Single Django Application, Multiple Instances - django

Question

I'm new to Django and have a question about Django application design.
I want to write one application and have multiple instances of it running, each under a different URL. Each instance would store its data in its own tables and each instance would have a different set of users. The different instances would be accessed from different URLs, but from the same domain and run the same application code behind the scenes.
For example if I had two instances, they would be accessed from the following URLs:
http://www.domain.com/instance1
http://www.domain.com/instance2
I've got my models defined, and I can run a single application, single instance, with multiple users just fine. However it's not clear to me how to support multiple instances.
I've taken a look at the sites framework, which is almost what I want, but I need everything to be hosted under the same domain.
Any tips on how I can run multiple instances of a single application with Django?

Answer 1

You could simply copy the django project to another place and create a new apache site.
For example:
Create a virtual host in /etc/apache2/sites-available/domain.eu_first
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName domain.eu
WSGIScriptAlias /first /var/www/first/wsgi
<Directory /var/www/first>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
and
a virtual host in /etc/apache2/sites-available/domain.eu_second
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName domain.eu
WSGIScriptAlias /second /var/www/second/wsgi
<Directory /var/www/second>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Now copy your project to first and second. And activate your apache sites by a2ensite domain.eu_first and a2ensite domain.eu_second
You have to proof that you have used only relativ links in your project.
