Django url/page displayed with development server but not apache server

Question

I'm working on Django 1.11, the URL,

http://djangoserver:8002/dj/dev/userlogin/789

works with development server, but with apache URL:

http://djangoserver/dj/dev/userlogin/789

it throws Page not found (404) error.

Regex used for the URL is : url(r'^[0-9]+$', views.userlogin.login , name='login'),

The reset of pages are displayed properly.

I have tried solution posted in the following posts which did not work for me: django application works on development server but I get 404 on Apache

working on django development server but not on apache

django production server: root path

I'm not using any virtualhost.My httpd.conf file code snippet:

WSGIScriptAlias /dj /var/www/html/dev/dev/wsgi.py

WSGIDaemonProcess djangoserver  python-path=/var/www/html/dev

WSGIProcessGroup djangoserver

WSGIScriptAlias /dj /var/www/html/dev/dev/wsgi.py process-group=djangoserver

<Directory /var/www/html/dev/dev >
#       Options -Indexes +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
<Files wsgi.py>
Require all granted
</Files>
</Directory>
Alias /static/ /var/www/html/dev/dev_app/static/
<Directory /var/www/html/dev/dev_app/static/ >
    Require all granted
</Directory>

Could be usefull if you post here your Apache Configuration file (at least, the VirtualHost file you are using) — jeasoft

You're setting /dj as the the alias for your Django application, that means your Django app receives the path /dev/userlogin/789, not /dj/dev/userlogin/789. On your dev server that's the path that works, so you should change your Apache configuration to:

WSGIScriptAlias / /var/www/html/dev/dev/wsgi.py

So that /dj is still part of the path parsed by your application.

I have tried this solution, it does not work. With out any alias, django throws 404 error. Even if url file states : url(r'^dev/', include('dev_app.urls',namespace='dev_app',app_name='dev_app')), url(r'^dj/dev/', include('dev_app.urls',namespace='dev_app',app_name='dev_app')),

Do you know if the 404 is thrown by Apache or Django? Check your logs.

Would help then to show us the error, what URL is it trying to match?

s_user Over a year ago

The error thrown is: Using the URLconf defined in dev.urls, Django tried these URL patterns, in this order: ^admin/ ^dev/ ^dj/dev/ The empty path didn't match any of these.

that's when trying to fetch /dj/dev/userlogin/789? The error says django received an empty path... Note also that your WSGIScriptAlias should be at the end (if using /) in order to catch the static alias.

The only change I made is to declare WSGIScriptAlias along with process-group in httpd.conf file, code snippet:

WSGIDaemonProcess djangoserver  python-path=/var/www/html/dev

WSGIProcessGroup djangoserver

WSGIScriptAlias /dj /var/www/html/dev/dev/wsgi.py process-group=djangoserver

<Directory /var/www/html/dev/dev >
<Files wsgi.py>
Require all granted
</Files>
</Directory>
Alias /static/ /var/www/html/dev/dev_app/static/
<Directory /var/www/html/dev/dev_app/static/ >
    Require all granted
</Directory>
