I am trying to have a wiki on the same domain as my rails
application.  I use capistrano to deploy the rails app, and I figured
that the best way to go about this would be to have a symlink from the
public_html directory to the wiki directory.  However, every time I
redeploy the rails application, the symlink is overwritten, and the
tasks I write within deploy.rb to create this symlink do not seem to
work.  Any assistance would be much appreciated.
