In the tutorial, the form action in the poll_detail template is
hardcoded to "/polls/..."
So the browser is doing what's been explicitly asked of it, despite
Django doing its best to deal gracefully with your mounting the app
at /mysite.
In my own newcomer approach, the way I found to work around this is to
pass in the script name into the context that goes to the template in
the render_to_response line of the view
'script_name':request.META['SCRIPT_NAME']
and then use that in the form action URL:
<form action="{{ script_name }}/polls/{{ object.id }}/vote/"
method="post">
This proobably means a // in the URL if you mount your site at /, but
I think most browsers and servers won't care about that extra /
I welcome anyone pointing out a better way to make the form action
more "portable" in projects...
