Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/prasathmani/tinyfilemanager/issues/907

Case 1:

$root_path = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/subfolder';
$root_url = '';

When using this: download works, but direct link doesn't work.

Case 2:

$root_path = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/subfolder';
$root_url = '/subfolder';

When using this: download works, and direct link works, but when you login with this config you will receive a page not found, because the path to the script becomes: http://url/subfolder/subfolder/index.php
So, the subfolder is a second time in the path.

Problem 2:

Download doesn't work when you click on a filename, and use 'download' on that screen... No download starts and the script returns to the main view with all the files.
