[Mediawiki-l] Invalid links

Hello,

Does anybody have any thoughts as to why internal article links would be 
different for unauthenticated users vs. authenticated users?  On the 
Main_Page article I have the following wikitext: 
[[How_to_contribute_to_FLIP]]

When Main_Page is rendered for guest users, it produces the following 
HTML:

<pre>
<a href="/index.php/How_to_contribute_to_FLIP" title="How to contribute to 
FLIP">How_to_contribute_to_FLIP</a>
</pre>

However, when an authenticated user views the same page, it produces this:

<pre>
<a href="/flip/index.php/How_to_contribute_to_FLIP" title="How to 
contribute to FLIP">How_to_contribute_to_FLIP</a>
</pre>

The link for the guest user results in a 404 Not Found because index.php 
does not live at the root of the webserver.  Help is appreciated.
