Description

Description

I installed the latest app template in my ~/public_html/myproject directory. I put putenv('APP_ENV=dev'); in public/index.php (see issue #395). I request http://localhost/~xxxx/myproject/public from the browser and I get a 404 error.

Image

If I change my Apache configuration and set as the localhost document root folder to the one as stated above (~/public_html/myproject/public), the application renders the page without issues.

It seems that this has something to do with the way the url is resolved from the framework. It should support installations under a subdirectory and not only in the root.

Package version

Research direction

Start at public/index.php and reproduce the request under http://localhost/~xxxx/myproject/public with Apache, comparing it with the configuration that uses the project’s public directory as the document root. Trace how the application resolves its URL when served from a subfolder; done means the app renders correctly in both the document-root and subfolder setups.
