Rails - Jun 2006 - RewriteBase w/ Capistrano on a shared host

Hello,

I''m on a shared hosting, and tried this as a test:
[code]
svn co {repo} to /home/{user}/{appname}
ln -s {appname}/public/ public_html
chmod -R 755 trunk
[/code]

With the .htaccess file''s RewriteBase directive set to /
This setup works great, with no problems at all.

Here''s my issue, I''m attempting to use Capistrano, which is
setup by
default to  checkout my app into a releases/{datetime} folder, then it 
creates a symlink inside my rails app directory named
''current'' which
points to the this new releases/{datetime} dir, like so:

ln -nfs /home/{user}/{appname}/releases/20060609173235 
/home/{user}/{appname}/current

I then point public_html to {appname}/current/public/

I''m wondering if there''s a certain RewriteBase parameter, or
Alias, or
something to let Apache know how to properly follow the symlinks.

I know this is tricky to ask for support for, since each hosting 
environments is different. Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks!

I figured it out. Apparently, my shared host prefers relative symlinks 
to absolute.

Thanks anyhow!
