Because it will not work. Based on description he is mounting Django application on /sees in Apache, likely as: WSGIScriptAlias /sees /some/path/django.wsgi This means that only URLs under /sees will get passed to Django. Further, when mounted at sub URL, you should not have the mount point, ie.. /sees, mentioned in urls.py patterns anyway. The patterns should always be relative to the mount point. This is because PATH_INFO, which is what is matched against the patterns, doesn't include /sees. The /sees is in SCRIPT_NAME only for that configuration. > > Hi all , I need some help understanding the mod rewrite module of apache . > > What I wished to do want that i had a comments folder by the name of > > /comments/ .

Only the sub URLs /sees and / comments will get passed through to Django though. Because the mount point has shifted, your urls.py do have to take that into consideration though, and so you would have patterns starting with: ^sees ^comments Doing this avoids all the problems that can arise with using mod_rewrite. It does mean though your primary sub URL mount point is in the patterns in urls.py. Graham -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
