[Mediawiki-l] Redirect to index.php/Main_Page invalidates url

Hi,

I have a problem with MediaWiki 1.15. Mediawiki is installed on server A 
which is an apache2 server. Accessing MediaWiki via:
http://A/mediawiki
works, the url is correctly redirected to
http://A/mediawiki/index.php/Main_Page

Now here is the problem. Server A is externally accessible via
http://www.somedomain.com/somefolder/

Now when I try to access the wiki from the outside world via
http://www.somedomain.com/somefolder/mediawiki/
I also get redirected to
http://internal-ip-of-server-A/mediawiki/index.php/Main_Page

which will obviously not work. Accessing the page directly via
http://www.somedomain.com/somefolder/mediawiki/index.php/Main_Page

loads the page but without the style, so just vanilla html style.

Is there some way to tell MediaWiki to check which url was used and that 
it should use this as base url?

Cheers

Philipp
