It took me awhile to deploy Django in sub-directory. Actually, I move it from sub-domain to sub-directory. I hope this post will save you some hours searching the Internet.

Prerequisite or situation

You are running Django in sub-domain, another domain and you want to move it to a sub-directory. You’re properly having issue with urlpatterns which may lead to code revise. However you still want to keep your code same.

You may also want to check out how to Setup Django behind uWSGI and NGINX on CentOS 7. FYI I am currently using Linode and DigitalOcean to host my sites.

Deploy Django in sub-directory

If you are running Django, along with WordPress, on a VPS like me, you only need to update NginX & uWSGI configuration files.

Here you go demo: https://www.vndeveloper.com/django-demo/

That’s it. There are only few things from configuration files. You may also want to check out Setup Django behind uWSGI and NGINX on CentOS 7 to understand how to configure at server side.
