base_url function in Codeigniter isn't correct, contains FCPATH local root path

I have just uploaded my website to the webhost and I realised the base_url() contains the value of the constant FCPATH, that points to the local root path

So, instead of printing http://mywebsite.com/ It prints something like http://mywebsite.com/var/www/html/.../

This is a linux host and it is printing the disc path to the root folder.

It works. It is generating a valid URL to the files (http://mywebsite.com/var/www/html/.../js/my.js is routed to the correct file)

But I was using that public url for other purposes on my website. Do you know what is going on? is that a normal behavior? Is there any other function or constant that I can use or do I have to subtract FCPATH from base_url()

Use this in your config file:

$config['base_url'] = "http://". $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . preg_replace('@/+$@','', dirname($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']));
