Rails - Feb 2006 - Relative paths in Webrick vs. lighttpd

Hi, everyone.  I''ve got a development server running Webrick, and a 
production server running under lighttpd.  The following two lines of 
code work just fine in the development server, but bombs out on the 
production server with a "file not found" error:

    label_base_jpeg = "app/views/price_books/label.jpg"
    canvas = 
Magick::ImageList.new(label_base_jpeg)                             

My guess is that lighttpd sets the current working directory to 
something different from Webrick, leading to different interpretations 
of the relative path in the code.  Is this the case?  Should it be?

In any event, what path can/should I use to ensure compatibility across 
the different versions of my application?

Thanks,

Reuven

label_base_jpeg = "#{RAILS_ROOT}/app/views/price_books/label.jpg"
