as a project variable. You have two options:
- If you are using the 1.4 version of Octopus, go to the release page,
expand the variables section, and click “update”
- Otherwise, edit the release to change the version number (e.g.,
1.0.0-failed), then create a new release.
Thanks, I’ll work out that TeamCity bug.
