Essentially, the Apache DocumentRoot pointed at a location redirected using a symlink, and parts of the path pointed to by the symlink make their way into the URL during installation. This did not occur with WordPress 3.6. I developed a test case to replicate the problem: 1. I installed a fresh Debian VM with a LAMP stack to test with. 2. `mkdir -p /srv/var/www` 3. `rm -rf /var/www` 4. `ln -s /srv/var/www /var/www` 5. Extract WordPress 3.7.1 into `/srv/var/www`. 6. View the installation in a web browser. 7. The ''Create a Configuration File'' link points at `http://server/srv/wp-admin/setup-config.php` instead of `http://server/wp-admin/setup-config.php`. Note the addition of '''/srv''' into the URL. I'd say this was related to #25317, r25396, #24480, #16884, r25436." defect (bug) closed normal 3.8 Upgrade/Install 3.7 normal fixed has-patch
