WP returns to domain root instead of siteurl

On various admin actions (e.g. delete a post), my fresh WP install (dev.mydomain.com/website) returns to the domain root (dev.mydomain.com) instead of dev.mydomain.com/website/wp-admin/edit.php?some-vars-here.

I've setup the WP_HOME and WP_SITEURL to the correct site url, but no difference. Site runs over ssl on Apache (I've added the $_SERVER['HTTPS'] = 'on' to wp-config.php).

I am able to browse the complete wp-admin and the post is deleted on a delete action, but just jumps to the wrong url after completion. I feel like I'm forgetting something dumb here... any clues?

UPDATE

.htaccess is present (was created by WP) and has RewriteBase /website/

Make sure that mod_rewrite is loaded and enabled. If you're not sure, there are plenty of resources on the web with tips on how to check if mod_rewrite is working in your environment. If it is enabled, then check to make sure Apache is set up to allow the use of a .htaccess file for your environment - AllowOverride may be set to None (should be set to All).
