[TYPO3-core] RFC #11289: Bug: t3lib_cache_backend_FileBackend doesn't work properly with TYPO3 running in a subdirectory to the document root

[Niels Pardon]

Hi Olly!

Yes, I encountered this on Windows. I don't think it is related to #10689.

t3lib_cache_backend_FileBackend->setCacheDirectory() uses
t3lib_div::getIndpEnv('TYPO3_DOCUMENT_ROOT') which returns the document
root and not the site path.

I have the following scenario: TYPO3 runs in C:\xampp\htdocs\seminars
where C:\xampp\htdocs is Apache's DocumentRoot.

In this case t3lib_div::getIndpEnv('TYPO3_DOCUMENT_ROOT') will return
"C:\xampp\htdocs" and will use this as the base for the cache directory.
(resulting in C:\xampp\htdocs\typo3temp\cache\)

But what I expect is that it uses C:\xampp\htdocs\seminars as base for
the cache directory. (resultung in
C:\xampp\htdocs\seminars\typo3temp\cache\)

I guess that this behavior is the same on LINUX/UNIX/Mac as soon as you
run your TYPO3 installation in a subdirectory of Apache's DocumentRoot
but I didn't test it.

Does this make sense to you?

Greets,

Niels
