My web server absolutely dies when I keep "Options FollowSymLinks" in the root .htaccess.
But now I have all sorts of weird URLs in my webpages (I use $this->urlTo and Url::action for generating urls). When I generate a URL to a post I would expect: /2009/blogpost/, but Recess comes up with /users/1234/public/sites/web.serv.er/2009/blogpost/. Does removing Options FollowSymLinks and getting these strange URLs correlate?
Because the welcome screen, displayed when you install Recess for the first time, has also the same problem (check out the first Tools links on http://recess.blijweb.nl/).
