I’m running two django projects from the same server. The first instance runs at port 8000, the second one runs at 8010. My server is configured so that requests for [www.mywebhoster.com/test/](http://www.mywebhoster.com/test/) go to port 8000, requests for [www.mywebhoster.com/rbp\_website/](http://www.mywebhoster.com/rbp_website/) go to 8010. Now I want to make each instance of django oblivious of the fact that they are being run in subfolders. Otherwise I have to add “test/” or “rbp\_website/” in front of every entry in my urls.py. I’m very unexperienced with configuring servers, so any hints would be helpful.

Is this something that I do at the server level? Or is there a setting in Django that allows me to clarify this once?

Assuming that you’re running separate uwsgi containers for `test` and `rbp_website`, you handle this at the server / uwsgi layer.

In your uwsgi.ini file, add

```auto
mount = /test=test.wsgi:application
manage-script-name = true

```

This allows uwsgi to effectively strip off the initial `/test` from the referenced url within the application.

(Note, since nginx handles my static files directly, I do have separate static subdirectories in my nginx config pointing to the different directories. I don’t have uwsgi service static files.)
