Site name appearing in django URLs

Question

I'm having an issue where a call to the url template tag in Django is appending the site name (I don't want it in there.)

Let's say that the site name is 'mysite'.

So for example:

<a href="{% url myapp.views.myview "myparam" %}">Link text</a>

is producing:

<a href="/mysite/foo/bar">Link text</a>

when I want it to produce:

<a href="/foo/bar">Link text</a>

My urls.py is set up like this:

from django.conf.urls.defaults import *
import mysite.myapp.views

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    (r'^/foo/bar/$', 'mysite.myapp.views.myview'),
)

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Edit - when the site was in development, it was on a subdirectory of a test server, with the app as the subdirectory! So it was sitting on http://www.mytestserver.com/mysite. There's no caching in place, and all the references to /mysite were removed prior to going live.

Answer 1

Are you sure, that this is the rendered version? Docs say, that an absolute url should be produced, i.e. /mysite/foo/bar. Are you checking source in the browser? Try printing out the result of render_to_string (or other rendering function you are using) and check, if there example.com is added too.

Answer 2

Check your modpython configuration, if you've got one. There may be a line that looks like PythonOption django.root /mysite Remove that.
