Cakephp App.base and $this->here

Question

There are similar questions here but they have not the answer to my problem.

My app folder is below dev/, so I put the line

Configure::write('App.base', '/');

in the bootstrap.php to get the links work without 'dev' in the url.

But in one form I refer to $this->here as the action and it has an extra slash at the begining like //admin/controller...

How can I avoid the extra slash?

Answer 1

Configure::write('App.base', '');

I actually stumbled upon your (old) question while trying to fix some $this->here issues on a shared host, and your question actually helped me solve my problem. So, thanks.

But in case you're still looking for an answer a year later, the above works.
