 Hello,
 i noticed working on a wordpress website that if the website is in a
 directory (es. /var/www/releases/3/) and the web root is pointing through
 a symbolic link ( so. /var/www/current/ pointing to /var/www/releases/3/ )
 the function in the wordpress config is not retrieving the right
 directory:

 if ( !defined('ABSPATH') )
         define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/');

 I solved manually defining ABSPATH to the right directory, but i think it
 would be better to fix if maybe checking if the directory is a symlink.

 The problem is that from php5 __FILE__ is reporting the absolute path, so
 it may be better to use $_SERVER['PWD'] to retrieve the path:
 <?php echo $_SERVER['PWD'] ."\n"; ?>
 would be
 /var/www/current

 Thanks,
 Emanuele.
