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'm currently testing Django on Codenvy but I have difficulties to find out how to connect to the build-in development server of Django.
I added a server in the Workspace configuration with port 8000 and http protocole.
I added the following in the run command of Codenvy's project :
Commande line :
cd ${current.project.path} && python manage.py runserver
Preview :
http://${server.port.8000}
The run prompt provide me a url : http://nodexx.codenvy.io:xxxxx
Going to this URL print a message : ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
I'm very new to all of this. Do you know what is missing ?
Django dev server by default accepts connections only from localhost. In order to access it from another machine, start runserver by binding it with an IP, or 0 for the app to be accessed from everywhere.
python manage.py runserver 0:8000
The above command runs the server in 8000 port, binding the network to 0.0.0.0, which means the app can be accessed from anywhere
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
I created one EC2 instance for Django project with Ubuntu server.
I installed all required package of django, python etc successfully.
But when I am trying through ssh with private ip : python manage.py runserver xxx.xx.xx.xx:8983 its running, but when I am trying to load it through browser its gives as error : "The Connecion has timed out"
I have assigned VPC security group to this instance.
Also, I try with public IP address through SSH: : python manage.py runserver XXX.XX.XX.XX:8983
It gave error as follows :
Validating models...
0 errors found
July 15, 2015 - 22:34:10
Django version 1.6.7, using settings 'conf.settings.local'
Starting development server at http://xx.xx.xxx.xx:8983/
Quit the server with CONTROL-C.
Error: That IP address can't be assigned-to.
And same error occurred when I run in browser.
I also tried following both options but no luck
0:8000
0.0.0.0:8000 port running successfully in ssh with python manage.py but not in browser.
I checked /etc/network/interfaces this file, following lines already exists there:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
Anybody has any other solution?
Daya,
I try run with port 0:8000 0.0.0.0:8000 but no use.
Also, /etc/network/interfaces file was perfect.
But In my case, solution for this problem was to change script file's location.
I mean to say my django application folder location was /home/ubuntu
but when I move it to /Var/www it worked.It worked because server is apache2.
got my server working with Apache, ran it and everything was peachy. Added an html file to the templates and set a the views.py and urls.py to render it at the correct url. Synced everything via git, but when I issue sudo python manage.py runserver 123.456.789.000:80 (with my IP filled in, to run on port 80), I get Error: That IP address can't be assigned-to.
Puzzling, because I just ran the server successfully at that IP address...
Thoguhts?
If you've got Apache running on port 80, as it is by default, then of course you can't run runserver at that address as well. Although I don't know why you'd want to.
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
