Can I run django-server in Pycharm with root permission?
I need to start the server (in debug mode) at the port 80.
I set host to 0.0.0.0 and port to 80 but if when I try to start it from Pycharm I get this error:
Error: You don't have permission to access that port.
I also tried to run this custom command:
sudo runserver 0.0.0.0:80
but it fails. I use macOsX Lion, any suggestions?
You can either run PyCharm as root itself and its child processes will inherit the root permission or you can use port >= 1024.
If you want to run it to be accessible on port 80 while running on the unprivileged port, consider setting up some reverse proxy on port 80 that will redirect traffic to Django port >= 1024 so that it can run without root.
I'd recommend using nginx as a front-end.
Also check this question.
Run PyCharm from Terminal like so:
sudo /Applications/PyCharm.app/Contents/MacOS/pycharm
You need to launch the binary as sudo.
This will allow PyCharm to run the dev server as root on port 80.
replace 0.0.0.0 with localhost ;-)

I am running an ubuntu 16.04 cloud VPS server. I've set up a venv and activated it, and installed django.
I run the server with
python3 manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
I am trying to access this application from a remote computer (not inside the same LAN); I'm trying to make the application visible to the world outside the VPS and VPLAN. When I try to access the site in my home computer broswer like: xx.xx.xxx.xxx:8000 I get the error:
This site can’t be reached. http://xx.xx.xxx.xxx:8000/ is unreachable.
Now I've tried a traceroute and it seems to reach the server ok. I also did
sudo ufw enable
sudo ufw 8000 allow
sudo iptables -S | grep 8000 (and see the proper entries)
In the settings file I have:
ALLOWED_HOSTS = ["*", "0.0.0.0", "localhost", "xx.xx.xxx.xxx","xxx.temporary.link"]
If I wget localhost:8000 I get a response fine. I have tried doing all of the above as root and as another dedicated user but it makes no difference.
I ran through this guide
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-django-with-postgres-nginx-and-gunicorn-on-ubuntu-16-04
and I still have the same issue.
Does anyone have any other ideas? Thanks in advance
Try:
sudo ufw allow 8000
Not:
sudo ufw 8000 allow
I am a beginner on Django. And try to deploy a testproject on cloud server to check if it works or not.
Server: Ubuntu 16.04
And after I create virtualenv on the server with nginx installed.
I execute below:
python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
And then I go to the browser to access my server's http://ip-address:8000.
But it failed to show anything of my application.
I already added the ip-address to ALLOWED_HOST. But still not working.
Are there any thoughts for this situation?
maybe this method work for you because it worked for mine on the ec2 instance on Amazon web server.
step1: go to your dashboard find launch-wizard menu and open it.
step2: Now click on inbound after that click on edit. Here click on Add rule and select Custom TCP rule & enter 8000 in port range. Now again click on Add rule and select HTTP and similarly do for HTTPS then click on save button.
step3: save and restart your AWS machine. Hopefully, your Django app runs on 8000 port.
For a Linux instance in the security group, follow these steps to verify the security group rule:
Connect to a Linux instance by using a password.
Run the following command to check whether TCP 80 is being listened. netstat -an | grep 80
If the following result returns, web service for TCP port 80 is enabled.
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:80 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
If not then there is a problem with your security group setup, please go through the official documentation and see how you can fix it:

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
Why can't I run python manage.py runserver on all ports?
I understand this is probably a newbie question, but what prevents me from achieving this?
I would like to access my app without having to include the port, like a regular website
WARNING - Do not run the test server in production!
The reason you have to type in the port when connecting to the test server is because it doesn't run on a standard web port being "http: 80 and https: 443". If you use the command below it will not require the port number be provided when connecting to the test server. Keep in mind that you will need root or sudo access and if something is already running on port 80 it will fail.
Runserver with port:
python manage.py runserver -p 80
Just run it on port 80 and you won't have to specify the port.
You can't blast it on all other ports because many, many other services already use those other ports. Network services need to have ports specified.
I am new to EC2 and web development. Currently I have a Linux EC2 instance running, and have installed Django. I am creating a test project before I start on my real project and tried running a Django test server.
This is my output in the shell:
python manage.py runserver ec2-###-##-##-##.compute-1.amazonaws.com:8000
Validating models...
0 errors found
Django version 1.3, using settings 'testsite.settings'
Development server is running at http://ec2-###-##-##-##.compute-1.amazonaws.com:8000/
Quit the server with CONTROL-C.
To test that it is wroking I have tried visiting: ec2-###-##-##-##.compute-1.amazonaws.com:8000 but I always get a "Cannot connect" message from my browser.
Whenever I do this lcoally on my computer however I do successfully get to the DJango development home page at 127.0.0.1:8000. Could someone help me figure out what I am doing wrong / might be missing when I am doing this on my EC2 instance as opposed to my own laptop?
Using an ec-2 instance with Ubuntu, I found that specifying 0.0.0.0:8000 worked:
$python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
Of course 8000 does need to be opened for TCP in your security group settings.
You probably don't have port 8000 open on the firewall. Check which security group your instance is running (probably "default") and check the rules it is running. You will probably find that port 8000 is not listed.
1) You need to make sure port 8000 is added as a Custom TCP Rule into your Security Group list of inbound ports
2) Odds are that the IP that you see listed on your AWS Console, which is associated to your instance is a PUBLIC IP OR a PUBLIC Domain Name(i.e. ec2-###-##-##-##.compute-1.amazonaws.com or 174.101.122.132) that Amazon assigns.
2.1) If it is a public IP, then your instance has no way of knowing what the Public IP assigned to it is, rather it will only know the its assigned Local IP.
2.2) To get your Local IP on a Linux System, type:
$ ifconfig
Then look at the eth0 Data and you'll see an IP next to "inet addr" of the format xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (e.g. 10.10.12.135) This is your Local IP
3) To successfully runserver you can do one of the following two:
$ python manage.py runserver <LOCAL IP>:8000
or
$ python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
** Option Two also works great as Ernest Ezis mentioned in his answer.
EDIT : From The Django Book : "The IP address 0.0.0.0 tells the server to listen on any network interface"
** My theory of Public IP could be wrong, since I'm not sure how Amazon assigns IPs. I'd appreciate being corrected.
I was having the same problem. But I was running RHEL on EC2. Besides from adding a rule to security group, I had to manually add a port to firewalld.
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=8000/tcp
firewall-cmd --reload
That worked for me! (Although no idea why I had to do that)
Yes, if you use quick launch EC2 option, you should add new HTTP rule (just as it appears on the list) to run a development server.
Adding a security group with the inbound rules as follows usually does the trick unless you have something else misconfigured. The port range specifies which port you want to allow incoming traffic on.
HTTP access would need 80
HTTP access over port 8000 would need 8000
SSH to server would need 22
HTTPS would need 443
