Hello Jan,

Where is this configuration option?  I've found that in order to manually
set the webroot, I've had to comment out the auto-detection section of
registry.php and set the variable value again manually:

/*
if (isset($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) {
    $webroot = strstr(dirname(__FILE__), '/' . array_shift(preg_split(';/;',
$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], 2, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY)));
    if ($webroot !== false) {
        $webroot = preg_replace(';/config$;', '', $webroot);
    } else {
        $webroot = '/horde';
    }
} else {
    $webroot = '/horde';
}
*/
$webroot = '/horde';

If I don't do the above, the PHP_SELF detection logic kicks in and
determines the wrong webroot.

Cheers,
Nick
