I am using django's sites framework with dajngo 1.7. I am calling the site name through a context processor like below. The problem is that every time the page loads, it switches between site1 and site2:

def site_info(request):

    Site.objects.clear_cache()# i tried with and without this
    site = get_current_site(request)
    site_detail = SiteDetail.objects.get(site_id=site.id)


    return {
            'site_domain': site.domain,
            'site_name': site.name,
            'site_short_name': site_detail.short_name,
            }

In my template I simply refer to the site name to do some logic and it switches back and forth between 2 of my sites on every request:

{% if site_name = 'Site 1' %}
                        <img src="{% static 'img/site1-logo.png' %}" alt="">
                    {% elif site_name = 'Site 2' %}
                        <img src="{% static 'img/site2-logo.png' %}" alt="">
                    {% endif %}

My httpd.conf looks like this:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName mysite1.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/mysitedjango
    WSGIScriptAlias / /var/www/html/mysitedjango/mysite1/mysite1_wsgi.py
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName mysite2.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/mysitedjango
    WSGIScriptAlias / /var/www/html/mysitedjango/mysite1/mysite2_wsgi.py
</VirtualHost>



Alias /static/ /var/www/html/mysitedjango/shared/static/

<Directory /var/www/html/mysitedjango/shared/static/>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Directory>

WSGIPythonPath /var/www/html/mysitedjango

<Directory /var/www/html/mysitedjango>
<Files wsgi.py>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Files>
</Directory>

Is this a bug? How can I stop swapping and make each site completely sandboxed?

What happens if you disable all caching (try setting it to the dummy cache).

Also, you really shouldn't put your python code in your server's DocumentRoot. There's absolutely no reason to do it that way. You're just asking to have your settings.py file exposed by a misconfigured apache instance.

My question is this a bug?  I want to report it if so.  Even if disabling caching works, wouldn't still be considered a bug?

I wasn't suggesting that disabling caching was the fix, but just a way to start debugging the issue. Did it go away when you completely disabled the cache? Next step is to enable the cache again and progressively remove caching statements from your app till you find the culprit. For example:

1. Remove caching middleware. Still occurring?
2, Check and remove caching on your view methods/classes (assuming you've added some). Still occurring?
3. Examine your own non-view code for places you do manual caching. Still occurring?
4. Remove any caching blocks in your templates. Still occurring?
5. Once you have no places in your project where you've added caching then yes, it might be a bug in Django itself.
