#258 URL error with user directories

[Anonymous]

I download the 0.70 files, extract them to my webserver. I go to www.myserver.com/~myuser/install00.php and it works okay, also the setup.php works fine after install06.php.
But at the end of the setup.php i press "submit". Then it takes me to the address: http://myserver.com/home/muyser/public_html/index.php which obviously is not working! Same problem is with all the links on index.php after setup is completed. It worked fine on the 2 years ago when it was last updated.....

I solved this by manually editing the file scripts/config.php.
I included this line: define('ROOT_DIR', 'd:\homepages\blog\\');
Works with windows, at least.
It's a simple workaround but I didn't know any php so it was quite complicated to solve this.

The ROOT_DIR definition didnt work for me on linux...
After some little investigations I think the logic to determine the BASE_URL in the file scripts.config.php doesnt work when using mod userdir in apache :

if ($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'] == realpath($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'])) {
define('BASEURL', preg_replace("/^" . str_replace("/", "\/", $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]) . "/", "", ROOT_DIR));
} else {
define('BASEURL', '/' . basename(dirname(dirname(__file__))) . '/');
}

With a userdir ( vhosts ? ), the DOCUMENT_ROOT can be completely different from the dirname of the __file__ (in ROOT_DIR). Therefore the substitution logic is flawed...

I fixed that by commenting the code pasted up there, and replacing it with:
define('BASEURL','');

This should really just be converted to a config value that is set via the install process based on SCRIPT_NAME.
