apache - Run Django with URL prefix ("subdirectory") - App works, but URLs broken?

Question

Below are the relevant configuration files, also at http://dpaste.com/97213/ .

The apache config is currently working, because accessing 'example.com/' shows me the index.html file I have placed at the document root.

I'd like to serve Django/apps at the prefix '/d', so 'example.com/d/' would load the default app, 'example.com/d/app3' would load another, as configured in urls.py.

Serving Django, I'm using the suggested mod_wsgi, on Linux.

Currently, I can access the Ticket app at 'example.com/d', but when the @login_required decorator tries to send me to the login page, I get sent to 'example.com/accounts/login', rather than the expected 'example.com/d/accounts/login'.

Since the default app loads correctly, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here, or if this is a bug in Django when generating the urls.

Any suggestions?

EDIT: As a note, if I change the apache config line: WSGIScriptAlias /d /home/blah/django_projects/Tickets/apache/django.wsgi to WSGIScriptAlias / /home/blah/django_projects/Tickets/apache/django.wsgi The application, commenting, and logging in all work fine. Even going to 'example.com/admin' loads the admin, although I've left the admin media broken, so no stylesheets are loaded.

Answer 1

This is a possible duplicate of Django Apache Redirect Problem, as that answer solved this problem.

I only eventually stumbled on that answer by opening almost all of the 'related questions' here, just out of desperation. From my perspective, I think my question has some valuable "search friendly" words.

EDIT: The answer: (via alex vasi)

Things to try:

1. Change current domain to "yourdomain.tld/cflow" in the "sites" framework. It's easy to do using django admin or dumpdata/loaddata manage.py commands.

2. Looks like your site is using login_required decorator. In that particular case you can add to settings.py:

   LOGIN_URL = '/[prefix]/accounts/login/'
