Trying to access django server on localhost from my react native app. All I get is Network Error, which doesn't say much. Tried changing info.plist file as suggested in other answers on stack, tried changing firewall settings and so on.
The thing that worked and solved all my problems was changing the url on axios to my local ip and running django server with command: python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0 which to my understanding will accept any connection to the server.

I have a django project in my pc.
In terminal I've run python3 manage.py runserver <my ipaddress>:8001
When I try to open the link in another pc, it is showing error page which says:
Invalid HTTP_HOST header: '<my ipaddress>:8001'. You may need to add '<my ipaddress>' to ALLOWED_HOSTS.
What should I do?
And moreover is it possible to put some text in place of ipaddress in the url?
For example, I want to host it as myproject/ instead of that complex url.
On one condition this will work
if both computers are on the same network like local Hotspot or same
LAN network
steps:
add '*' in your django projects's setting file in Allowed Host it will look like
ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['*']
run your server on this ip 0.0.0.0 and port any like 8000 using this command
manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
run ifconfig if you are using linux ipconfig if windows then you will get your ip address of your server
Open browser in another computer and enter the ip of server shown in 3rd step with port as 8000
http://ip-of-server:8000
Instead of passing <my-ip-address> to the runserver command, pass 0.0.0.0.
If both the machines are in the same network you can run the application on 0.0.0.0 IP address (refers to all IPv4 addresses on the local machine). Refer this link wiki 0.0.0.0 for more details. So, on application server run this:
manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8001
Now, from the other machines, access it using http://youripaddresss:8001 , where < youripaddress > is the actual ip address of your machine.
If both computers are not on the same network (local hotspot or LAN network)
You can use ngrok to view whatever is running on your localhost from any device
Using ngrok to view your django project from any device
follow the steps below:
Add '*' in your django projects's setting file in Allowed Hosts:
ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['*']
Download ngrok from the official website
Unzip the downloaded file and then go to the directory where the ngrok file is located via your terminal
Then type the command:
ngrok http 8000
or
./ngrok http 8000
Now you can open the url generated by ngrok on any device to view what is running on your pc:
https://randomly_generated_subdomain.ngrok.io
PS: this can also be used for any webserver running locally, not just django site
ngrok is a great tool that can be used to:
Run personal cloud services from your home
Demo websites without deploying
Build webhook consumers on your dev machine
Test mobile apps connected to your locally running backend
Stable addresses for your connected devices that are deployed in the field
Run your server with this command python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
Then you can access your website from any system connected to your wifi with an URL like 192.168.0.1:8000
You may get your IP Address using this command in CMD ipconfig in windows and ifconfig in mac
Also add your IP to ALLOWED_HOSTS in setting.py
ALLOWED_HOST = ['*'] in your settings.py
python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
then make sure your machine firewall allows incoming and outgoing traffic.
I use linux machine so from control center go to firewall and allow both incoming and outgoing.
then on your local network machine.
:8000
This is it !
worked for me
We have a dev server with the internal hostname dev1.internal.blah.com running nginx. I'm trying to create a test Django project testproject from the Django tutorial on this server. I access this server by ssh-ing into it.
So on this server I installed Django, created a new directory, issued django-admin startproject mysite within it, then issued python manage.py runserver 8765 and got the
success message Starting development server at http://127.0.0.1:8765/
Now how would I access the http://127.0.0.1:8765 site from a browser? I tried using http://dev1.internal.blah.com:8765 but got a This site can't be reached error message.
If I try curl http://127.0.0.1:8765 from the terminal, I see the correct html being rendered.
The nginx www directory is located at /usr/share/nginx/html if it helps.
By default, Django development server runs on port 8000 on the IP address 127.0.0.1, but note that that IP address is accessible only from your own server.
To make the runserver viewable to others, use either its own IP address or 0.0.0.0. or :: with IPv6 enabled.
So, you should probably run it like this:
python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8765
I have a ubuntu server hosting a web page driven by Python Django, I can access that page by using the following command:elinks http:// 127.0.0.1:8000.
Now if I want to access that same web page on a macbook sharing the same home router with my ubuntu server(local ip: 10.0.0.9), how would I do it? Typing in elinks http:// 10.0.0.9:8000 wouldn't work.
Thanks a lot,

Are you running the development server using manage.py?
If so, you should start the server using:
python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
This will allow the development server to be visited by ips on all interfaces instead of just localhost.
You need to serve it. There are a number of ways to do this, but my preferred method is to use Nginx as a reverse proxy server for gunicorn. This is a good tutorial for that.
I know I have similar question with this post: Django tutorial on remote server: how to view in my browser? But I just can't solve it with the answer it has.
I am playing with Django framework now. I am trying to do the Django tutorial on my Linode server. Everything works fine, but when we have to examine the webpage we have, the tutorial says that we have to check http://127.0.0.1:8000/ on the server. I only have command line access on the Linode server, so I don't know how to see that webpage on the linode from my desktop. I tried to use the command like python manage.py runserver 123.123.123.123:8000 and set the ip to my Linode server, but I still can't access that webpage from my desktop (I do remove the firewall for 8000 port). Does anyone know how can I check the change for the remote webpage I created within Django framework on the Linode server? Thanks.
Just to make sure, are you trying to access the following URL in your browser (where the server ip address is 123.123.123.123)?
http://123.123.123.123:8000
Secondly, are you able to telnet to port 8000, to make sure you have correctly opened the port on the firewall.
I had this problem too and I wanted to clarify what I did for others who might get stuck:
First, remove the firewall for port 8000
sudo nano /etc/iptables.firewall.rules
-A INPUT -p tcp --dport 8000 -j ACCEPT
Second, reboot the linode
Third, restart the development server
cd /home/mycode/mysite
python manage.py runserver 123.123.123.123:8000
(where you use your ip)
I am trying to debug an issue that happens on our testing server. So how do I make it so that I can access our testing server when I start Django by typing:
python manage.py runserver
?
Does it have to pass through Apache? If so, I need to configure Apache somehow but I am not using mod_wsgi and so, don't know how to do this.
Thanks! :)
the test server runs its own web server. the defaul options starts a server on
http://127.0.0.1:8000/, which you can then open in your browser
you can specify an optional ip address/server using
manage.py runserver ip:port
using ip 0.0.0.0 for all network interfaces
