Is it possible to have one 'master' Django website and N satelite websites

Question

I am thinking of a configuration where I have one master website at :

www.masterdomain.com

and N satelite domains where I can access the satelite domains as follows:

www.masterdomain.com/some_url/satetlite1.html www.masterdomain.com/some_url/satetlite2.html ... www.masterdomain.com/some_url/satetliteN.html

Is this possible?

Answer 1

The sites Framework may interest you.

Django comes with an optional “sites” framework. It’s a hook for associating objects and functionality to particular Web sites, and it’s a holding place for the domain names and “verbose” names of your Django-powered sites.

Use it if your single Django installation powers more than one site and you need to differentiate between those sites in some way.

Also there are a couple of good blog post about that matter, e.g. this one:
