[Django]-How to deploy Django application at sub-url?

This blog explains the solution (assuming that mod_wsgi is used, with nginx/uwsgi the solution is similar apparently in nginx/uwsgi this is not necessary).

The first parameter of WSGIScriptAlias – the /sub-url will be stripped from the request url and the rest will go to your django app. If your Django app urls all start with /sub-url (which are stripped by mod_wsgi), then you will not be able to show the views at those urls, unless you “re-insert” the /sub-url to the request path part.

import django.core.handlers.wsgi

_application = django.core.handlers.wsgi.WSGIHandler()
def application(environ, start_response):
    #the line below will re-append the sub-url to all urls
    environ['PATH_INFO'] = environ['SCRIPT_NAME'] + environ['PATH_INFO']
    #this one will make django think that it's the only thing running on the server
    environ['SCRIPT_NAME'] = '' # my little addition to make it work
    return _application(environ, start_response)

Also in your urls.py all urls must be prefixed with the sub-url of your interest.

Finally, the WSGIScriptAlias must be the same as your sub-url:

#the below line will "take-out" the sub-url and pass the rest
#to your wsgi script
WSGIScriptAlias /sub-url /path/to/wsgi_script

Where file /path/to/wsgi_script must contain the definition of application as shown in the first code snippet.

To make the “sub-url” setup explicit in Django, the equivalent request path patching would have to occur within the Django framework.
