I have installed Lime Survey inside a directory named 'survey' on my domain. Therefore, admin panel can either be accessed via subdomain.domain/index.php/admin or https://domain/survey/index.php/admin. In my survey, I have used a few images. Surprisingly, if I use the second URL generated image URLs are correct: https://domain/survey/upload/surveys//images/. However, if I use the former admin URL, generated image URLs are IN-correct: subdomain.domain/survey/ upload/surveys/<id>/images/<image>.

Is there any workaround to fix the issue?

Limesurvey usually creates the URL based from where you log into the admin interface. Usually that works pretty good, but depending on your hosting environment, it might not.

Previously you could adapt the base url via the config file. I don't know if this is still possible with LS 2.5.

Ohhh, of course the second domain can't work. You included the /survey/ part. But usually the subdomain is directed to this folder already, so if you take the /survey/ part out of the second example with the subdomain it should work.

Yes, subdomain is already mapped inside the 'survey' folder. But, the image URLs contain 'survey' as part of the path. How can I configure Lime Survey to strip it off? I think there should be some workaround, because the subdomain looks more professional to me.

So this second URL is generated by Limesurvey?

Then this is either a misconfiguration at the server / subdomain level, or a new bug in Limesurvey. What version of LS are you running?

Yes, the URL is generated by LS. I am uploading the images to be embedded inside the survey, These are the URLs of the uploaded images.

I am running LS Version 2.50+ Build 160523. I used Installatron on cPanel on a Godaddy hosting to install LS. Kindly let me know what more information you need.

Think set the hostInfo fix this issue.

But then you 'force" you admin to use subdomain.example.com url.

I didn't see how to fix this :
- Have different url with/without directory
- Have the picture with the good url , always.

Maybe adding www.w3.org/TR/html-markup/base.html system to whole system. But
- It's a major fix
- It's a minor issue (user go to a single url, and you can use abolute url too for you picture)

In the root htaccess file of your domain, adapt & try:
