Reversed URLs problem

[adambossy]

Hi folks, I'm having trouble with reversed urls when they are being
called as template tags. I posted my question on Stack Overflow last
week with no adequate responses. I'll copy it here (with slight
modifications) for convenience.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2189119/project-name-inserted-automatically-in-url-when-using-django-template-url-tag

I have my urls named like so in my root urls.py file...

...
url(r'^login/$', 'login', name='site_login'),
...

This allows me to access /login at my site's root. I have my template
tag defined like so...

...
<a href="{% url site_login %}">
...

It works fine, except that Django automatically resolves that url as /
myprojectname/login, not /login. Both urls are accessible. Only one is
defined. Why is the projectname being inserted to the url
automagically? This occurs for all url tags, not just this one.

Thanks,
Adam

If all URLs work both with and without a prefix, it would seem that
you've somehow duplicated your URL definitions somewhere. Could you
post your entire urls.py? Preferably somewhere like dpaste.com.

Also some information about deployment environment might be illuminating.  If not the dev server, what exactly, and what sort of config have you set up for it?

Hey folks, thanks for the responses. Your questions alone helped me
find the answer. Apparently, it was a problem with my apache2
configuration. I basically copied the directives from the django
website, with one small modification:

http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/deployment/modpython/#basic-configuration

I changed <Location "/mysite"> to <Location "/"> so my Django project
would be served at my site's root directory.

I had to remove '/mysite' from the django.root option. My final output
looks like this, with no value after django.root:"

<Location "/">
SetHandler python-program
PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython
SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE mysite.settings
PythonOption django.root
PythonDebug On
</Location>

For the record, I am running:

Django 1.0
Apache 2.2
mod_python 3.3.1 (i think... :))
Ubuntu Hardy 8.04.4

Don't use an empty django.root, just remove it entirely. 

(I'm curious why are you using mod_python instead of mod_wsgi?)
