Description

The name of the symlink produced by the deploy:symlink task of the common recipe is hard coded to current. In the environments where you cannot configure the web root name (shared hosting) it would be useful to be able to change that to a custom name (like public_html or www) via simple config option.

You could make a symlink to current or any other dir from your webroot on target server.

In my case root of repository is not a contents of public_html dir, so my first pre-deployment action is something like

ln -s /home/username/project/current/public /home/username/public_html
