fix redirect when project is installed in subdirectory

When neither a vhost with proper document root nor an apache alias is configured, the redirect was to the wrong location (without the path prefix). The context_prefix env variable was not available then, so we need to use the logic to determine the RewriteBase automatically as we have done it to resolve the app.php file too.
