The only time that django knows what that url is, is when a request arrives So either your script needs to run in response to a request on django when the domain can be retained; this could be achieved through some configuration page that saves the url in the database which your script can then reference or you provide the script with the url from a configuration file or something similar But there is nothing in django that can be queried to report the url that apache or nginx is configured for -- Drew Ferguson -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
