When I run my django server from PyCharm it is not accessible from the outside world.
I read that you can run in the cmd like that, and it works.
python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
How do I run it to be accessible to the outside world from PyCharm?
I need to run it from there is order to debug.
thanks!
At the upper-right corner (by default) of PyCharm you can edit the configuration for your server:
In there specify as host 0.0.0.0.
Don't forget to take care of your firewall/NAT by opening and forwarding the appropriate ports.

I have made a Django employee portal which will be accessed by LAN only.
It works when another employee opens it by typing the IP address of the server on their web browser.
However I don't have much experience with Django and I think that this is not the proper way to do so. I run my server using python manage.py runserver and use sqlite3 as database.
Is this the correct way to do so? How should I deploy my portal.
I am very new to Django and would appreciate some help.
I am using a windows machine and I used pycharm to make my project.
And also I need to know how can I have the server running even when I close pycharm, as ctrl-C or closing pycharm breaks the server
The simplest way to allow everyone on your network to access your Django webserver is to do python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
This allows anyone on the network to access it by using your IP address (or computer name) and the port 8000. (so something like 192.168.1.2:8000)
This of course isn't really nice specially if you intent to use this as a production environment. panchicore's answer should help you setup a good production environment.
Setting up Django and your web server with uWSGI and nginx
There is not an official way to do it, what I do effectively, intranet solutions as well, is with nginx and uWSGI (on ubuntu).
Serving with Windows? perhaps: https://www.toptal.com/django/installing-django-on-iis-a-step-by-step-tutorial is a proper way to do so.
I think for ip address issue you can use host names
https://wesbos.com/localhost-mobile-device-testing/
and for running server in background you can use gunicorn with supervisor check this out https://www.agiliq.com/blog/2014/05/supervisor-with-django-and-gunicorn/
For business matters i've moved my local server to enterprise's server for doing some tests but i don't know how to start/stop server via local, i guess it's launching via python runserver... but i don't know how to do it with the files allocated in another machine.
Regards!
You should connect to a remote machine, activate virtualenv , python manage.py runserver serverip:port . That's all. Also check that your port is not closed by firewall.
After changing the view function without runserver again, and press F5 to refresh the page, Django will not reload the new view but use the previous one. but if you change the template, Django always uses the new one.
So, Is there a way to make Django reload the view every time the user refresh the page, I think that is very convenient for develop to modify the view function frequently.
If you are running django using the dev server (./manage.py runserver) then it will always reload when it detects any code changes. This is even more efficient than reloading with every request. If you make a change, it reloads when it needs to.
If you are running a production server (nginx, apache, etc) and you want code-reload, then you need to add something to your wsgi module to detect code changes.
Code reloading with apache: http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/ReloadingSourceCode
Code reloading with uwsgi: http://projects.unbit.it/uwsgi/wiki/TipsAndTricks
It is a known issue with PyDev. I would suggest running the server from terminal/cmd.
cd to your project directory where manage.py is present and run the server using
python manage.py runserver
You don't need to run the project from eclipse menu.
Any changes made in eclipse would be reflected as soon as they are made.
If you are running Django as a WSGI application in daemon mode you just need to touch the wsgi.py for your site and it will reload the application next time there is a request. (So no need for any special options).
I noticed it is a setting in pyDev run configurations. I wonder why but it seems --noreload is configured by default. So I edit arguments of run settings and now the server is reloading also when editing views.
Try using gunicorn or nginx as running server... They dont restart on code change
try typing
gunicorn --bind 0.0.0.0:8080 app.wsgi:application
Hi everyone i'm trying to learn the django framework and I'm using PyDev (Eclipse Python Development Framework/Plugin). When I try to run my application I get an error:
Error: [Errno 10013]
I know that this is because of the port. I use the port 8000 and i want to change it to 8080. Does anyone knows what exactly should i do to change the port?
pydev debugger: starting
Validating models...
0 errors found
Django version 1.3.1, using settings 'muapp.settings'
Development server is running at http://127.0.0.1:8000/
Quit the server with CTRL-BREAK.
Error: [Errno 10013]
It might be useful to point out that PyDev, like Eclipse, runs the configured command when the Run button is pressed. How is the default command and/or its options changed?
Have a look at this video tutorial. Skip about 14 minutes in. Then use runserver 8080 instead of runserver in the arguments.
Please take a look at the PyDev Documentation on how to change the Run configuration.
Run/Debug as Django
Run as Django/Debug as Django are available (note that they set the
--noreload by default).
This will create a default Run configuration, so, you may edit it
later through run > run configurations (or debug > debug
configurations) if you want to change a parameter.
Note: to know how to rerun the last launch see: the Rerun Last Launch
topic on PyDev Launching
Note 2: if the --noreload is not passed, only the parent process will
be killed from Eclipse and the others will only be killed when they'd
be reloaded (i.e.: on a code-change).
Whether it's "Eclipse" or "PyDev", right-click on the Project and select "Run As" --> "Run Configurations..."
Additionally, according to the django Documentation,
runserver [addrport]ΒΆ
Starts a lightweight development Web server on the local machine. By
default, the server runs on port 8000 on the IP address 127.0.0.1. You
can pass in an IP address and port number explicitly.
Therefore, in your Project's Run Configuration, on the Arguments tab, simply add:
runserver 0.0.0.0:8080
This should have the server listen on all interfaces/IPs. Alternatively, you can make it more specific to your public-facing IP instead:
runserver 123.456.789.123:45678
Please, note that in this case, my IP would be "123.456.789.123" and the port would be "45678".

How to make Django's devserver public ? Is it generaly possible?
How can i get the running server URL
External Link; Third-party blog-post
I am experimenting with django and I throw the code on my server like explained in the first chapters of the django book 2.0.
I have apache running on this server, too (port 80). If I stop apache I can start my django site by calling
sudo python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:80
If I access it from another machine by
http://myservername:80
it works fine. Now, apache is running an important page, and I don't want to let apache stoped. How do I make mysite available on another port?
Edit: I'll try to explain more:
When apache runs, typing into the adressfield of my browser, shows me the "important wepage".
Starting my django test project with
sudo python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:anotherport
and accessing trying to acces it by
http://ipadressofserver:anotherport
does not work.
If apache is tuned off, and I start my django project by
sudo python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:80
I can access it by
http://myservername
http://myservername:80 (the browser changes this to http://myservername/
http://myserverIP and http://myservrIP:80 (The latter resolves in the former).
I am not experienced in Serveradministration so please ask me, if there is something specific I can tell you, to help me solve the problem, please ask me, and I'll provide the information - if possible.
Specify a different port when starting the dev server:
$ python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
and connect to the site via:
http://myserverip:8000
You should be able to configure your router appropriately to point to any port. This question should more directly relate to how do you expose a specific port to be browsed. Any information you could provide about your router would be more helpful to address this.
