Your Ruby on Rails application will reference files in your 'shared' folder. The 'current' folder points to the directory which contains your applications files - not the shared folder.

If you keep assets, such as images, in your shared folder then you needed to copy that over as you did. Your current folder is probably easier to maintain through capistrano, which you should consider using to deploy your app.

The 'current' folder is just a link to the directory that your app was deployed to, which is within your 'releases' directory.

I'm presuming that you've misunderstood how the current folder works, simply change your deploy.rb configuration from within app/config in your rails source and this will fix the link for you.
