Thans for the reply @swalkinshaw.
I have accessed the console and the reload has worked with no errors, nor did it ask for a password.
I also checked if the web-services file exists and it does. here are the contents:
web ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/service hhvm *
web ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/service php5-fpm *
I’m going to try running server.yml again and then deploy should all go ok.
