How to access HTTPS on development server - django

I have a Django project. I tried to run develop SSL server by
python manage.py runserver_plus --cert-file cert.crt
But anytime I get error Site doesn't reach. How I can fix it? I have mapped my hosts.ics file, tried also a sslserver, but nothing is working.

Server Error (500) Django App on AWS server

Good day,
i have currently my django project running on an aws server. I have used Nginx and configured it all. The application is running, but when i try to login via the login page i have created or try to login via the admin panel it gives me a Server Error (500). I have my DEBUG=False and added my server dns to ALLOWED_HOSTS. As for the Database. I have got my SQL Database running on an Azure server and used environment variables (that i have permanently set in my ubuntu terminal) to get my password and username.
I have also tried to set DEBUG to False and trying to figure out the issue when running python manage.py runserver so i could experiment with it on my localhost, but no luck. I cant access 127.0.0.1 eventhough i have added it to my Allowed hosts.
How could i see what the error is? Thank you in advance
Ok, so fixed it!
After each change, you simply run the command sudo supervisorctl reload in your powershell after you ssh'ed into your aws ec2 server.
As for seeing what the error is, simply set DEBUG=True

Cannot access django development server without ssl using chrome

I setup a clean django project with:
django-admin startproject newProject
cd newProject
python manage.py migrate
python manage.py runserver
January 29, 2019 - 00:30:02 Django version 2.1.2, using settings
'unchained.settings' Starting development server at
http://127.0.0.1:8000/
And navigate to http://127.0.0.1:8000/ with Google-Chrome (71.0.3578.98):
[29/Jan/2019 00:30:08] You're accessing the development server over HTTPS, but it only supports HTTP.
[29/Jan/2019 00:30:08] code 400, message Bad request version ('ÊÊÀ+À/À,À0̨̩À\x13À\x14\x00\x9c\x00\x9d\x00/\x005\x00')
[29/Jan/2019 00:30:08] You're accessing the development server over HTTPS, but it only supports HTTP.
So, at some point in the past I activated SSL with a totally unrelated project. And for some strange reason, chrome now expects HTTPS. I could probably fix it by deleting the browser cache, but I don't really want to loose all the data that is in there.
How would you solve this?
Django Development server only uses Http protocol instead of Https. Your site is being opened at https://127.0.0.1:8000/ instead of http://127.0.0.1:8000/
Go to settings .py and change
SECURE_SSL_REDIRECT = False

Django code not updating in server

I'm using Djnago 1.8.17. I have deployed the code to a remote server, checked that it is up to date, but the changes do not refresh in the web page.
Things I've tried so far:
Restarted gunicorn and nginx
Using manage.py instead of gunicorn
Clear memcached
Restarted server
Delete all .pyc files
Open in incognito
I've this module that is working fine in other servers, but for some reason this one is showing an old version.
The problem may come from static files
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/ref/contrib/staticfiles/
you try to update them with
python manage.py collectstatic

Django on Vagrant, Postgres both locally and on Heroku, could not connect to server: No such file or directory

I finally got my Django app to deploy on Heroku, using Vagrant and Postgres for both local and production. The localhost is up and running, and I'm in the admin, adding users. But when I run
heroku run python manage.py syncdb
it barfs up this error:
psycopg2.OperationalError: could not connect to server: No such file or directory
Is the server running locally and accepting connections on Unix domain socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432"?
Same thing happens when I try to access the admin online: http://vast-sierra-7949.herokuapp.com/admin/
I'm new to Heroku, and I've tried just about every getting started tutorial I could find, including
http://gettingstartedwithdjango.com/en/lessons/introduction-and-launch/
https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/django,
https://github.com/callmephilip/django-heroku-bootstrap, and
https://github.com/jpadilla/django-project-template
This last github link actually allowed me to deploy, before I was just getting an error when I ran
git push heroku master
and that error was: manage.py: error: no such option: --noreload
I know there are several posts with this error, but I've looked through as many as I could find with no luck on resolving the issue.
Thank you in advance,
Anthony
Be sure to setup heroku DB settings
Check out this blog post: http://jamie.ideasasylum.com/2012/09/connecting-navicat-to-postgresql-on-vagrant/
The author talks about how you have to modify pg_hba.conf by adding the following lines to allow a host machine (in this case, you Heroku instance) to connect to a postgres server installed on a guest VM within the host.
# "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only
local all all md5
# IPv4 local connections:
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5
host all all 10.0.2.2/32 md5
I'm not sure if you can access these files on a Heroku instance, but it's a place to start. Good luck!

How to setup SSL on a local django server to test a facebook app?

I've configured my local machine's HOSTS configuration to access the local server ( # 127.0.0.1 ) whenever I hit http://www.mydomain.com on the browser.
And I was using this to interact with facebook's graph api to build my app. But now facebook requires us to have an HTTPS url or rather an SSL secured url to interact with their api.
So the question is -> How do I setup SSL on a local django server ?
Not to necro a thread, but I found this tool to be extremely easy to use.
It's a premade django application with very simple install instructions.
You can add a certified key once it is installed simply by running:
python manage.py runsslserver --certificate /path/to/certificate.crt --key /path/to/key.key
I hope this helps any passer-by who might see this.
With django-extensions you can run the following command:
python manage.py runserver_plus --cert certname
It will generate a (self-signed) certificate automatically if it doesn't exist. Almost too simple.
You just need to install the following dependencies:
pip install django-extensions
pip install Werkzeug
pip install pyOpenSSL
Now, as Ryan Pergent pointed out in the comments, you lastly only need to add 'django_extensions', to your INSTALLED_APPS and should be good to go.
I used a tunnel before, which worked, but this is much easier and comes with many other commands.
Short answer is you'll need to setup a proper webserver on your development machine. Use whichever one (Apache, nginx, cherokee etc) you're most familiar with.
Longer answer is that the django development server (manage.py runserver) isn't designed to do SSL etc and the effort to make it do so is likely greater than you'd want to spend.
See discussions of this passim on the django-users list: http://groups.google.com/group/django-users/browse_thread/thread/9164126f70cebcbc/f4050f6c82fe1423?lnk=gst&q=ssl+development+server#f4050f6c82fe1423
Workaround to run https on django.
This can be done with stunnel that lets the Facebook server and stunnel on your machine communicate in SSL and stunnel turns around to communicate with Python in HTTP. First install stunnel. For instance in Mac OS X:
brew install stunnel
Then you need to create a settings file for stunnel to execute. You can create a text file anywhere. For instance, you can create dev_https and input:
pid=
cert=/usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem
foreground=yes
debug=7
[https]
accept=8001
connect=8002
TIMEOUTclose=1
stunnel creates a fake certificate. By default on Mac, it’s at /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem. It’ll bring up a warning on your browser saying that your webpage can be fake but Facebook operations still work right. Since stunnel has to listen on one port and Python’s development server cannot run on the same server, you must use different ports for accept (incoming) and connect (internal). Once you have your dev_https file or whatever you called it, run
sudo stunnel dev_https
to start the tunnelling. Then start your Python server.
HTTPS=1 python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8002
Environment variable HTTPS must be set to 1 for it to return secure responses and since we previously set the internal port to 8002, we listen on 8002 from all incoming IPs. Then, your IP:8001 can accept HTTPS connections without changing your webserver and you can continue running another instance of HTTP Python server on a different port.

I understand this has already been answered, but for a clearer solution:
Step 1: Install library
pip install django-sslserver
Step 2: Add to installed apps in settings.py
INSTALLED_APPS = [
'sslserver',
'...'
]
Step 3: Run the code using runsslserver instead of runserver. Certificate & key are optional.
python manage.py runsslserver --certificate /path/to/certificate.crt --key /path/to/key.key
This doesn't solve the automatic testing issue via
./manage.py test
but to run a server with HTTPS you can use RunServerPlus: http://pythonhosted.org/django-extensions/runserver_plus.html
Just install django-extensions and pyOpenSSL:
pip install django-extensions pyOpenSSL
and then run:
python manage.py runserver_plus --cert cert
I've been able to setup ssl on django's test server by using stunnel. Here is some info on how to set it up
Just a note, I wasn't able to get it working using the package provided by debian in apt-get and I had to install from source. In case you have to do the same, please check out the excellent instructions debian forums on how to build debian packages.
There are plenty of instructions online and also on stunnel FAQ on how to create your pem certificate, but ultimately dpkg-buildpackage on Debian built it for me.
I would imagine that things could actually be more straight forward on Windows.
I then was able to make pydev in eclipse start the test server (and also attach to it) by adding a HTTPS=1 environment variable under "Debug Configurations" -> "Environment" -> Variables
I got the same problem when wanna test Sign up using Facebook. After use django SSL Server from https://github.com/teddziuba/django-sslserver. This problem is solved. You may need it too.
This discussion page is really old, earlier Django does not supported SSL, it needs to be done through stunnel or Werkzeug.
Django now supports SSL configuration with django-sslserver:
https://djangopackages.org/packages/p/django-sslserver/
Add in install app and pass certs in command line.
