I want to get the server url in django. So I went through stackoverflow and found out that in order to do this I will have to do the following:
>>> from django.contrib.sites.models import Site >>> mysite = Site.objects.get_current() I tried the above inside python manage.py shell in the production server and expected mysite to give me the production server's url but it gives example.com
>>> mysite <Site: example.com> Am I missing some configuration or something?
The Site object is stored in the database. Change it there, and you're done.
from django.contrib.sites.models import Site mysite = Site.objects.get_current() mysite.domain = 'mysite.com' mysite.name = 'My Site' mysite.save() Alternatively, you can change it in the /admin/ section of your site at /admin/sites/site/1/.
This allows you to run multiple sites from the same code-base.
You could try build_absolute_uri - see How can I get the full/absolute URL (with domain) in Django?
