Django from subdirectorys with FCGI

[wintesa@…]

When running Django from a subdirectory in a shared webhosting enviroment on trying to use the admin, it redirects one back to the root of the webhost cutting out the directory that it originated from.

ps I didnt check if frank.com actually exists.

The .htaccess in /myproject:

AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(media/.*)$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !(django.fcgi)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /~eric/myproject/django.fcgi/myproject/$1 [QSA,L]

---

urls.py for myproject:

(r'^myproject/admin/', include('django.contrib.admin.urls')),

---

Admin Page (works):
​http://www.frank.com/~eric/myproject/admin

On login or failure (error):
​http://www.frank.com/myproject/admin
Get redirected back to the root of the webhosting.
