How can I fix the 404 error for the Django admin page on 02switch using Passenger and .htaccess?

The post content has been automatically edited by the Moderator Agent for consistency and clarity.

My primary domain is hosted on 02switch, and I followed their procedure to set up my website. The front-end is at jerome-fraisse.fr with this path: [vxhs3032@kat jerome-fraisse.fr]$
and the Django application is located at: [vxhs3032@kat jeromeapp]$ (jeromeapp:3.8).

I can’t access the Django admin page at ://jerome-fraisse.fr/admin/ because I receive a 404 error. The error details are as follows:

|Request Method:|GET|
| --- | --- |
|Request URL:|link//jerome-fraisse.fr/home/vxhs3032/jeromeapp/admin/|

Using the URLconf defined in `appjerome.urls`, Django tried these URL patterns, in this order:

1. [name='home']
2. admin/

The current path, `home/vxhs3032/jeromeapp/admin/`, didn’t match any of these.

You’re seeing this error because you have `DEBUG = True` in your Django settings file. Change that to `False`, and Django will display a standard 404 page.

I have attempted various .htaccess configurations from the [vxhs3032@kat jerome-fraisse.fr]$ side. Here is the current configuration:

BASH
# DO NOT REMOVE. CLOUDLINUX PASSENGER CONFIGURATION BEGIN PassengerAppRoot "/home/vxhs3032/jeromeapp" PassengerBaseURI "/" PassengerPython "/home/vxhs3032/virtualenv/jeromeapp/3.8/bin/python" PassengerAppLogFile "/home/vxhs3032/error-passenger.log" # DO NOT REMOVE. CLOUDLINUX PASSENGER CONFIGURATION END # Activer le module Rewrite RewriteEngine On # Rediriger vers index.php pour la racine (si nécessaire) RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/$ RewriteRule ^$ /home/vxhs3032/jerome-fraisse.fr/index.php [L] # Rediriger vers le back-office Django RewriteRule ^admin(/.*)?$ /home/vxhs3032/jeromeapp/admin$1 [L,QSA] # Gérer les fichiers statiques pour Django RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^static/(.*)$ /home/vxhs3032/jeromeapp/static/$1 [L] # Gérer les erreurs 404 ErrorDocument 404 /404.html

But nothing works. I'm looking for help to correctly configure the setup so that accessing /admin/ on jerome-fraisse.fr routes to the correct Django admin URL.

If someone can help, thank you.

Django Admin URL Configuration Issue

Based on the error message and your configuration, there appears to be an issue with how your Django application is handling the admin URL. The error shows that Django is trying to match the path home/vxhs3032/jeromeapp/admin/ instead of just admin/, which indicates a problem with how the URL is being passed to Django.

The Problem

The error message shows:

Request URL: link//jerome-fraisse.fr/home/vxhs3032/jeromeapp/admin/

This suggests that the full server path is being included in the URL that Django is trying to process, which is incorrect.

Suggested Solutions

1. Check Your Django URLs Configuration

Make sure your Django urls.py file is correctly configured:

PYTHON
# urls.py from django.contrib import admin from django.urls import path urlpatterns = [ path("admin/", admin.site.urls), # Your other URL patterns ]

2. Fix Your Passenger Configuration

Your Passenger configuration seems to be setting the base URI to "/", but there might be an issue with how it's handling paths. Try modifying your Passenger configuration:

BASH
# DO NOT REMOVE. CLOUDLINUX PASSENGER CONFIGURATION BEGIN PassengerAppRoot "/home/vxhs3032/jeromeapp" PassengerBaseURI "/admin" PassengerPython "/home/vxhs3032/virtualenv/jeromeapp/3.8/bin/python" PassengerAppLogFile "/home/vxhs3032/error-passenger.log" # DO NOT REMOVE. CLOUDLINUX PASSENGER CONFIGURATION END

This would make Passenger handle only the /admin path and pass it to your Django application.

3. Modify Your .htaccess Rewrite Rules

Your current rewrite rule for the admin might be causing issues. Try simplifying it:

BASH
# Rediriger vers le back-office Django RewriteRule ^admin/?(.*)$ /home/vxhs3032/jeromeapp/wsgi.py/$1 [L,QSA]

Make sure your Django application has a proper WSGI entry point that Passenger can use.

4. Check Static Files Configuration

Since you're also having issues with the admin interface, ensure that your static files are properly configured:

  1. Make sure django.contrib.staticfiles is in your INSTALLED_APPS
  2. Run python manage.py collectstatic to collect all static files
  3. Configure your web server to serve static files from the correct location

Additional Considerations

  1. The error message shows that Django is trying to match paths in your URLconf, which suggests that Django is receiving the request but with an incorrect path.

  2. Check if your hosting provider (02switch) has specific requirements for Django applications using Passenger.

  3. You might need to create a separate configuration for serving the admin static files as mentioned in the Django documentation for deployment with mod_wsgi.

If these solutions don't work, you might need to contact your hosting provider for specific guidance on how to properly configure Django applications with Passenger on their platform.
