Error symlink on production deploy

[Tamiyadd]

Hi,
i recently updated from 6.0.5 to 6.1.0 and i started to get the following error on production deploy. I know the new version changed the symlinking process. Can you help me to fix that error? do you need more info?

thanks

@Tamiyadd Please delete the deployment directory and try again.

I think there's some unexpected file already existing where we're creating the symlinks.

Hi @justin808
i'm using capistrano to deploy my application so every deploy a new release directory is created from scratch

[justin808]

@Tamiyadd Can you take a look at https://github.com/shakacode/react_on_rails/blob/master/lib/tasks/assets.rake

You can turn off the automatic usage of that file, per the instructions in the README.md, in regards to the precompilation during deployments.

We'll need your help to debug this.

Please see #538.

Hi @justin808 after some try i found that there was a problem in my server with symlinking files. Now everything is working well!

thanks for the support!
