'rocketeer deploy --on' fails on one connection, but works on another

[adc-diegocam]

When running rocketeer deploy --on="staging", my code deploys correctly with no issues,

but when I deploy to production doing rocketeer deploy --on="production" I see a bunch of errors.

Why does this happen? Does Rocketeer expect my different servers to be on a certain versions when it comes to OS/PHP/SSH..?

What do these errors mean exactly?

I have tried setting the username/password on config.php, and I also tried doing it via SSH key, but both fail. (even though I can SSH into the servers normally)

Also, whenever I set the username/password, it doesn't seem to recognize what I type in config.php and asks again when running the command.

These are the errors:

Not sure why, but there seems to be an easy fix until things get updated properly,

After some research on this error

PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function utf8_decode() in...

we found this post: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35701730/utf8-endecode-removed-from-php7

I ran sudo apt-get install php-xml and problem solved.

@Anahkiasen Its disappointing that you havent followed up on this. You have a good product but with your lack of attention its only a matter of time for it get bumped.
