How to Mount Django App with uwsgi?

Question

I am using uwsgi to deploy a Django app. I want the app to be accessed under:

SERVER_URL:PORT/APP_NAME

my uswgi configuration are:

[uwsgi]
http=:PORT
threads = 10
die-on-term=true
chdir = /dir/to/my/app/
home = /dir/to/my/app/
logto = /dir/to/log/LOG.log    
wsgi-file = /dir/to/my/app/main_package/wsgi.py
mount = /APP_NAME=/dir/to/my/app/main_package/wsgi.py

I can't get the mount to work. I get the app under SERVER_URL:PORT and not under SERVER_URL:PORT/APP_NAME.

The logs I get are:

I also tried to delete wsgi-file from the uswgi configuration, and leave only the mount configuration. I got:

mounting /dir/to/my/app/main_package/wsgi.py on /APP_NAME
WSGI app 0 (mountpoint='/APP_NAME') ready in 0 seconds on interpreter 0x24ae780 pid: 11515 (default app)

And still the app wasn't mounted correctly.

How do I mount my app?

P.S. I want to avoid using nginx.

Answer 1

nginx cannot pass the correct SCRIPT_NAME (and PATH_INFO) to uWSGI. You need to tell uWSGI to make translation by itself with --manage-script-name

By the way you do not need wsgi-file as mount already loads it
