Ruby on Rails

Rails will normally set up a directory structure with a public/ directory at the root. This is where the public config line needs to point.

For example, if you have set up a default WebFaction Rails install called myapp, you will probably use public = "/home/myuser/webapps/myapp/myapp/public".

If you use Capistrano, you need to add the current/ symlink to the path, e.g. public = "/home/myuser/webapps/myapp/current/public".
