If you are using mod_wsgi then you definitely do not need
FORCE_SCRIPT_NAME as mod_wsgi does the correct think in respect of
setting up SCRIPT_NAME/PATH_INFO. The only time it might not be right
with mod_wsgi is if you used WSGIScriptAliasMatch to map the
application and you didn't set up the directive properly. This can
happen because how you set up pattern and target for that directive
will control how SCRIPT_NAME is calculated. WSGIScriptAliasMatch
should only be used if absolutely required.

So, post how you configured mod_wsgi to mount your application just to
eliminate that as possibility. Verify that FORCE_SCRIPT_NAME isn't set
in settings.py or if it is that it is set to None.

Someone with more Django knowledge would then need to tell you if you
are specifying urls.py correctly, whether any other settings you need
to check and whether how URL references are generated are correct. All
I can tell you is that if mod_wsgi is set up properly, you should
never need FORCE_SCRIPT_NAME with mod_wsgi.

You may need to explain better what is meant by 'This is causing all
my template links to break'. Ie., what errors are you getting, what
are the URLs it is generating and what they should be etc.
