Django Double Slash in URLS Issue (Multiple Webservers, Apache and Nginx) - django

Question

To see an example: load up a example.com, click on a link that's linking to /test and instead of going to http:// example.com/test/ it goes to http:// www.example.net//test/
Or if you login, the login form for the auto-generated django admin section posts to //admin instead of admin.
Seems like this is a django issue, but the only thing I changed was nginx.
Couple of additional notes (added Oct 31):
This problem seems remarkably similar to https://serverfault.com/questions/134863/nginx-fastcgi-problems-with-django-double-slashes-in-url but the difference is that I'm getting slashes added before the project root "//admin/" vs. "admin//". The successful solution there hasn't helped me.
I'm using the current SVN version of Django.
Here is the nginx fastcgi_conf:
#fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param QUERY_STRING $query_string;
fastcgi_param REQUEST_METHOD $request_method;
fastcgi_param CONTENT_TYPE $content_type;
fastcgi_param CONTENT_LENGTH $content_length;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME $fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param REQUEST_URI $request_uri;
fastcgi_param DOCUMENT_URI $document_uri;
fastcgi_param DOCUMENT_ROOT $document_root;
fastcgi_param SERVER_PROTOCOL $server_protocol;
fastcgi_param GATEWAY_INTERFACE CGI/1.1;
fastcgi_param SERVER_SOFTWARE nginx/$nginx_version;
fastcgi_param REMOTE_ADDR $remote_addr;
fastcgi_param REMOTE_PORT $remote_port;
fastcgi_param SERVER_ADDR $server_addr;
fastcgi_param SERVER_PORT $server_port;
fastcgi_param SERVER_NAME $server_name;
fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_script_name;
# PHP only, required if PHP was built with --enable-force-cgi-redirect
fastcgi_param REDIRECT_STATUS 200;
Django project config

Answer 1

fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME '';
This solve the // problem for me.
