     # project in a subdirectory, the base path will be prepended to allow proper
     # resolution of the app.php file and to redirect to the correct URI. It will
     # work in environments without path prefix as well, providing a safe, one-size
     # fits all solution. But as you do not need it in this case, you can comment
