I configured my discourse forum to be in a subfolder(migrated from subdomain to subfolder which entailed moving from hosted by discourse to self hosted) by following the guidelines on doing that. Now everything works, except for the fact that if I login(regular login), it logs me in and redirects to the root directory instead of the subfolder.
E.G I login @ www.website.com/forum/login and it redirects to www.website.com instead of www.website.com/forum after login.
