How to run a django app in a subdirectory alias

Hi,

I want to run a simple test project in a subdirectory alias on our development server. The basic setup is an nginx with a location that passes everything in a subdirectory to the wsgi application.

Django obviously does not understand that it runs in an subdirectory alias, which completely destroys URL generation and parsing.

I could not find any prefix-like setting in the docs and my google fu also did not help that much... so I'm asking here instead.

The only thing I did find was the setting FORCE_SCRIPT_NAME which at least fixes the URL generation. (see: http://docs.webfaction.com/software/django/config.html#mounting-a-django-application-on-a-subpath)

Sadly this does not fix the urlconf parsing, even though the mentioned site suggests that.

Is it possible to run a django application in a subdirectory alias and if so, how?

Thanks,

Sven

PS:

nginx config:

server {

        location /fancyprojectname/static {

                alias /srv/fancyprojectname/static;

        }

        location /fancyprojectname/ {

                uwsgi_pass unix://var/run/uwsgi/app/fancyprojectname/socket;

                include uwsgi_params;

        }

}
