setfacl: Option -m: Invalid argument near character 3 on Ubuntu 14.04

[Nico-h]

Hi,
I'm unfortunately facing this error with Ubuntu 14.04 but it works fine with Debian 8

Deploy.rb file:

set :file_permissions_paths, ["web", "web/logs", "resources/cache"]
set :file_permissions_chmod_mode, "0777"
set :file_permissions_users, ["www-data"]
before "deploy:updated", "deploy:set_permissions:acl"

Last stack:

Cap deploy failes. Update list and upgrade packages done.

Any idea please ?

Thanks very much

The error occurs when I have a multiple server deploy with different users. Otherwise it works separately.

[zorbash]

Can you please make sure that the user www-data exists?

I noticed that running /usr/bin/env setfacl -dRn -m u:<userX>:rwX
when userX does not exist emits this kind of error.

According to the last documentation,
they removed the -n parameter
http://symfony.com/doc/current/setup/file_permissions.html#using-acl-on-a-system-that-supports-setfacl-linux-bsd

[kevin-lot]

In fact, on master the -n parameter is missing like the official documentation.
Can you tag your code version plz ?

Had this issue on CentOS. Here the user "www-data" is not present but rather "nginx", "apache", or "httpd". Switching the user to one that was present, worked for me for a multiple server deployment!

This still occurs and it's a very bad way to say "user not found".
Edit: This isn't even the right project. I'll look somewhere else
