We discussed this on the list -- it's not a major problem, but this bug can serve as a reminder that we want to slowly transition over to absolute paths from the current relative ones. Things that need to be done (in order): 1) Edit wiki page to explain that people need to set up a vhost rather than putting the website into a directory 2) Turn on MultiViews -- non MultiViews URIs could be redirected to the MutiViews version (having multiple URIs for one resource is a bad idea) 3) Gradually edit the relative paths in the markup to become absolute 4) Remove the then-redundant $site_root stuff Again, this is not a top priority so it can be a gradual thing. It would be good if people start using absolutes by default from now on though; the two can co-exist.
Right, number 1 and number 2 are done. I realised the redirect thing was a bad idea because: a) It would be extra load of fd.o, which we can't justify for *EVERY PAGE* (as in, once it's converted, it wouldn't be such a bad idea) b) It messes things up. For instance, if you access /discussion.php as /discussion/, relative links because /discussion/whatever. So I'm going to have to embark on the fun activity of going through the entire site and using absolute paths with no file extensions. Oh well!

Yeah, this is irrelevant now...and is not really a bug.
