Hi,
currently, you must specify a non-empty URL where egroupware is installed. Therefore you cannot install egroupware at root (there are workarounds but they impose other problems e.g. if your server is multi-homed). If you still try, various things don’t work, e.g. translations are missing sometimes.
Digging into the sources, I tracked this bug down to commit #46252. More specifically, strip_egw_url() of egw_files.js converts absolute to relative URLs. It assumes that the base url (egw.webserverUrl) is a unique substring inside that URL. This doesn’t hold true if
- that base URL is empty
- the base URL is too “generic” (e.g. “/js”)
Further, protocol detection never worked (see “var need_full_url…” in patch). This leads to potential duplicate loading of files.
I propose the following patch, but IMHO the entire logic of this function should be rewritten to make it really safe.:

var need_full_url = egw_url[0] == '/' && file.substr(4) == 'http' ? window.location.protocol+'://'+window.location.host : '';

-
// discard protocol and host
-
parts.shift();
-
_urls[i] = parts.join(need_full_url+egw_url);

}
}
return _urls;
}
I would be happy if you could commit that (or something better) to the code base.
