Well your response prompted me to check the nginx logs which confirm it was
going straight to /CMS, no redirect. I then switched to a minimal
layout.html file as that was the one component that was still not a default
file. This then registered a user okay. When I went through the original
head section to start adding stuff in I found this line:
<base href="{{='/%s/' % request.application if URL().startswith('/' +
request.application) else '/'}}"/>
Adding this to the minimal layout.html broke the user registration again,
presumably because the form was taking the new base of /CMS/ as its target
for POSTing data. I confirmed the base href was /CMS/ by inspecting the
head element. I can't figure out why this didn't cause a problem in my
original web2py 2.0.9 installation of this app though, the user register
page on there also has the base element with href set to /CMS/ on the user
registration page, yet user registration isn't broken there. I could
understand a different browser handling the interaction between BASE and
FORM elements differently, but I don't see why a different server would.
I found this article on stack overflow about
base:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1889076/is-it-recommended-to-use-the-base-html-tag
and decided I should avoid using the base anyway. I now just have to figure
out why I used it in the first place (find out what breaks when I take it
out) and find a better solution. I understand web2py much better now, so
I'm sure I'll find a better way.
Thanks for taking the time to look at my post, and confirming that the
browser should normally post to the original URL.
