This issue also affects deployment via Apache alias directives. I have several ZF1 applications working just fine deployed under http://domain.com/app-name/. Attempting to do the same with ZF2 fails to properly detect the baseUrl.

A deployment of the ZF2 Skeleton Application to http://localhost/zf2-skeleton/ fails with the following stack trace:

#0 /var/www/html/zf2-skeleton/library/Zend/Di/Di.php(130): Zend\Di\Di->newInstance('zf2-skeleton', Array)
#1 /var/www/html/zf2-skeleton/library/Zend/Mvc/Application.php(332): Zend\Di\Di->get('zf2-skeleton')
#2 [internal function]: Zend\Mvc\Application->dispatch(Object(Zend\Mvc\MvcEvent))
#3 /var/www/html/zf2-skeleton/library/Zend/EventManager/EventManager.php(441): call_user_func(Array, Object(Zend\Mvc\MvcEvent))
#4 /var/www/html/zf2-skeleton/library/Zend/EventManager/EventManager.php(202): Zend\EventManager\EventManager->triggerListeners('dispatch', Object(Zend\Mvc\MvcEvent), Object(Closure))
#5 /var/www/html/zf2-skeleton/library/Zend/Mvc/Application.php(251): Zend\EventManager\EventManager->trigger('dispatch', Object(Zend\Mvc\MvcEvent), Object(Closure))
#6 /var/www/html/zf2-skeleton/public/index.php(28): Zend\Mvc\Application->run()
#7 {main}

Converting the alias to a vhost and using http://zf2-skeleton.local/ works just fine.

The classname mentioned in the description should read Zend\Http\PhpEnvironment\Request. I experience the same problem, ie it is impossible to deploy the ZF2 application into any virtual server subdirectory (alias). It works only when deployed into a vhost root.

My environment: - Windows 7 - ZendServer CE 5.6.0 - PHP 5.3.9 - Apache/2.2.21 (Win32) mod_ssl/2.2.21 OpenSSL/0.9.8o - ZF2 v2.0.0beta3

Zend\Http\PhpEnvironment\Request::detectBaseUrl() debug: SCRIPT_FILENAME = 'C:/WebDev/PhpStorm/ZF2Tutorial/public/index.php' SCRIPT_NAME = '/zf2tut/index.php' PHP_SELF = '/zf2tut/index.php' ORIG_SCRIPT_NAME = null return value = '' (on line 329), should be '/zf2tut/'

A workaround is to set the base url in the index.php

$application->getRequest()->setBaseUrl($appConfig['baseUrl']);

or when using the ZendFrameworkSkeleton Application you can set base url when instantiating the view in the module...

public function initializeView($e) { $app = $e->getParam('application');

    $app->getRequest()->setBaseUrl($e->getParam('config')->baseUrl);
    $basePath     = $app->getRequest()->getBasePath();
    $locator      = $app->getLocator();
    $renderer     = $locator->get('Zend\View\Renderer\PhpRenderer');
    $renderer->plugin('basePath')->setBasePath($basePath);
}        

To circumvent this problem you can also use the DluBaseUrl: https://bitbucket.org/dlu/dlubaseurl (more info on it here: http://zfdaily.com/2012/04/…). It encapsulates the Bas K's workaround in a simple ZF2 module.

I created the following PR for fix this issue. Could you test the fix?
