This is on 2.5.0.

The admin confirmation URL in the email has subfolder duplicated. like  
`https://www.example.com/subfolder/subfolder/u/confirm-admin/key`.

I’m looking at

> <https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/main/app/mailers/admin_confirmation_mailer.rb#L12>

it appears to call something called `confirm_admin_url`, but I can’t find where that’s defined.

I’m not sure where to look to see if it’s a bug or some configuration issue (but this is the only place this problem is showing up).

I believe @neil fixed this (back in 2017) via:

[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/bf00ab5d4a94e6bdfad363d18eb420100130178f](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/bf00ab5d4a94e6bdfad363d18eb420100130178f)

I was not able to repro this locally though on latest version.
