Url Helper link generation prepends 'app' upon redirecting from document_root

[karmicdice]

DocumentRoot of the application is: /var/www/
Application is under /var/www/app

So I have placed the following in my .htaccess file which is under /var/www/ (outside app) ::

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule (.*) app/webroot/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

I am using UrlHelper for building URLs.

On every link it is appending /app/ for every route.

Example: /users/login when hovered on the link shows : /app/users/login

tried adding true to get full path URL - still prepends app.

If your app is under a subfolder of DocumentRoot ("app" in your case) then having the subfolder name in the url is expected based on default config. You can specify App.baseUrl config explicitly to '/'.
