What's the URL of the page containing the problem?

Not public.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. install reviewboard into a subdirectory
2. set SITE_ROOT='/reviewboard/'

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

- Site should work.
- Site is not working: 404 error,  ^reviewboard/  does not match requested url: reviewboard/

What operating system are you using? What browser?

OSX server, apache2, fastcgi, django alpha2, firefox 3

Please provide any additional information below.
 
Solution to the problem:

in djblets/util/rooturl.py
urlpatterns = patterns('',
#    (r'^%s' % settings.SITE_ROOT[1:], include(settings.SITE_ROOT_URLCONF)),
    (r'', include(settings.SITE_ROOT_URLCONF)),
)

I do not know the whole system enough well to tell why is it working like this.

It sounds like you're doing some sort of URL rewriting in the apache server. I
suggest you just use whatever works for you; the SITE_ROOT stuff is pretty well
tested with various deployments these days.
