Single Django App behind multiple Apache Proxies

** Django Proxied Behind Apache Path** Middleware and Context Processor for django applications behind a proxy like Apache's mod_proxy. Setting an HTTP header with the base path of the django application in the Apache mod_proxy configuration, we can pull that variable out of the request and adjust our template URIs and redirects. This allows us to serve the same Django application out from behind multiple VirtualHosts at different URL paths. Example use in templates: <a href="{{ base_path }}/login/">Login</a> Example Apache configuration: <LocationMatch ^/path/to/django/app/.*> RequestHeader set X-Base-Path "/path/to/django/app" </LocationMatch> RewriteRule ^/path/to/django/app/(.*) http://django-host:8080/$1 [P,L] In settings.py: VHOST_HEADER = "HTTP_X_BASE_PATH"
