How to set default url in settings.py for "www.example.com/path"

Question

I am trying to deploy my django on a server, but this server has an extra tag for the url like this. http://john.example.com/mywebsite instead of http://john.example.com

so whenever I want to redirect from the homepage to other pages, I got error messages because the redirected pages are missing the extra tag /mywebsite

for example I want to direct to http://john.example.com/mywebsite/apple but when I choose on link on the template it direct me to http://john.example.com/apple

so I just wonder if there is a way to fix this by setting default home directory to http://john.example.com/mywebsite instead of http://john.example.com/ so I don't have to fix all my code

Thanks you

Yes It isn't my server. It belongs to my Prof. that he gave us one for each team — user2666818, Apr 30 '14 at 08:59

In your settings.py, add FORCE_SCRIPT_NAME = 'path', where 'path' is the directory where the project resides.

For example, if your site exists at http://john.example.com/mywebsite, settings.py would contain FORCE_SCRIPT_NAME = '/mywebsite'.
