cakephp-instaweb seems not to be able to cope with symlinks pointing outside the root directory.

I have an application inside ~/workspace/myapp, while the cakephp root directory is placed inside ~/workspace/cakephp. If I symlink ~/workspace/myapp to ~/workspace/cakephp/app, I always get error 500 from the server.

However, if I copy ~/workspace/myapp to ~/workspace/cakephp/myapp and then symlink ~/workspace/cakephp/myapp to ~/workspace/cakephp/app, everything works as expected; this let me thing it is not a problem with symlinks in general. Have you got any ideas about that?

Matteo
