Can the following issue be revisited.

This is another of those issues where Django isn't being particular
friendly to people who want to have relocatable sites. That is, where
in in one environment it may be mounted at root of site (eg.
development server), but where it has to be mounted at a sub URL in
another (eg. production). It also relates to the whole problem where a
web application, to be a well behaved WSGI citizen, should honour
SCRIPT_NAME setting as supplied by the server, and ensure that ways
are provided such that everything in the users code, including
configuration, urls or settings files, can be expressed relative to
the URL that the application is mounted at, thereby avoiding as much
as possible any need for a user to modify their code base when
deploying to a new environment at a different location in URL
namespace.

Yes I know Jacob knocked it on the head last time, but this problem
keeps occasionally popping up because it seems not to be obvious that
people need to go and change stuff when mounting an application at a
sub URL. The solution may be the introduction of a new section in the
Django documentation outlining all the things that need to be done
differently when mounting site at a sub URL. At least then people cant
complain the requirements aren't documented even if some may think it
is a silly requirement to begin with. :-)
