What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Switch from passenger 3.0.11 to passenger 4.0.10
2. Have your /webapp/public directory a symlink to /var/www-data/webapp/current which itself is a symlink to /var/www-data/rails/applications/webapp/current/public where the latter is the path with ../config.ru (ie /var/www-data/rails/applications/webapp/current/config.ru exists)
3. Try to access application.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

In passenger 3 the application started, in 4, it doesn't

What version of Phusion Passenger are you using? Which version of Rails? On what operating system?

4.0.10, rails 1.9.3, Ubuntu 8.10 Please provide any additional information below.

It doesn't look like many people suffer from this problem, and it's solvable by the user, so closing this issue.
