How to correctly configure apache for reverse proxy serve django app

Hi I've been trying to correctly configure apache as reverse proxy for my django application. When served from port :4300 it goes all fine, but when I tried to use reverse-proxy all goes wrong.

When I try to acces when logged in

192.168.100.201/fact

I get the expected functionality, but when I press anything to admin app of django i get

192.168.100.201/admin

when I should get

192.168.100.201/fact/admin

Even if I write it in the browser I'm still redirected to 192.168.100.201/admin

I kwon that maybe is a dub question but it is something that I couldnt realize.

In the urls.py file this is the configuration

    from django.conf.urls import include, url
from django.contrib import admin

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^',include('fact.urls')),
    url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),
]

In my django.conf file the configuration is the following

<VirtualHost 192.168.100.205:4300>
Alias /static /opt/SEMFAC/fact/static
<Directory /opt/SEMFAC/fact/static>
    Require all granted
</Directory>

<Directory /opt/SEMFAC/SEMFAC>
    <Files wsgi.py>
        Require all granted
    </Files>
</Directory>



WSGIDaemonProcess SEMFAC python-path=/opt/SEMFAC:/opt/SEMFAC/lib/python2.7/site-packages
WSGIProcessGroup SEMFAC
WSGIScriptAlias / /opt/SEMFAC/SEMFAC/wsgi.py
</VirtualHost>

And the configuration within apache i have

<Location /fact>
  ProxyPreserveHost On
  ProxyPass http://192.168.100.205:4300
  ProxyPassReverse http://192.168.100.205:4300
</Location>

So this is what did the trick

<VirtualHost 192.168.100.205:4300>
Alias /fact/static /opt/SEMFAC/fact/static
<Directory /opt/SEMFAC/fact/static>
    Require all granted
</Directory>

<Directory /opt/SEMFAC/SEMFAC>
    <Files wsgi.py>
        Require all granted
    </Files>
</Directory>


WSGIDaemonProcess SEMFAC python-path=/opt/SEMFAC:/opt/SEMFAC/lib/python2.7/site-packages
WSGIProcessGroup SEMFAC
WSGIScriptAlias /fact /opt/SEMFAC/SEMFAC/wsgi.py
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:*>
    ProxyPreserveHost On
    ProxyPass /fact http://192.168.100.205:4300/fact
    ProxyPassReverse /fact http://192.168.100.205:4300/fact

    ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>
