Django prefix on all generated URLs

Question

My proxy (nginx public port 80) to django (gunicorn wsgi localhost port 8000) strips off the path to the application \"/app\" so requests for http://server/app/hello

Answer 1

Simplest way is to write your own wsgi dispatcher, like one below

def application(environ, request_response):
  # do whatever you want with path

  sys.path.append(path_to_django_project)
  os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'proj_name.settings'

  # pass control to django
  import django.core.handlers.wsgi
  app_entry_point = django.core.handlers.wsgi.WSGIHandler()
  return app_entry_point(environ,request_response)

Answer 2

See documentation for FORCE_SCRIPT_NAME:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/settings/#force-script-name

Set that to be '/app' instead of default of None.
