Re: base url includes SCRIPT_NAME, which contains too much stuff

I've now hardcoded my baseurl:

$ grep base_url /srv/http/dieterblog/config.py
base_url = "http://localhost"

However this does not solve the problem.
Like before, I tried disabling all plugins (and restarting lighty), to
no avail. My entire blog source code can be found at
