How to install a server at home with django&postgre - django

Question

Please help me to set my home PC as a server (Windows 10 + Python + Django + Postgre SQL + Anaconda)
There are several instructions on how to set the server on the Internet, and surprisingly, many instructions differ from each other. I have absolutely no experience in setting a server. Probably, I’m making a stupid mistake somewhere that I can’t identify for 3 days. I am lost.
I believe that most useful instructions are these (they are complete and new):
https://www.codementor.io/aswinmurugesh/deploying-a-django-application-in-windows-with-apache-and-mod_wsgi-uhl2xq09e
https://ostrokach.gitlab.io/post/apache-django-anaconda/
I followed the instructions and successfully downloaded the necessary modules, installed Wamp, made the changes as displayed in the guide and started it. What I see now: the Wamp icon glows green. When I load a localhost, the page loads endlessly but does not load.
Wamp error log shows following: [Fri Oct 11 14:50:33.823752 2019]
[core:notice] [pid 1364:tid 808] AH00094: Command line:

Project name: turiumasina
path D:/Users/PycharmProjects/turiumasina/
path to wsgi:D:/Users/PycharmProjects/turiumasina/turiumasina/wsgi_windows.py (I renamed wsgi to wsgi_windows, settings file is in turiumasina/turiumasina/)
I copied the output generated by the mod_wsgi-express command and pasted it at the end of C:\wamp64\bin\apache\apache\conf\httpd.conf
my httpd-vhosts.conf
ServerName localhost
WSGIPassAuthorization On
ErrorLog "logs/turiumasina.error.log"
CustomLog "logs/turiumasina.access.log" combined

import os
import sys
import site
from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application
site.addsitedir("C:/users/.conda/envs/turiumasina/Lib/site-packages")
sys.path.append('D:/Users/PycharmProjects/turiumasina')
sys.path.append('D:/Users/PycharmProjects/turiumasina/turiumasina')
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'turiumasina.settings'
os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "turiumasina.settings")
application = get_wsgi_application()
I generated the "static" folder, wrote a line in the settings.py:
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')
If I enter python manage.py runserver via pycharm, I can see my site through a browser (http://127.0.0.1:8000/). the Wamp icon glows green. When I load a localhost, the page loads endlessly but does not load.
I would like my site to be visible not only to me, but also to Internet users by entering my external IP.
If you need, I can send you the whole project and project settings

I would get rid of WAMP altogether, I don't see why you need it if you're not using PHP or MySql.
If you just need to play/debug the Django app over the local network just run ./manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000 (or any other port). Make sure your Windows firewall is allowing incoming connections to the port.
The connect to it you need the computer's actual IP not '0.0.0.0:8000'. Type 'ipconfig' at the command prompt to see what your actual IP is an then connect to Your_actual_IP:8000
If you need something more solid than the build-in Django server (to run in non-debug mode) then you can install Waitress (https://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/waitress/en/latest/).
