I just installed a rails app - RadiantCMS at a shared host and  
realized that the rails app assumes that it operates of out the base  
URL, [www.domain.com](http://www.domain.com), rather than the symlinked path,  
[www.domain.com/symlink](http://www.domain.com/symlink).

Is there some setting to pass for the application to know to add  
symlink to the relative URLs.

Its my first trial at a shared host and I am completely caught out?
