SilverStripe 3.1 - Wrong $BaseDir after porting to XAMPP

Question

after porting my fully working SS3.1 Page from my Webserver http://mydomain.de to my locally installed XAMPP http://intranet/silverstripe I've got the problem that the Base Directory is now wrong in SS. It's the old one from the webserver / but it need to be /silverstripe

I already changed it in the .htaccess so that mod_rewrite works but $BaseDir returns / and if I try to use the SS Sitesearch than I get redirected to home/SearchForm?Search= instead of silverstripe/home/SearchForm?Search= after submitting the form.

Can someone please help me to fix this problem.

Thank you in advance

EDIT: I just call $SiteSearch in my Template. But the function is modified in my Page.php to search also through a dataobject.

public function results($data, $form){
    $results = $form->getResults();

    $query = htmlspecialchars($data['Search'], ENT_QUOTES,'UTF-8');
    $objects = ListingObject::get()->where("MATCH (Title, Link, Company, Category) AGAINST ('$query' IN BOOLEAN MODE)");      
    $results->merge($objects);

    $data['Results'] = $results;                  
    $data['Title'] = _t('SearchForm.SearchResults', 'Search Results'); 
    $data['Query'] = $query;

    return $this->customise($data)->renderWith(array('Page_results','Page')); 
}

without this code it also doesn't work

SOLUTION: I'm sry. I found the Problem. I didn't call $SiteSearch, because when I created the Page, I had to edit the form, so I hardcoded it... because of that, the submitted url is wrong now. I'm so sorry!

Answer 1

You might have to set an alternate base url in the SS config. Add this to your config.yml:

Director:
  alternate_base_url: '/silverstripe'

Answer 2

$BaseDir should be $BaseHref in your template.
